Dwarves Mining Idle News

For starters, thank you all for your reports. There has been some new issues that rose up after EA launch and I'm currently looking into some of these issues whilst some have been fixed. That being said, it appears there's a report where everything disappeared after Hotfix v0.1.02. If I had to guess it could possibly be an error causing this issue, but I do apologize for this inconvenience! I'm currently looking into this issue.

If you experience any type of bug, remember, you can:

1. Join our Discord.
   
2. Go to our Bug Report forum

While waiting, I want to shine some light on things. This is my first game release so all of this experience is all new. I want everybody to have the best experience possible with my game and I'm trying to make that work by dishing out fixes asap. To make the bug fix process faster, I need your report if you haven't reported any issues yet.

Prior to launch, over 50 bugs and major changes were made that benefited gameplay and resolved major issues. Trust me, we're going to squish these remaining bugs together!

[h3]AI[/h3]

• I'm not happy how the Dwarf AI is acting. I'm working on a complete overhaul of the Dwarf AI right now. It will take some time and the in the meantime I'll fix any issues reported in relation with the old Dwarf AI. This new overhaul should make the Dwarf AI more responsive and less wonky.
  
  
• There's an issue with moving windows in higher resolution. I'm looking into it and this will be in a later update.
  

Again, thank you for your patience and trying out Dwarves Mining Idle!

Another Hotfix to for dwarves, guide, and players not receiving their second Dwarf.


[h3]Guide[/h3]

• Fixed Guide not continuing when your Dwarf destroys their first tile and you haven't skipped to that part of the guide yet. This also prevented you from getting your second Dwarf after completing the first part of the guide.
  

[h3]Dwarf[/h3]

• Fixed Dwarf not moving at the start of the guide.
  
• Fixed Dwarf Behavior not changing correctly once you set to 'Mining', etc.
  

Quick little hotfix for Dwarves that seem to got passed us!
Bug Reported by Mydargo on Discord. (Thank you!)


[h3]UI[/h3]

• Fixed Dwarf Stat Window Behavior Drop Down not changing to the current Dwarf's behavior.
  

[h3]Dwarf[/h3]

• Instead of Dwarf Behavior "NONE", it has been changed to "IDLE" now to dismiss confusion.
  
• Fixed Dwarves continuously running in place when in combat.
  
• Fixed Dwarves Behavior not changing when guide isn't completed. Guide is still being worked on so technically you cannot complete it yet, only pause.
  
• Fixed when going to Dwarf Stat Window it would bug out the Dwarf's behavior.
  

Release is finally here! Thank you all for waiting patiently and for those who wishlisted for this moment. Please note this is in Early Access and features, mechanics and certain aspects of the game aren't fully implemented just yet. While we love adding new content, our approach to game developing is different than most games and their developers. We want to fix bugs before adding an abundant of content. That way we know everything is working as intended before moving on to our next release versions.

If you need help browsing around our forum, please take a look at our Welcome thread to get you started. This will give you all the information you need like; Roadmap, Discord, Suggestions and Bug Reporting.

What are you waiting for? Get those Dwarves to work!

It has been awhile since the last update and I do apologize! I've kinda been off and on with my work and game development, but I did want to spend the time to update everyone. That being said we're close to Early Access release and I want to get the game polished and tested as quick as possible, even if I have to delay another month. Expected release date is around July 31st to Aug 1st, but I might move it to the end of August depending on what can be done in that amount of time.

What has been done since the last update?

Read at your own risk for spoilers!

[h2]Perk Book[/h2]
What is a perk book? Well progressing in the game and unlocking new stuff is going to be amazing and I'm trying to make it worth-while for everyone. The Perk Book will handle certain tasks like Teleporting items from floor to floor or increasing/decreasing ore spawns. This unlock is down the line within the game, but it's what is currently being implemented; along with other perks.




[h2]Updates[/h2]

Guide
• Finished the guide. What's left? Adding helpful tips or guides when unlocking new stuff.
  
• Guide information now saves
  

Dwarf
• Fixed Dwarf's animation not stopping when resting.
  
• Fixed Dwarf during guide not able to be clicked during resting.
  

Perks
• Implemented purchasing of 3 area perks. These perks were previously added but now can be bought and setup in the Perk Book

World Gen
• Stone will no longer spawn in the first area.
  

Once certain mechanics are implemented (the very important ones for progression) I'll be working on the Q3 roadmap updates. This might be a month or so behind and I do apologize! That's why I might delay release another month to get things going at a good pace if I'm not too busy with my fulltime job.
