What we’re working on!

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3][p]We’ve got something exciting in the works for you! In this Development Log, we want to tell you about a much-requested feature the team is working on: Mid-run saving.[/p][p]So how does it work? When you quit the game, your progress will now start at the last shop you visited. That means no more losing a great run because your pet lootbug tripped over the power cable.[/p][p]This feature is also related to the much-anticipated Endless Mode (yes, still coming). Runs in this mode can take a lot longer, and your decisions will carry even more weight, so being able to safely pause or recover after a crash on a late stage will make the experience smoother and far less frustrating.[/p][p]It’s a feature that’s pretty seamless but has a big impact, and we can’t wait for you to try it out and tell us what you think. We’ll make sure to keep you posted on when you can expect this feature to drop in the future.[/p][p][/p][p]Mobile Launch![/p][p]In other exciting news, we are thrilled to announce that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is now available on mobile. Play it right now on both iOS and Android! Try the game for free, and if you like it, you can unlock the full version with one purchase.[/p][p]iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deep-rock-galactic-survivor/id6742194903[/p][p]Android link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghostshippublishing.deeprockgalacticsurvivor&hl=en[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
