Gemporium News

[p]Hello Moles![/p][p][/p][p]We've just been told by Valve that Gemporium has been approved for Steam Deck Verification ✨[/p][p][/p][p]That's all there really is to share, and this update shouldn't impact your game at all (besides some minor bug fixes) unless you're running on a Steam Deck! [/p][p][/p][p]Also, if you've been waiting to pick up Gemporium on Steam Deck maybe wait a biiit longer as the Steam Autumn Sale is just around the corner... 👀[/p][p][/p][p]

Hello moles,

Thanks as always for your support of Gemporium!! We have a small update today including one frequently-requested feature.

[h3]Click to Move[/h3]
You can now use the mouse to move, allowing for mouse-only gameplay if you want! (Right-click also now works as an interact button; if you see any places where the button prompt still says 'E,' just use right-click and it should still work.)

You can find this option in the accessibility settings.

[h3]Other[/h3]
We've fixed a bug where if you paused and unpaused during a mining minigame, you'd be able to move Moel while still mining.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all; we can't promise any major updates going forward due to our development scope, but this was one feature we really wanted to get in. We hope it helps more players enjoy the mines :)

[p]Hello Moles, we've reached another incredible milestone in just over a week![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We have been overjoyed and frankly blown away at the positive reception for our little game, so from the bottom of our hearts we want to thank you. It's only been a week since launch and we've surpassed all of our goals for this game by a long shot! It's very surreal to have this many people like what we made :)[/p][p][/p][p]We've pushed a few hotfixes and a patch to address some user feedback, but we know there are some greater questions being asked by the fans:[/p][p][/p][h2]Controller support?[/h2][p]We would love to add controller support, and know it is one of the most requested features! While we are still unsure of how long we want to continue working on Gemporium, this is something we would like to work on in the coming months.[/p][p][/p][h2]Steam Deck Verification?[/h2][p]This is also highly requested, and we would love to get Gemporium steam deck verified! We don't have a timeline as of now but stay tuned for more information.[/p][p][/p][h2]Localization?[/h2][p]Unfortunately due to our size and scope of the project, we didn't set out to localize the game and most likely won't be adding it in the future. [/p][p][/p][h2]More Content?[/h2][p]To be honest, we don't know! It's great to see so many people become invested in the game but don't want to make any promises that may or may not happen. If there are any plans for additional content or updates we will be sure to update the community![/p][p][/p][h2]What's Next?[/h2][p]We're taking a vacation! A much needed rest is in order for us to recharge and relax after shipping a game. We'll be back in 2 weeks but expect for us to be a bit silent while we get back into the swing of things. If you reeeeaally want a teaser though.....[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]
