MineMogul News

[h2]RELEASE DATE:[/h2][p]The planned Early Access release date is December 4th, 2025.
[/p][h2]Roadmap:[/h2][p]This isn't exactly a "roadmap", but it outlines what we have planned for the immediate future. After doing most these, then we'll start to think about bigger updates, like maybe sulfur, or fluids, or minecarts, etc.[/p][p][/p][h2]Bigger Cave:[/h2][p]We've updated the cave for the Early Access version. The main starting room is now bigger![/p][p][/p][p]There are many new places to explore and areas to build in.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Quest Tree:[/h2][p]I like the simplicity of the linear quests at the start of the demo. It serves as a nice tutorial & introduction to the main game loop. But with all the new stuff we're adding, it makes sense to be able to unlock some of them in whichever order you want.[/p][p][/p][p]So, after completing the first few linear quests, you'll be given access to the quest tree.[/p][p]The design of this is still subject to change. We need to playtest it and balance it more to figure out what's right.[/p][p](I made this screenshot blurry because it's still WIP and will likely look different at launch.[/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes for demo version 0.0.0.28 (out now!):[/h2][h3]We also released a small patch for the demo[/h3]

• [p]Removed Halloween Pumpkins from the shop[/p]
• [p]Added a setting for "Always Show Holiday Items In Shop"[/p]
• [p]Fixed hud showing "LMB" instead of "RMB" to place buildings[/p]
• [p]Fixed one of the autominer spots listing ore in the wrong order (not sorted highest % to lowest %)[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your interest in MineMogul! We look forward to all your feedback in the Steam Discussions and Discord.[/p]

[h2]The demo has just been updated to version 0.0.0.27[/h2][p][/p][h2]Scary Halloween:[/h2][p]Boo! Now that you're scared, it's time to show you the new Scary Jack o' Lanterns, available in the Demo![/p][p]There's also the elusive Diamond o' Lantern, costing $1,000,000. Hardcore players have been asking for a money sink. We'll have more things to spend money on in the Full Game, but a collection of Diamond o' Lanterns can serve as an achievement for the most hardcore players in the demo![/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes:[/h2]

• [p]Added New Jack o' Lanterns & Diamond o' Lantern[/p]
• [p]Reduced price of Lamp Pole from $120 to $80[/p]
• [p]Fixed shop item boxes getting stuck in the elevator shaft sometimes[/p]
• [p]Fixed the "Wishlist" button not working in the Pause Menu (only worked in the Main Menu)[/p]
• [p]Possibly fixed the "AutoSaving..." popup not disappearing sometimes[/p]
• [p]Updated from Unity 6000.0.32f1 to 6000.2.9f1 (This shouldn't really affect anything, other than resolving the Unity Engine Vulnerability that affected most games)[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Preview of upcoming content for Early Access:[/h2][p]We're working on the Early Access version now and preparing for a potential Closed Beta.[/p][p]The recently released Trailer Video on the Steam Store Page showed off a bunch of new content coming to Early Access (not the demo). Here's a closer look at some of the new machines. You may have seen some of them already if you're in the Discord server:[/p][p][/p][h3]Tier 2 Splitter & Routing Conveyor:[/h3][p][/p][h3][/h3][h3]Rapid Auto-Miner:

The Pause Menu has been redesigned and the Main Menu now shows the latest Steam News post.[/p][p][/p][h3]Old Pause Menu:[/h3][p][/p][h3]New Pause Menu:[/h3][p]I'm not too happy with how all the extra buttons at the bottom of the new Pause Menu looks currently (Clear physics, turn on/off autominers, etc).

[p][/p][h2]Early Access Release & Closed Beta:[/h2][p]The demo is nearly complete now! We're switching our main focus to the full early access version of the game.
