Space Beach Party 2023


[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
It’s time for the 2023 SPACE BEACH PARTY - so grab your sunglasses and get ready for some company-sanctioned workcation activities:

  • Summer-themed decoration for the Space Rig, along with a playable steel drum and water balloons
  • Double Season XP Bonus when you deposit one of the pool floats that have been lost in the caves of Hoxxes
  • Two new assignments for the event: The Hoxxes Summer Cruise and Last Year’s Summer Fashion
  • The Great White Delight hat, obtainable upon completion of the Hoxxes Summer Cruise assignment. And of course, last year’s hats are obtainable by completing Last Year’s Summer Fashion

Enjoy, Miners. This year’s Space Beach Party ends on August 17th, 1pm CEST.
See you for some late summer activities in the mines of Hoxxes!

Rock and Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

Space Beach Party Preview


[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
Great news! Management has signed off on an increase in the celebratory budget, and is happy to announce that the Space Beach Party will make its way to the Space Rig on August 3rd, 1 PM CEST (Ending August 17th, 1 PM CEST).

Get ready for some late summer shenanigans, and put on your most festive garments for this sunniest of celebrations. Here is what you can expect:


[h2]The Hoxxes Summer Cruise
[/h2]
It is cold out here in space, so Management has provided you with work-related activities sure to get you sweating. Complete this special assignment for some warming rewards, including a special hat - The Great White Delight! Don’t miss this jaws-ome addition to your wardrobe, Miners. So remember to fin-ish this assignment before the event ends.


[h2]More Hats
[/h2]
Management also found some extra stock of last year’s hats, and have decided to award them through completion of the Last Year’s Fashion assignment. In case you forgot those exquisite designs, check last year’s post.


[h2]Pool Floats
[/h2]
While an actual pool was WAY outside of budget, Management ordered a shipment of pool floats so you can get the feeling of being by the poolside - without an actual pool, of course. The shipment is currently en route, being delivered by…

Longbeard Freight…

New plan, Miners! Once Longbeard Freight inevitably crashes the shipment into Hoxxes, Management will pay out double Performance Points upon retrieval of pool floats during a mission. Let’s turn those lemons into lemonade!


[h2]Space Rig Dressing
[/h2]
Enjoy the breezy, coastline feel provided by the Space Rig ambient sound system while throwing back a cold brew at the bar. And follow it up with a jam session on the company-provided steel drum or a water balloon fight. Why, it’s almost like a day at the beach.


Enjoy your workcation, Miners. You have earned it.

Rock and Stone!


With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

Bonus Track added to the Soundtrack on Steam



[h2]Hello, Miners!
[/h2]
Just before the launch of Season 04, you may remember that we added a new track to the game: Journey Of The Prospector. Now, for those of you who have bought the Soundtrack on Steam, we have great news for you - it has now now been added to your soundtrack!



This new piece of DRG music was one of the last contributions of DRG Sound Designer Troels, as he is embarking on a new chapter of his career. You can read all about that in our previous post/tribute to Troels.

Enjoy this sonic addition to the game, as you get back to fighting the Rockpox, Miners! And a hearty Rock and Stone to Troels for the extra 6 minutes and 45 seconds of awesome music to DRG.

Rock and Stone!


With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
