UnderMine News

It's been a little while peasants, but we hope worth the wait? Welcome to UnderMine 1.1.0 Royals! UnderMine's first major update since release. Royals introduces a new zone, new boss, items, features, and a couple big secrets for you to discover.



Normally we would announce the update's release date alongside the preview, but we're still not sure on what it'll be. We're going to begin beta testing today, so if you'd like to try it early you can visit our Discord and follow the instructions there. We're going to gather some player feedback before deciding on a final date.

If you'd like to read up on what's new, you can find the full preview here:

This update has been in development alongside some other work that we can't announce yet, but just know... it's exciting! Hopefully we can share it soon.




In other news, we still have some Pilfer plushes available from our partner Dual Wield. If you'd like a stuffed reminder of your most hated enemy you can snag one here:

And finally we'd like to share some fanart made by our wonderful community.

We LOVE seeing fanart, so if you've made some, make sure to share it with us on Twitter or in Discord. We'll be sure to see and share it if you like.

Take care peasants! And expect an announcement soon on a full release date for the Royals update!

Hey! We're realistic. It's pretty unlikely that a scrappy little indie game is going to win Game of the Year, but a peasant can dream! Regardless of whether we win an award or not, we just want to let you all know that we really appreciate your support this year. UnderMine had an incredible launch out of early access and we owe it all to you.

We hope you've enjoyed your time with the game and look forward to continued support. In the mean time, if you want to smash that nominate button, that'd be pretty cash money of you.

Pilfer plush! Pilfer plush! Pilfer plush!

So many players asked for it, so here it is! We've teamed up with Dual Wield Studio to develop UnderMine's first bit of merch. Now when you lose that bit of gold you can take out your frustrations on this adorable puff ball. Alternatively you can detach the magnetized gold nugget and teach this pilfer a lesson in thievery.

Pilfer plushes will be available at the Dual Wield store while supplies last:

Make sure to share photos of your pilfers with us on Discord and Twitter. Also, let us know about any other merch ideas you may have.

We're currently working towards our next content update, but we wanted to get this small update out to fix some bugs and to translate into Italian!

As with other languages, the game will auto-detect your settings, or you can switch using the in-game Options menu. Attenzione ai pilfer!

Thanks everyone for supporting us through a great launch. Sales and reviews have been really strong and we've seen a ton of love from Twitch. Even cracking the top ten games for a hot second. That being said, there were some issues that we wanted to sort out between now and the next content update and here they are! We do have some plans for the next update, but it will be a little bit before we're ready to reveal what those are. In the mean time we hope you are enjoying your time with UnderMine.
