  The Mine: Story Conclusion?

  Hello Miners,It’s been about 1.5 years since my last update here. During this time I’ve been busy with other projects, but the story of the miner in The Mine has never really left my mind.Lately, I’ve been wondering: should the story continue? I’ve been considering the idea of a Part 2 that could bring the narrative to a proper conclusion. If it happens, my plan would be to release it as a free update for everyone who owns the game, adding about 2 - 3 hours of additional gameplay.But before making any decisions, I want to hear from you:Would you be interested in a continuation?What would you like to see in it? (storylines, mysteries, features, anything at all)Your thoughts will play a big part in whether I take this forward.Meanwhile, the game is now available at 80% off on Steam! 🍁Best, Fredrik

  The Mine: Steam Achievements Update Now Live!

  Exciting news for all miners! I can now announce that my Steam achievements for 'The Mine' are completed and ready for you to experience. There are 26 achievements in total, and although their names might hint at their challenges, I believe discovering how to achieve them will be part of the adventure. I have made minor tweaks to the gameplay to make the achievement more fun and fitting. This update also includes more bug fixes, aiming to make your gameplay experience even smoother. As for the future of the game, including the story's conclusion and the possibility of adding new content or a Part 2. My decision will be based on players interests to make it happen, my current commitments and other factors outside my control, such as work obligations and managing all other responsibilities. While I'm considering the possibility of making this new content available for free for everyone who has already bought the game or considering to do so in the future, I want to keep expectations realistic and avoid making any promises at this stage. I hope you enjoy this update and encourage you to take it easy down in the mine! Best // Fredrik
