Rock Digger 0.7.0: Brand New World (part 1)
A major update for the Rock Digger demo has just been published! Major features : Full overhaul of the world's structure Rather than each biome being a completely separate level, the world is now one huge area with different biomes appearing depending on your current depth. Progress should flow a lot better, and the world now looks more natural! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136939/e55a70c5c62133daa8c4be340e6aa752ad1054e0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136939/fdd3645bbc0183a4ea7289e4ecc36b275b51a5ac.png Shops reworks Alchemy circles (shops) can now be found underground regularly, making backtracking significantly less frequent. If your inventory is full, it's now most often faster to simply carry on rather than going back to a previous shop. New Pickaxes The starting copper pickaxe can now only dig "low level" blocks. To progress deeper, the player will need to create new, stronger pickaxes. There is currently 4 different pickaxes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136939/7f5c942d585412714cb452ec9e43cead4693aa32.png Portals (experimental) Mysterious portals can now be found near the bottom of each biomes. Entering will be required to acquire the necessary materials for creating new pickaxes! (Note: the portals' other side isn't ready yet, so for now just finding the portal will complete the objective) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136939/21181cacf5852da3392c8fdf0276c46d506efbda.png New Biome (experimental) The 4th biome can now be entered, and a new ore can be found inside. For now, this biome is lacking unique special rooms, so this is more of a preview. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136939/c1b9a7ee5cfbabf31a03a236e6b67988ee44dd02.png Features : Map Screen Rework: When opening the full-screen map, the entire world can now be viewed (you still need to remove the fog of war by exploring first), rather than being limited to a short distance. This is also useful to take advantage of a new upgrade. New Upgrade: A new map-related upgrade can be found in the first biome. Go check out what it does! :) New art and anim...Read full article on Community Announcements (Dino [NG])Patch NotesOfficial
