Player leads team of 5 miners, who mines deeper and deeper for precious gems and other treasures. Excavations are performed on a small, but very rich in raw materials, planet called Morg. It is a perfect place for mining. Varied topography and beautiful scenery encourages for digging. Unfortunately, all what they mine is owned by The Mine. Suddenly, one day, owner of all mines on the planet, announced competition for the best mining team. Winner will receive the first prize - one of the richest mines on the planet! Additionally, that they will keep for their own all treasures found during competition. Why dig a whole life for someone, like you can dig for yourself and increase your treasury?

You will also have to cope with the mines itself, as they are placed in really wild and inaccessible places. Luckily, competition rules allows to use advanced mining tools.

Game features:
- campaign and “free play” modes
- 4 unique races with their own characteristics
- 5 mine graphic sets
- 5 precious gems to dig and to sell in the bank
- 6 advanced tools to buy in the shop
- 48 achievements to get
- 3 ways to control miners
- hand-drawn pictures
- map and campaign editor included
- half-open game construction
One of the most important game features is its half-open construction. Whole game is based on external files. This means, that game users cannot change game code, but they can interfere with its content. Anyone will be able to create and add something to the game, and distribute it to friends or entire community on official game website. This creates opportunity to make unique single mines or even whole campaigns, filled with various items to look for.
My game has been finally released and is available to buy on Steam store
I think it is worth to mention that game supports Steam achievements and cloud. I have in my plans to setup Workshop so players can share in the future with additional content (like maps, miner's races etc) that they will create.
There is also a demo available there, if you haven't a chance to try it earlier.
Hope, you will like it! Please feel free to share your thoughts about it here in comments, on Steam or by sending me an email.
I thought about this quite a long time, but finally I decided to try and make a demo version of The Miners. I was worried about successfully limit my game without any injury to game code, but I think I manged to do this.
The Miners Demo contains 2 playable races and 2 maps (+tutorial map). Additionally some achievements have been allowed. It provides good view on a gameplay before you make a final decision to buy a game.
Ok boys and girls! It is a time to grab good shovel or pickaxe and dig some tunnels in your mine! Mine deeper and deeper looking for precious gems and other resources like gold or silver. Do you know what does it mean?
Yes! Game is finally officially released!
You can buy it on Indie Game Stand store, or by using buy widgets placed on my newly created small portfolio website. There are two widgets currently available: Indie Game Stand and Humble Bundle. Please see below mentioned links.
Hope you will have so much fun playing my game as I while working on it.
Finally, after more than 4 years of development, I submitted The Miners on Steam Greenlight!
I spent lot of my free time to finish this game and to polish it as much as I can. I'm very happy from the final effect and hope that players, users of Steam, will appreciate my work. Hope... no... I believe, that they will and vote as "Yes"! I'm sure, that some day all of us will see The Miners on Steam store!
