• Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #4 - 6 June 2021

  Hey everyone! I have been working hard to make Galactic Mining Corp even greater! Thanks to your amazing feedback and suggestions I have added another set of fixes and additions. Here is whats in this patch... Added a second control method. Several users with hand related injuries/problems have stated that extended play causes them discomfort. I want to do everything I can to make Galactic Mining Corp fun for everyone. Now you can switch to "Auto drill" mode in the options menu. This will make the drill automatically follow the mouse, when the left mouse button is held down you will stop until you release the button. Crit strike has had a make over. Hitting a crit will now cause damage to some surrounding tiles in front of your drill. A crit strike will cause (base drill damage + crit damage) to the tile being drilled and crit damage to surrounding tiles. This affects tiles, crates and…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #3 - 30 May 2021

  Hey everyone. Alongside the launch of the Galactic Mining Corp Steam trading cards I have managed to update quite a lot in the game itself. Some fixes and a few new additions! The infirmary level 3 upgrade no longer costs a BAJILLION coins. It now has a reasonable price. More work on the sound effects volume issue. I am hopeful it should now apply chosen volumes to sound effects (including muted) Music will no longer be interrupted/silenced by lots of explosions. Coretrium 3rd final node changed from a xp boost to a Research coin drop increase. (this will sadly not be applied if you have already unlocked it) Late game drilling earnings will be updated correctly when numbers get really high. Upgrading tiles/items to max will no longer randomly leave the "level up" button visible. Horizontal explosive crates now kill monsters. fixed another load of typo's and grammar issues. Fixed a rare…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #2 - 22 May 2021

  Hey everyone. Thanks again for the mind blowing support and very helpful feedback about the game. I am reading and trying my best to respond to as much as I can. Whats new? Sound effects should no longer play when SFX volume is set to zero and should also all play at the correct volume level Fixed a boosting bug where even when stationary boost points would be used Increased the size of the HQ panning control so you don't need to touch the very top of the screen You can now boost damage both chests and power up crates Changing location in the Astronomy screen while Nano drill loot is being provided no longer makes the items/tiles vanish Fixed a bug where monsters would get trapped outside the screen or not appear at all Fixed a bug in which rooms placed directly above the HQ door were behaving strangely when removed and replaced Tweaked particle creation when drilling again to try and r…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Launch Week Update - 21 May 2021

  Oh my days, what a launch week this has been! Thank you all so much for the enormous love you have shown for Galactic Mining Corp! On Tuesday, the game launched on Steam and the response has truly blown me away. Wow. Galactic Mining Corp made it onto Steam's front page in "New and Trending" (and it's still there), but now also currently appears in the "Community Recommended" carousel too. The game has surpassed even my wildest expectations with more than ten times even my most optimistic sales estimates (this in addition to the huge backing the game got on Kickstarter). Over the last few days, the Steam stats have shown over a thousand concurrent players in the game during peak hours in the United States. It's incredible to see so many of you getting into the game. I want to highlight the wonderful feedback from players. Not only have I read some wonderful reviews, but I am also gratefu…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #1 - 20 May 2021

  Hey everyone. Thanks for all the amazing support and feedback about the game. Its been amazing chatting with you all and seeing so many people enjoying the game. I have been working day and night to address some small issues and requests raised both in the forums on Steam and in the Windybeard Discord Whats new? Pilot perks are now explained inside the Garage screen. When you are in the crew selection screen for the drill you will now see what pilot perk the crew member has AND an explanation of what it does. Twin Trouble arcade is now a bit easier. Your score will increase a bit faster plus you now have 3 bits of health instead of one. Lots of spelling and grammar corrections throughout the game. Coretrium scrolling collider has been increased in size so now you dont have to touch the very top of the screen to pan around Added a navigation explanation to the Coretrium Removed confusing…

• Galactic Mining Corp - RELEASE DATE SET - 31 March 2021

  Hey everyone This will be the final development update post, as I can now announce the release date for Galactic Mining Corp! First up, over the last few weeks I have worked on squashing over 200 bugs and issues identified by my amazing team of testers who have spent collectively thousands of hours playing the game through over and over again. In particular, I'd like to thank my good pal RetroSteezy for his incredible dedication to meticulously pulling apart my game over hundreds of hours of playtime - cheers, mate! :D Alongside all this bug fixing has been more polishing and some late-game balancing, which has been both difficult and time-consuming, but important to the overall experience. In my last update I told you that Lana_Lux had voiced Kira, the tutorial bot. She is now joined by Galactic Mining Corp's character artist, Peet Cooper, as the voice of Hogan the hangar dude. And of…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #14 - 8 March 2021

  Hey everyone! As even the world's richest people know all too well, launching on particular day is never a guarantee. Circumstances outside your control can upset even the best laid plans, and that is why I have unfortunately had a small slip in my release window. In the last update a few weeks ago, I had anticipated being able to formally announce the GMC release date sometime around mid-late March 2021. I am sorry to say this is going to be delayed by a few more weeks. Now, first up the game itself is pretty much done. The art and music is in. The balancing has been tweaked. All the custom content is finished. The bonus in-game arcade cartridges are ready. What has happened is that my planned house move has been delayed, which has skewered my original release schedule and forced a small shift in my milestone dates. "But Windy, why move house and try to release a game at the same time,…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #13 - 18 January 2021

  Happy New Year! It's a brand new year and I am really pleased to report that all of the crew members and HQ rooms are now finished and have been integrated into the game. Most of the artwork is now also done, with a few remaining larger static pieces for the Investment Sites still to go. I am growing the GMC universe every day with the backer content and it is shaping up really nicely. Further to extensive feedback from alpha testers, it became clear that the additional fourth galaxy was skewing the progression and spacing out the game content too far to be enjoyable. For this reason, I have decided to axe the fourth galaxy and re-structure things - the number of planets and locations will be the same, but in three galaxies rather than four. At the time the stretch goal of the fourth galaxy was created it was not anticipated that play would be negatively impacted, but this is part of th…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #12 - 23 December 2020

  Hey everyone! For those of you who have been tuning into my Twitch livestreams, you will have seen some great progress over the last few weeks. I am really pleased to tell you that all of the HQ rooms are now complete, as are most of the backer content rewards. HQ rooms include saunas, dark matter reactors, meditation gardens, and even an animal rescue centre. Here are some more examples of the new rooms you can build in your HQ building: Peet has been also working tirelessly on the crew character portraits, which have turned out beyond amazing. From fire-breathing space giraffe to a smug 1980s business guy who loves showing people his watch, there has been a huge variety of wacky crew lining up to join your mining corporation once you complete their in-game crew contract! Here are some of the latest additions to the crew roster: These have been some really important milestones that I w…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #11 - 1 December 2020

  This update is a little different to my previous ones, but it's both important and deserving of a little context - I have decided to change the name of the game to "Galactic Mining Corp". I'm in the process of making the name change across all media platforms effective Tuesday 1st December. Please rest assured that the game is staying the same as has been promised - it is only the name that is changing (and not really by much). "OK Windy, that's great, but WHY?" I hear you scream. First and foremost as time has gone by and development has progressed, it has become clear to me that the game is more than a sequel. It is Geo's successor in nearly every aspect, from the significant improvements in art and music, through to new gameplay elements and player experiences. As I consider the totality of the game, it is a standalone work in its own right - there is also no need to have played the…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #10 - 25 November 2020

  Geo 2 has been renamed as Galactic Mining Corp Hey everyone! As we reach the end of November, it has been a very intense few weeks here at the studio. There has been lots of testing and refinements on systems and mechanics across the whole of Geo 2. From tweaking progression in the Coretrium to adjusting the fine-grained stats for drills and bonuses, a huge amount of effort has gone in to get things balanced so that you have the most enjoyable experience when mining for your galactic fortunes. We know that players love being able to show off their skills and determination, so there are now over 100 unlockable achievements going into the game to track and celebrate your progress! There are a wide variety of achievements, with simple goals as well more challenging ones for the most demanding of gamers. We now move into December where work continues on the content and art for Geo 2. In par…

• Galactic Mining Corp - Development Update #9 - 31 October 2020

  Geo 2 has been renamed as Galactic Mining Corp Hey everyone So much has happened with both Geo 2 and my other games since the last update. Rest assured I am working on Geo 2 every single day and doing my very best to make Geo 2 the sequel to remember! So enough words Windybeard, tell me what you have done! Effects and Polish Now this is one of my favourite stages of a games development. Now that I am fast approaching the later stages of development I have been replacing, updating and polishing everything that needs it. Little tweaks to explosions, small visual effects, colour changes and rearranging things that didn't quite feel right. The list of these small jobs is too long to list here but after several weeks of this the game has leapt forward in terms of quality. Below are a few screenies that show some of these updates and effects. Caves and variety I have started ramping up the va…

• Geo 2 - Development Update #8 - 16 September 2020

  Hey everyone There has been loads of great stuff happening with Geo 2 over the past few weeks. Heres whats been going down in Geo town! Kickstarter As you may have seen the Geo 2 Kickstarter was a roaring success! It was fully funded in under 5 hours and finished at around 250% funded, achieving 2 stretch goals! This means that Geo 2 will now have an extra galaxy to explore, there will be hidden arcade mini games to find and play in the galaxy maps that will unlock cool stuff and thirdly you will be able to send nano drills off to bring you resources!! Wooo! A big part of the Kickstarter campaign was to allow people to put their own stamp on the universe by designing planets, rooms, investment sites and more. I am now getting back the information from the amazing backers as to what they would like and OH MY MY... we have some awesomely weird and wonderful things going into the Geo 2 uni…

• Geo 2 Kickstarter - Fully Funded! - 27 August 2020

  And there you have it! The Geo 2 Kickstarter campaign is over... and what a journey it has been! You wonderful backers smashed the initial funding target in under five hours, then unlocked the first stretch goal of the additional galaxy, and then with less than 25 minutes to go before the end, the second stretch goal of the Nano Drills was also unlocked. Thrills through to the very last seconds! :D I really can't thank you all enough for your support - it will give me the extra time I need to craft Geo 2 into what I always hoped it would be. The additional content, quality upgrades, and new game features would not have been possible without the incredible backing I have received from all you lovely people. Again, I send you all my greatest thanks for helping me to bring the full Geo 2 vision to life. Twitch | Discord | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Patreon | Steam | Youtube Much love…

• Geo 2 Kickstarter - Just 48 Hours Left - 25 August 2020

  There are now less than 48 hours until the Geo 2 Kickstarter comes to an end! Although Geo 2 will be my seventh commercial game release, this has been my first Kickstarter. Coming into it, I was quite nervous about how it would play out but the level of support from both my long-time fan base and new backers has truly blown me away. It's your pledges that will allow me to realise the final vision for Geo 2, plus also include some amazing content ideas and designs from backers. With just a couple of days left we have already almost doubled the original funding target and I can't thank you all enough for this support. CLICK HERE TO GO TO GEO 2 KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN Check out this loverly fan art rendition of Kira the Geo 2 helper bot. Drawn by the awesome Grace Liu. As you will hopefully have seen from the previous updates, work on the game has continued throughout the campaign including t…
