• Prison Miner 1.5.0 Release - 1 Year Anniversary - 1 October 2026

  Prison Miner 1.5.0 - One Year AnniversaryPrison Miner released on steam exactly 1 year ago today, and with that comes a large graphical overhaul for the environment and UI across the whole game. Whilst I would've liked to add content within this update I was lacking on time, which is further expanded upon in the "Where next?" section of this post. Whilst I couldn't release any content with this, I knew I had to celebrate the year anniversary of this game somehow, so as well as this update comes our biggest sale yet of 50% offChangesImproved sprites in all areasRedesigned every areaShapeless mines (no longer is every mine a boring old square)New fonts have now been added.

• Prison Miner V1.4.0 - 4 June 2026

  Changelog:Compact Items:Certain materials can now be compacted into easier to store forms. Costing 64 of a material will convert it into a compact version of itself, then 64 of that to double compact and so on.These items can be converted back to their base material without any loss after compactingThe sell prices are adjusted based on the compact level so you do not lose out on anything via compactingAdded Item Compactor machine in mines to convert items between compact and base formsDeep Storage:Whilst the vault is good for storing certain items, and now with the compact materials also mass amounts of materials. I felt a place specifically for material along with some QoL usage of these materials would be a nice feature.Within the dwarven mines you can now unlock the "Deep Storage" within the vault. This is upgradable and allows you to store up to a certain amount of most materials, w…
