- Hotfix #45 And Bandits DLC Release Date! - 18 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! We’ve just released another hotfix for Alaska Gold Fever, once again focused mainly on optimization. We’ve removed unnecessary, unseen rock formations, improved the performance of the streetlights near the Farm, and optimized the mountainous area behind the Farm. But the biggest news is still ahead! Bandits DLC is coming to Alaska Gold Fever on September 25th, 2026! The Bandits DLC will introduce a new threat to Alaska - dangerous outlaw gangs. You’ll be able to explore new regions and mining locations, discover bandit camps, face armed enemies, and take on new quests connected to the bandits and their influence on the region. The DLC also introduces a completely new business: moonshine production. You’ll be able to take over the business from rival bandits, gather ingredients, process and ferment them, and build and manage your own moonshine operation. Free Homecomin…
- Homecoming Update Devlog#6 - Meet the Grandfather! - 15 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! With the Homecoming Update, another member of the family is making his way to Alaska - Grandpa! He's the kind of guy who doesn't need a manual, a tutorial, or someone explaining how things work. Give him a pile of logs and a sawmill, and he'll know exactly what to do. So don't expect him to sit in a rocking chair and tell you stories all day! "Back in my days..." You'll find him working at the sawmill, helping you turn the wood you collect into useful materials. And judging by his appearance, he's been doing this kind of work for quite some time. 🪚 An Experienced Hand For his design, we wanted him to have that classic old craftsman look. He has a big beard, a warm hat to protect him from the Alaskan cold, and a work apron that makes him look ready to get his hands dirty. His outfit also gives him a similar feel to the traditional working clothes we've used for other…

- Bandits DLC: Devlog #11 - New Territories to Explore - 14 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! The Bandits DLC doesn't just bring new enemies and new challenges. It also expands the world of Alaska Gold Fever with several new territories and locations to explore. The new areas are colder, wilder, and much more dangerous. You'll have to travel through frozen forests, cross open wilderness, and explore places controlled by the bandits. Recommended as "end game" exploration ;) 🧊 Frozen Lake One of the new areas is a frozen lake, but don't expect a peaceful walk across the ice. This is the place where you'll face one of the more intense fights in the new territory. With bandits around and little room to hide, you'll need to be ready for a serious shootout. 🥃 Moonshine Distillery High on top of a hill, you'll find the bandits' moonshine distillery. Getting there means making your way through the new territory first, but reaching the distillery is only the beginnin…

We won’t spoil too much just yet, but keep your eyes open - some things around Alaska are starting to change! 👀 Thank you for continuing to report issues and share your feedback with us! ⛏️ 🛠️ Patch Notes - Version 2026.09.10.02 Optimized the lamp object that illuminates paths and the town at night Improved the appearance and consistency of the game world's 2D map Fixed pier decals Removed unnecessary pier colliders Modified the small house next to the town and other >secret
- Homecoming Update Devlog#5 - Building the Polish Store - 9 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! The Homecoming Update brings your family back to Alaska, and with them comes something that might feel a little more familiar - a Polish Store. 🇵🇱 After arriving in Alaska, your family brings a shipment of goods from Poland. The first thing you'll see that a boat is loaded with crates and supplies. But before you can start selling anything, there's quite a bit of work to do. The area around the store needs to be cleaned up and prepared. Build the store before it can become a proper business! 🏗️ Building the Store Our artist created the entire setup with the construction system in Unity, allowing the store to be assembled from its individual elements. The props were carefully placed to make the location feel like a real shipment that has just arrived. The crates at the beginning are an important part of this - the idea was to make it look as if the family had just s…

- Bandits DLC: Devlog #10 New Gold Mines - 3 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! The Bandits DLC doesn’t just bring new enemies, weapons, and dangerous encounters. It also expands Alaska with two brand-new gold mines, each with its own atmosphere, layout, and challenges. 🐍 Serpent Mine High up in the mountains lies the Serpent Mine - a long and winding mine where the tunnels twist and turn deep beneath the mountain. Its narrow, winding corridors make it a bit different from the other mines you've explored so far. You never quite know what you'll find around the next corner, and getting deeper into the mine means navigating its complicated layout and discovering its hidden riches. But there's one problem... The mine is currently controlled by bandits. If you want to claim its gold for yourself, you'll first have to fight your way in and take the mine back from them. Bring your weapons, ammunition, and plenty of courage - this won't be a peaceful m…
- Homecoming Update Devlog#4 - Building a Home for the Family - 2 September 2026
Hello Prospectors! We've already shown you your sister, your mother, and the new family story coming with the free Homecoming Update. Now it's time to show you something that will bring them all together: Your new family home! 🏡 Until now, the hotel was your main place to rest. But with Homecoming, you'll finally have a proper house of your own - and, of course, we had to make sure it felt like a real part of Alaska. 🪵 Building the House in 3D The house was created in Blender, using our existing buildings as a base for the design. One of the tricks we used to make the wooden walls look more natural was to give individual planks slightly different treatment. Each plank was painted with a different value using Vertex Paint, allowing us to control which boards would receive paint and which would remain bare wood. The house also uses three different UV maps, which allow us to separately c…

- Homecoming Update Devlog#3 - Meet a Polish Mother - 25 August 2026
Hello Prospectors! We've already introduced your sister, your new home, and the family business... But let's be honest. A Polish family isn't complete without Mom. 🇵🇱❤️ And yes... she's coming to Alaska too! Mother-love Straight from Poland, your mother arrives looking exactly like you'd expect a classic Polish mom (or babushka?) will look like. After all, you may be searching for gold in the middle of Alaska, but that doesn't mean you should forget about proper food! 🌭 Helping With the Polish Shop Mom will become another important part of your Polish Shop. She'll help keep the business running and take care of the everyday operations while you're busy exploring Alaska. And naturally, what's a Polish shop without some proper Polish food? Expect plenty of kiełbasa (sausages), traditional products, and other goodies from home. Because apparently, even during the Alaskan Gold Rush, some…

- Bandits DLC: Devlog #9 Bandits Treasure & Hidden Loot - 20 August 2026
Hello Prospectors! We've already shown you the bandits, their camps, their weapons, and some of the dangerous places they'll be hiding in. But there's one important question left: Why should you risk your life going after them? Well... bandits tend to collect quite a lot of valuable things. And in the upcoming Bandits DLC, you'll have plenty of opportunities to take some of it back. 🔫 Defeat the Bandits, Take Their Loot Every encounter with the outlaws can bring a reward. After defeating a bandit, you'll be able to find gold and ammunition among their belongings. So while you're spending bullets taking them down, you can replenish your supplies and potentially walk away with some extra gold. Not a bad deal, right? Well... assuming they don't shoot you first. 💰 Bandit Treasure Chests Bandits don't keep all their valuables in their pockets. Throughout their territory, you'll discover ch…
