- Update 1.1.1 is HERE! - 6 March 2025
Hello! It's been nearly 2 months since the release of the Fur & Flames Update, and players have been super happy about it!

In the meantime, today we have a new patch that fixes a lot of issues + 2 improvements!

Bugfix fixed bug that returned nullptr when a player tried to change the name of a character with a new species. Fixed bug when a square on the battle map…
- Fur & Flames Update is OUT NOW! - 17 January 2025
Hello! Today's the day! The Fur & Flames Update is FINALLY available, so time to go back to the fight and reclaim your mines! Fur & Flames Update Two things I really wish there were more options for in the game were the playable species and the enemy variety. This update basically arises from this desire. Shortly after launch last July, I had the idea of the plasmoids. I had been playing with this idea for a while. I thought about doing an update entirely focused on them, a type of “Plasmoid Invasion!”. Plasmoid enemies and a playable plasmoid species would exist in this update. After reflecting a little, I came to beasts and elementals, and, honestly, I found these ideas to be more exciting for players. But nevertheless, I still wanted the presence of plasmoids in the update. I thought about expanding the lore of this universe a little, creating dwarves from the far north and a catfolk…

- First Demo VS Now - 19 July 2024
Good day Heroes! Can you believe It's already D-4 before Forgotten Mines' release?! So, to show you how far the game has come since the First Demo back in 2022, here's a blogpost to explain and show you the major changes! First Demo For starters, I had never published a game on Steam before, but I did some research and knew it needed a good vertical slice. I developed a substantial demo that showcased the game up to its midpoint (but with a lot less content, of course), and despite my initial uncertainties, many of my decisions proved effective and contributed to my current progress. Essentially, my aim was to demonstrate that the game offered lots of content despite its minimalist appearance. The core mechanics of Forgotten Mines have remained largely unchanged from the project's inception. While numerous enhancements have been added since then, the fundamental gameplay elements were e…

- Mastering the Meta - 20 June 2024
Good day Heroes, We've explored the intricacies of tactical battles, leveling mechanisms and other wonderful key themes to master in order to successfully win your run. Let's delve deeper into the world of Forgotten Mines with a very important subject: the Meta. Currencies There are four of them: Iron Ore, Gold Ore, Gems and Kingdom Coins. Iron and Gold serve as currencies during the expedition, used to purchase items and supplies within the mines, that is, they exist so the player's expedition is as successful as possible. Gems are used to improve future expeditions and can be exchanged for Kingdom Coins, which are crucial for passive improvements for future expeditions. Iron is essential for upgrading equipment at the Blacksmith, while gold is extremely important to buy various items in the Shop and Reroll the items you can buy. Gems act as the primary meta-currency, while Kingdom Coi…
