  • Cave Digger turns 4 years on 9th of May - 9 May 2022

    Howdy, diggers! It's been already four years. Can't believe it. On May 9th, 2018, Cave Digger was released as a free game on Steam and that's when our journey as a game development studio truly began! The free version of the game got approximately 100 000 downloads and got us confident enough to develop the game further and eventually release Cave Digger: Riches DLC. After the train expansion, the PC Edition and several other platform releases we decided to combine the free version on Steam with the DLC content for one premium product. This all allowed us to continue making games and here we are looking at CD2 full release sailing our way slow but steady. Read more about the Cave Digger's journey on this devblog post on reddit. And here we are, soon (TBD) celebrating the full release of Cave Digger 2: Dig harder!

  • Cave Digger 2: Dig harder! store page is up! - 15 March 2021

    The development has progressed to the point that we were able to publish the store "coming soon" page for our Digger sequel. However the time of the release is still unknown as there is a lot of things to do. You can see some early screenshots from the game in the store page, but some visual aspects will still change and we will be adding new screens and videos to the store page as we get more things ready! Many of the basic mining mechanics are starting to look pretty good, as does the multiplayer and level generation. The artist have been killing it with the 3D models and concept art lately and we've published many of these on our discord server and social media channels.

  • The Supporter's pack DLC to be removed from Store. - 20 December 2019

    Howdy-ho! Supporter’s pack DLC will be removed on Monday the 23rd of December. The DLC included: The golden pickaxe skin The soundtrack of the game After this long time since the initial release of the game, we felt that our biggest fans had had the chance to purchase the pack for our support and the package no longer served any purpose to us or the players. Also, it created some confusion among the users after we combined the free version and the Riches DLC some time ago. (Read more about this in our previous announcements) If you purchased the supporter’s pack earlier, you get to keep the product and enjoy your golden pickaxe!
