A downloadable game for Windows

Digging\Mining game - *In Development*

Inspired from an old Flash game from the early 2000's called Motherload.  

  • Dig down to mine resources that you return to the surface and sell for money.  
  • Buy upgrades, Tools, Items and Buildings with credits to dig deeper.
  • The deeper you dig the more valuable the resources
  • Once the player is adequately upgraded, dig to the bottom and  defeat end boss

The original game was great but I wanted a few extras:

  • Procedurally generated maps that offer varying resources, items, depths, and missions to complete.
  • Multiple tools, equipment and weapons that help explore, dig and defend your operations.
  • An active NPC driven Quest/Mission system 
  • Unique items to discover

If I have time:

  • Ability to travel to different worlds.
  • Varying enemies and NPC's to interact with
  • Ability to make a 'claim' on a world and defend it against AI enemies\factions.
  • Building system for defense  and expansion of mining operations 
  • Explore both above and below ground.
  • Never ending expansion
    • Instead of just digging to the bottom of a single map, you will be able to build a transportation system (spaceport and spaceships) to explore the galaxy in search of new adventure and conquest.
    • Each 'world' that is claimed must be maintained and defended via building and upgrading.
  • Dynamically created Universe where worlds\solar systems are created when a player discovers them.
    • Player starts in their own corner of the universe and can expand and grow their mining empire.
    • Can interact with other players worlds
    • The new worlds are uploaded and stored on a central server which will allow for multi player play in the future.  Similar to No Mans Sky.
