⛏ Bottomless Mines - Alpha 2 Preview Notes (Patreon)
Content
Been working on the bug reports everyone found in the previous Alpha 1 release. Here's a brief update for everyone on what's coming in Alpha 2!
Finished animations for Sapphire (the miner)
Jackhammer animations
More balancing
More Relics to find
Progression: Features will unlock as you play to learn each system one at a time
Hover Hints: Mouse-over certain buttons to get more information about them
New items: Coal & Fish
Coal Flakes - Found in Panning, Smelt 3 together for 1 Coal
Coal - Speed boost consumable for Refining/Smelting
Small Fish - Speed boost consumable for Tippy's next "shiny"

Temporary Alpha save
Looking forward to getting these new features out for you to test! Alpha 2 will be available in a few weeks on my $5 Tier. The Alpha versions won't have permanent save states, but I'll plan on making an Alpha temporary save state that won't mix with the Beta (permanent) saves.
There will be Alpha 3 for Bottomless Mines before the full public launch ✨
