Cave Digger turns 4 years on 9th of May
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.

Cave Digger 2: Dig harder!
[previewyoutube="kP38UG6uCUA;full"]
Bigger world to explore, free-form mining in the caves, coop possiblity, interesting tool upgrades, combat and multiple endings (to come).
Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder is a 1-4 player VR adventure game taking place in an alternative weird west dieselpunk world. The player is a Prospector that starts from a small camp, bent on exploring and excavating valuable resources. This allows funding for many things from tools to structures and traveling to new locations. While the Prospector ventures deeper and deeper into the world, they start to discover that someone or something has already been there possibly long before he/she has arrived. And that he/she is essentially on route to track the footsteps of the renowed prospector, Clayton, and the mysteries looming around him.

Cave Digger 2: Dig harder! store page is up!
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.
Also shoutout to our audio designer / composer for creating these tunes:

Cave digger 2 community design contest 1
Hello from the frontiers of the new country! It’s time for our first community contest for Cave Digger 2: Dig harder!
We want to include you more into the development process of the game, instead of just choosing your favourites from our designs and what would be a better way to do that than a design contest? You’ll get to showcase your ideas and creativity and we’ll cherry pick the best option(s) and implement it into the game. The winner will also get a copy of Cave Digger 2: Dig harder! on Steam when it becomes available sometime next year.
DESIGN A HAT
Cave Digger 2: Dig harder! will have character customization, and one of the best ways to make your digger stand out from your friend diggers, is a fancy hat. CD2 takes place in an unexplored valley with rough weather and deep mines in a weird wild west country. A brave digger will need a good selection of hats in such conditions, so there’s definitely room to be creative with your designs. The limitations are that the hat must fit into small caverns and protect the digger from hazardous liquids dripping from the ceilings. So don’t make the brims too wide… nor too narrow.
First and foremost we’d love to see the designs in the form of art. Drawings, photoshops, 3d models and things like that. Besides that we’d like you to tell us what the hat is called and if it has any background story or other unique details you might think of. The drawings don’t have to be super good, as long as you can get the idea of what the hat looks like. Our artists will be able to fine tune them into something usable in game if needed. If you are absolutely unable to produce anything visual, describe it in the best possible way. However, the visual submissions will probably have a higher chance of winning.
“It wasn't the wearing of the hat that counted so much as having one to wear. Every trade, every craft had its hat.”
― Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad
That being said, read the rules and start designing!
RULES
- The hat design does NOT represent any copyrighted material. Things like Iron Man’s helmet or Super Mario’s hat will be discarded. Your design can be inspired by famous hats, but change it a bit just like you would copy your friend’s homework.
- The hat design does NOT represent any illegal, hateful, overly violent or explicit content. You know, use common sense.
- The design must be submitted by January 3rd, 2021.
- The submission must include an image of the design or a detailed written description
- One submission per contestant
HOW TO SUBMIT
You can post your submissions to one of these places:
- here in the comments
- the reddit thread
- Our discord server's #community-contest channel
Cave Digger 2: Dig harder! development begins
Great news from the frontier! We have discovered new weird west frontiers in the New Country and have begun the production of Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder!
It’s all still very new and there are a lot of things to do, but from now on you will be receiving news and development updates regularly. We hope to include as many of you as possible in the process to make sure the game is gonna be awesome for both original and new diggers to come.
CD2 will be first and foremost a VR release, and we aim to keep and improve some loved cave digger features, but also bring a bunch of new ones. More about those soon, probably in the form of some concept art to begin with.
You of course want to know when we’re planning to release this, but it’s too early to say now. What I can tell you now is that we’re planning to go early access first, probably Q2 or Q3 in 2021. Let’s see.
The badass in the image? That’s Clayton. Clayton is a miner, but not the player. This is one of the first concept images made for the game, so the subject is bound to change.
What would you like to see in CD2: Dig harder?
