Updated Early Access Roadmap
With Early Access going we did a review of our Roadmap and have moved a few things around to help bring content at a more consistent rate. We're keeping with the plan of 3 phases before we hit full release where we can focus on specific aspects to work on. Each phase is expected to take around 3 months.

Throughout each of the phases we will be adding in additional Lost Lands into the caves and adding in more townsfolk.

Phase 1:


Our plan here is to work on more Optimization and bug fixing alongside getting the 3rd depth into the caves. That section introduces the basalt areas with ruins scattered within. The final thing we will be working on in this section is to get 2 more animals into the caves.

Phase 2:


We moved the plans for getting the book studying back to here. Lesath will be able to read one book each time between coming and going from the caves, and these can give Lesath things to talk about to the townsfolk, power-ups, or other surprises. We will also be working to get in steam features like cloud saves and achievements at this point.

Phase 3:


This phase is still like we planned on the previous roadmap. Finishing up the 4th depth, which will have all the most dangerous parts and secrets of the cave. And finishing up the animals and being able to catch one of each kind of animal.

Full Release:


After the 3rd phase, we will spend some more time polishing and cleaning our more bugs before we get to the full release. After that we keep with bug fixing and will see if we can keep adding more things to the game.

  • Fixed Compass
  • Town music should play correctly
  • Moved the Air Cleanser to the base level of the adventure shop
  • The Upgrade shop now correctly displays your money
  • Waymarkers got polished
  • Flicker is now resting outside the house in town
  • The Miasma in the cave grew stronger

Early Access is now Live!
We're very excited to announce Miasma Caves is now live! This is just the starting line for us, as we still have a lot left to do and fix. We will continue improving the game with our initial priorities on bug squashing and making the treasure hunting cycle more interesting. Thanks for being here at our start, we know it will be a long road and hope you stay with us through our journey.

0.7.1.2 Patch Notes

  • Fixed resolution select and windowed mode selector
  • Fixed fog and light in the cave

Release Date Announced
Hey Miasma Cave fans! We're happy to announce our release date will be January 23rd! Get ready for some cave spelunking!

Early Access Roadmap
As we approach starting our early access we thought we should list out our plans for adding features and content through release. We've broken it down into 3 phases so we can focus before moving to the next part.

Throughout each of the phases we will be adding in additional hidden areas throughout the caves, more townsfolk will be showing up, and we will add more visuals for the town updates. And with each of the new depths, more treasures will start appearing.

At Launch


On early access release the plan will be to have the first 2 depths of the caves in, which contain the sandstone and the limestone tunnels. There will be the some of the hidden areas scattered throughout these sections. Many of the treasures will be present, but some won't be appearing until the deeper sections of the cave are ready. In the town, a handful of the townsfolk will be in. The ones that run the stores are the first priority with the rest filling in as we go.

Phase 1


The first big things we will be working to get in after the early access starts is Optimization, the 3rd depth, which sometimes contain the basalt areas with ruins within, and getting studying in. Studying will give more uses for the books found within the cave. Lesath will be able to read one book each time between coming and going from the caves, and these can give Lesath things to talk about to the townsfolk, power-ups, or other surprises.

Phase 2


We will be getting more of the animals implemented. The first will be the Duskling, our raven/bat creature that loves moving and hiding treasures. Followed by the Will'o''Wisp, whose abilities are still being designed. We will also be working to get in steam features like cloud saves and achievements at this point.

Phase 3


This section we will be working to finish up the 4th and final depth of the cave which will have the most dangerous areas inside, with more of the hidden areas revealing more of the secrets of the caves. We will also be working to finish off the remaining animals (like the mole/pangolin creature) and the ability to catch each type of animal as a pet to live in town.

Future


With all of the above added in we will be comfortable with calling it a 1.0 full release. After release we will plan and see what else we can add to Miasma Caves.
