..1.1.0.4:
- Mini-map upgrades: You can now see your teammates, chests that you've found, and merchants on the mini-map.
- You can also ping areas of the mini-map to alert your teammates.
- Also added an optional inverted controls toggle in the settings (it was requested so that up/down while roping can be reversed).

- Leaderboards have been reset for the month! Hop in the top 10 early to grab that sexy leaberboard skin.
1.1.0.5:
fixed a rare but annoying bug where sometimes the server thinks your on the opposing team, and you cannot damage the enemy team or score points.
Hotfix 1.1.0.6 - Settings bug fix
Just put up a patch for a fix for a settings bug. If you changed your monitor after adjusting the settings, it could prevent you from loading up settings again.
Should be fixed up now!

Hotfix 1.1.0.2 live - improves initial load
Hotfix 1.1.0.2 is now live: It's been reported that the initial load can hang up a bit while loading the game's fonts. This should be improved with this fix.
Cheers!

Trading cards are here! New limited edition skin, more!
The much requested Miner Meltdown Steam trading cards are here! You may have noticed a few of them behind added to your account. Collect packs to earn some pretty cool badges, emoticons, and custom backgrounds.
Also, play anytime before the end of the month to unlock the new limited edition "Shy Miner" skin! It should drop after playing a few matches.
(It's one of my personal favorites)
There's also a new hot fix live that updated the default secondary weapon to work with left-control on the keyboard. For those who have already played the game, you may need to manually change the mapping by holding option while the game is booting up.
Have a great week!

Miner Meltdown Launch Update Preview!
Hey Hey!
Miner Meltdown’s transition from Early Access to Full Release is set for Aug 2nd, and there is a pile of new goodies coming with the launch update!
The launch update adds the new "Crazy King" game-type, new "Cuddler" mutant, the "Destructo-Duck" weapon, and more.
So, Miner Meltdown is officially 1 month away from its transition from Early Access to Full Release!
Many have asked me what is the difference of being in Early Access vs Full Release: When Miner Meltdown hit Early Access, it had 1 game-mode, no bots, no unlockable items, and it wasn’t overly hard to find a fair share of bugs. It was playable, but definitely not a complete game. The game is now very close to being the game that I envisioned making, and this next update will mark a big milestone.
I’m aligning the game’s biggest update yet with its full release: New weapons, brand new gametype, and more surprises! I’ll share more details on the new features as we get closer to the date!
Stay tuned!

And P.S, If you haven’t already picked up the game, it’s still 40% for the Steam Summer Sale!
