1.0.0.15 is out now, bringing is the big update of BOTS. They are currently only available in solo play mode, but by next week they should be added to multiplayer matches (as an optional lobby option).
Have fun! Let me know what you think of them! And don't forget to keep letting me know which features you would like to see added next in the forums.

Bot Stuff
Hey guys!
Just an update on where development is at. I've been hard at work getting bots ready, and v1 of bots should be out later this week! The first update will have them work for solo-play, and then shortly thereafter they will be able to be added to multiplayer matches.
Thanks for hanging tight!

Patch 1.0.0.14 is live!
Hey guys! New patch is up, which should fix a lot of the inconsistencies around joining matches in progress.
You may need to restart Steam in order to force the update.
I'm going to be playing / streaming for a good junk of the day tomorrow! Don't forget to hop online and play a few matches before March 2nd if you want to be rocking that sexy limited edition potato skin.
Looking forward to playing with ya's this weekend!

PC Gamer Weekender Expo this weekend!
Hey all,
I'm excited to announce that Miner Meltdown will be hitting London England this weekend! at the PC Gamer Weekender Expo.
Feb 18-19, stop by the Wargaming Labs indie showcase, and you'll get a chance to play the game before it releases to Early Access next week.
If your planning on attending, you can use the promo code "MINER" and save 20%.
Details can be found here Looking forward to meet you all!
Price Announcement
Many people have been asking about the price of the game when it hits Early Access.
Well, that price is... $6.99 (US)
That's right! For the low low price of a way overpriced coffee you can be exploding miners until your heart's content.
The plan is to gradually increase the price as new features are added to the game. I think it's only fair to reward those who hop on early.
There's also going to be a limited edition skin for those who play the game early. More details on that to come.
Thanks for reading! I'm beyond excited to play with you all in less than 2 weeks :)
Beta #2 tomorrow! Dates, and more
Hey guys, tomorrow we will hold the final beta before the game hits Early Access later this month.
Tomorrow Feb 4th, the servers will be open: 10am - 4pm (EST).
Any keys from the first beta will still work! (So if the game is still in your library, you will just need to download the update and you'll be good to go.)
A limited amount of new beta keys will be sent to email subscribers in the next few hours.
After the beta ends, all beta keys will be deactivated.
Apologies to those who couldn't get into the beta, but only 3 weeks until the game is publically available through Early Access :)
Cheers! Looking forward to seeing you in the mines this weekend!
