Over the past month we’ve had a ton of fun adding a brand new dungeon. This new dungeon is found by defeating the first boss. He’ll drop a staircase that is capable of going deeper into the underground. Once there you can find new ores, new spells, new potions, new enemies and all sorts of …read in detail
Developer Update
0.4 Coming Soon!
I just wanted to chime in and share some of the things we’ve been working on in 0.4. We are calling this “the magic update”. The original plan was to add a bunch of small pieces of content we feel the game is really lacking. But then when we calculated how long it would take …read in detail

Developer Update #19 – Early Access Removal
I’ve decided it’s time to remove Tile Miner from early access. Here are the reasons why:I’m nowhere near the final release. When I released Tile Miner back in 2014 I had fully expected to release the game within a year to a year and a half. Development always takes longer than I think it will. …read in detail
Developer Update #18 – Wiring

Developer Update #14 – Slime AI
The slime AI is pretty standard. The slime will cycle between subtle bouncing and lunging randomly. It will keep doing this until it is within a certain range of the hero. Once in range the slime will begin chasing the hero. Finally, when within striking distance, the slime will charge up and then lunge quickly …read in detail
Developer Update #13 – Bat AI
Hoping to make these updates a bit more “daily”. Yesterday I completed the bat AI. To start, the bat has a new graphic where he is sleeping. He will not move unless you get closer to him. Once you’re within a certain radius, he’ll open his eyes indicating he can see you. Get a little …read in detail
