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

I’ve mostly completed wiring. Wiring will transport 3 different types of signals: On, Off, Toggle. There are 3 different types of trigger tiles as well. When going through a dungeon, every doorway has an on trigger tile. When you touch it a charge will be sent to any connected wire. Those charges will trigger whatever …read in detail

Lately I’ve been working on a wiring system for the dungeon. I’ll give more details when it’s closer to being completed but it’s basically a way to turn on lights, spawn enemies, and trigger traps. The next few updates I’d like to address some of the AI adjustments. I am finally finished with the AI …read in detail

There are 3 pieces of bad news I need to deliver today. 1. Multiplayer is no longer a planned feature of 1.02. My brother will no longer be working on the game. 3. I took about 6 months off (July-January 1st) MULTIPLAYER WILL NO LONGER BE A PLANNED FEATURE FOR 1.0The biggest piece of bad …read in detail

Today I’ll introduce to you a new mob for 0.3. It’s the creature you’ll most likely run into first in the dungeon. It’s AI is very basic.

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

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

The worm AI has taken a lot longer than expected because I took a bunch of time to work on particle effects. Here’s the worm AI in a nutshell.1. He will randomly move around for a random period of time (unless you get close enough to him, then he’ll charge you). 2. Once that period …read in detail

The cow AI in most ways is similar to the bee. The cow will randomly walk around and try to find tall grass to eat. Once it finds the grass it will eat it and the tall grass will be gone. If there’s a lot of cows there will likely not be a lot of …read in detail

I’m changing the AI for all mobs in the game for the dungeon update. I want to make sure that each mob has it’s own unique behavior. I’m starting that process with the Bee.Currently in Tile Miner the Bee is most likely the first “enemy” you’ll encounter in the game. As more releases come out …read in detail
