Current Stage

I'm currently working on finishing demo. In demo I want to implement all core features and gameplay loop, once finished I will publish it on steam for you to try it out. As this is my first game I expect there might be issues when player will try it on many different computer setups. So please bear with me.

Mining with mouse

This feature will allow player to mine current material by clicking it with mouse. By clicking it, material particles will be thrown and once they collide it will spawn simulated material.

Moving sand with mouse

This feature will allow player to move mined material from pile by drag and dropping it, goal is to move it on top of export truck and load it by dropping.

Loading to export

This feature will allow player to load materials to export truck by dropping it from place above. Once truck is loaded it will drive away and sell materials, with this feature currency will also be implemented.

This feature will allow player to use currency and materials to build buildings that will allow him research upgrades and hire NPC units.

This feature will allow player to hire NPC units that will automatize mining, moving and exporting materials. With this features it will turn into idle game.

This feature will allow player save his game progress. This will be last feature of this demo version.

Final polish

In this step final implementations will be done, like proper menu, adding sounds and proper graphics. Report and feedback form will be also implemented in this step. Once this is done demo will be released on steam.
