Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
Major v1.1 update will soon be ready!


Today I uploaded on the beta branch a version with two of the major v1.1 features:
- New arts and animations for all monsters and bosses! You can already see most of them in the beta version (still work in progress however)
- Tools to help players to create or customize a map: a "dev mode" param to get full invincibility, fast travel and no collision ; a param to make monsters spawn dynamically depending of the surrounding mineral backgrounds ; and various other commands and params (Here is the wiki page to explain them: https://digordie.gamepedia.com/Modding_and_Mapping ).

V1.1 will also have a lot of balance, some new items (not yet done), a minimap zoom, and various bug fixes

It will probably be the last major update of the game for some time, as after this one i'll start working on a new game.
I'll see if I can find some partnership, or hire a developer to continue major updates for Dig or Die. If not, I'll work only on bug fixes and minor improvements for Dig or Die, and focus mostly on my next game (which will not be Dig or Die 2, at all)

Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
This update should improve your experience in multiplayer: for late-joining clients (they will get same weapons & devices than host) and for better managing bad behaviors (easy kick & ban, and if banned host get its inventory). It should also improve low-framerate experience with the volcano lava cycle & eruption and jumping down platforms bug fix.
Also, Base Defense mode is now really (really) challenging in late game.

I'll now start working on the v1.1 update. More news about it soon.

And remember about the Eiffel Tower Building Contest, it ends tomorrow!



v1.03 (Build 814)

General
- Joining clients (first-time) automatically get the host devices & weapons (param m_clientGetHostItems)
- Banned players give all their item to host (param m_banGiveLootToHost)
- Kick & Ban buttons in the players list window, for host. Add a "players" button to open this window (Tab key shortcut).
- Volcano: skip a lava up/down cycle if lava didn't have time to go away when cycle should start. An "*" is then written next to the lava pressure in the F4 debug.
- Dynamic balance of the volcan eruption "lava volume", in order to avoid mass lava flooding & ocean drying, and lava not coming out:
* reduce the eruption duration (600s=>500s)
* extends its duration dynamically if lava didn't rich the top (up to 800s). Add two params for that.
* modification of the layout of the bottom-side chimneys, to make the lava coming out slowlier (on new worlds)
* modification of the layout of the top-side chimneys, to make less rain entering the boss lair (on new worlds)

Bug Fix
- Fix bug with teleporter UI (when removing an active teleporter)
- Fix "load" button in main menu locked in some situation (if no multi (or custom) save, and quitting a multi (or custom) game)
- Fixed bug that prevented to jump down from a platform when very low framerate

Balance
- Base Defense mode: after 33 nights, when there is no more monsters to spawn, monsters gain 10% of HP & damage every night
- particle turrets projectiles don't go through (that was never intended)
- Balance: Flame-thrower turrets more resistant (400 hp instead of 250)
- Plasma Sniper Rifle damage increased from 35 to 45
- ZF-0 gun unlocks target if fired with shift key pressed

Minor
- Update items description and help (no need for devices to be placed in the items bar)
- Add params m_speedSimu and m_speedSimuWorld to modify the simulation & world (liquids) simulation speeds
- Improve/fix fps debug: show framerate, then the ratio between the game time speed and the real time speed, and then the ratio between the world simulation (especially liquids) time speed and the game time speed. Add a param to lock the game/world ratio (if low framerate, the framerate will be even lower, but liquids will run at the normal speed compared to the player movement and day duration).
Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
Here is a little building contest for fun! You have one month, until September 26th, to build the highest possible tower.
Winner will get 3 keys of the game as a little reward, 2nd and 3rd one key, that you can offer to family or friends


Really bad example of a tower


Here are the rules:
- Use this map: http://gaddygames.com/games/DigOrDie/divers/Eiffel%20Tower%20Contest%20v4.save download it and copy it into your Dig or Die save directory, which should be something like that: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Dig or Die\<steam_id>\Saves\Solo ).
- Use only the blocks you have in your inventory. Of course don't change the params or anything like that
- You can anchor your tower only to the 4 rock anchor poitns on each side, as you can see in my example above. Do not anchor on the 10/20/etc. marks in the sky!
- Post the screenshot of the top of your tower in the forum ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/315460/discussions/0/1734336452590368352/ ), and at the end the best one will send me their map so I can check it works well. I'll then put them public for everyone to download them and admire the Master Builder :-)

*** EDIT on 2018/08/27 ***
As you might have seen, I've modified the contest (the file changed): the walls to use are now low-tech walls (the concrete ones, iron support and wood walls).
The previous hi-tech contest is still valid, winners will get keys if they wish ; but the results were already far, far too high (130+), that wasn't very fun to build anymore. That's why I changed to low-tech walls, it will give much smaller towers but more fun and easy to build.
I'm very sorry for this change but I don't think it's really fun to play with the very special game physics that happens when you build at those huge heights


Good luck!

Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
This update is now live! Most interesting change is the hydroelectric generators: their power limit has been increased from 5kw to 50kw! If you can manage to get enough water pressure, you'll be able to produce much more electricity than before with one single generator.
Another thing is the Sun Lamp, which has a far greater range than before. So don't hesitate to use it to create large plants farms!


Here you an do a generator producing 14kW

I also did a lot of balancing. Most important is the weapon heating: your firerate will drop more now if you heat your weapons too much ; by firing constantly. The heating feedback on cursor is more visible now. This way player should be able to better understand the system and actually improve their DPS
Also some changes on Metal Detector (range x2 !), zf-0 (use it!), flamethrower (burn them all!), plasma gatling, and on various recipes.

If you like the building physics, be sure to check the next announcement (probably tomorrow) as I'll launch a little Eiffel Tower building contest :-)


v1.02 (Build 803)

General
- Hydroelectricity Generators: generate up to 50kW (with very high pressure of water). Generators start working with a lower delta pressure (2)
- Sun lamps: far, far greater range (1 lamp every 22 horizontal spaces if lamp is at a height of 5)
- Add traditional Chinese localization

Bug Fix
- Fixed respawn position bug
- Fixed pumps & generator, they don't transform lava into water anymore
- Fix non-go-through bullets that were hitting several monsters (if hit in same frame)
- Fixed passive items that were all toggle on at player respawn
- Fixed cheat on multiplayer with clients recipes
- Fixed chat that opened when pressing enter from pause menus

Balance
- Increase max heating of weapons from 1.2 to 2 (less efficient if player never let them cool off). Heating more visible in cursor (1 circle from 0 to 1 heating, 2nd circle from 1 to 2)
- Change Heating for weapons (no more maximum, but prevent shooting if heating > 1.6). Heating cursor reskin
- Metal detector: detector at a distance of 100 instead of 50
- ZF0: don't hit other monsters when a target is locked (don't change target)
- Plasma Machine Gun cooldown reduced from 1.2 to 1.1, priced reduced (3 => 2 light gems)
- Increase flame damages to monsters (10 instead of 6, every 0.7s). Lava damages too (30 if little lava, 50 if a lot)
- flamethrower damage from 10 to 12
- Death Pulse Turret range area narrower
- Electrified Spiked price reduced: Radioactive Blood x20 => x10
- Lighting mine price reduced: Aluminum x3 => x2, Coal x8 => x5, Radioactive Blood x20 => x10
- Effeil Glasses cost reduced: 3 aluminum and 3 light gems => 3 iron and 2 bat sonars, and in Tier 2 instead of Tier 3 (so it can be used to build the bridge)
- Minimapper cost slightly modified: Bat Sonar x3 and Rad. Blood x10 => Bat sonar x2 and Light Gem x1

Minor
- Mineral recipes : add Iron & Gas Rock ; all plants now used in recipes
- F4 now display the framerate, and a debug value about the world (liquids) simulation speed ratio
- Coral plant a bit more visible in water
- Show game visibility (public, friends, private) in F4 debug
Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
Here is a first minor update for the game since its launch. The most useful change is the toggeable items now active from inventory - it should give you a lot more useful space in the items bar. The vegetation process update should also help the plants to grow back easier and faster, and avoid getting the world slowly becoming all dead in the areas that were digged a lot.
Finally, a few weapons balance change should make the ZF-0 (and the Sniper & Storm guns) much more efficient.

v1.01 (Build 793)

General
- Toggeable items (armor, light, etc.) are active from the inventory, no need to put them in the items bar anymore. Green/red indicator visible in inventory ; right-click to activate/deactivate them.
- Add Italian localization
- Vegetation more dynamic and alive: dirt tiles infiltrated with water keep some of it. Plants drink less water. Dead plants & trees fall faster (so new plants can grow)
- Improve checks for missing minerals at map loading (some minerals are added if they are missing from the map, or have been all mined).

Bug Fix
- Fix random generator number in multiplayer (each player will get regular monster drops, instead of a regular average of drops for all players)
- Fix Delay Gate
- Fix Rare Metal Detector, doesn't detect metal just outside the word boundaries anymore
- Fix Storm Gun stopping making water in some situations
- Fix the post "Lucky Day" drop rate
- Fix crash if we load a solo game in multiplayer (by moving the save file - now ok)
- Fix freeze as multiplayer client if joining a game when the rocket countdown is alredy on ; or if client is far away from the rocket when built
- Fix water/lava huge pressure sync in multiplayer (when params are changed)
- Fix a water sync issue (especially when host remove water by placing/removing a wall)

Balance
- Sniper Rifle does more damage (30=>35), ZF-0 heats much more slowly (0.02=>0.01), Storm Gun does more damage (55=>65)

Minor
- 5 auto-save files in loop instead of 3
- Steam notification moved in the bottom left corner
- Update Fr, En localization

Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
The game was released yesterday, and it got an amazing reception! Even better than the Early Access launch, all records have been broken :-)

I'll try to be worthy of your trust, and to offer you someday something even better, a completely new experience - and that will be entirely thanks to all of you.

About the future of Dig or Die, as I explained in the forum I don't know yet how things will go. There is so much to add (modding !), and I have also this new game concept I really want to develop. So best solutions could be to hire someone to continue update the game (I work alone for now), or find a partnership with another studio... That might be also a way to port the game to console. I'll keep you updated!

But first step is to fix the game issues, so here is a first little hot fix about issues some people got with the the volcano eruption from the Hazardous Events. I've removed it temporary from those events, until I fix it properly - but the normal eruption you discover later in the game is still there!

I'll update this post if/when I have to do other hot fixes.

So of course don't hesitate to give feedback on the forum if you see any problem!


v1.0 (Build 785) HOT FIX
- Temporary remove the Volcano Eruption from the Hazardous Events in Solo/Multiplayer game modes
- Deactivate the volcano eruption (triggered by basalt destruction) in Base Defense mode that was destroying everything
- Reduce the Meteor Shower damages (but still high enough!)
Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
After 3 years of Early Access, the game is finally complete!

To all of the Early Access supporters, I'll never thank you enough. You made my Indie Dev dream come true ; thanks to you I was able to work full time on the game for those last years and to develop much more content than initially planned.
To all future players, I hope you'll enjoy the game and what I tried to do with it.

Too much emotion for me, so let's go straight to the v1.0 feature list:

v1.0 (Build 784):

3 new game modes:

- Under the Sea: Players start in a cave located under a huge ocean of 300 blocks high, with a huge water pressure. Ideal for exploring a new world full of surprises, and / or having fun with the water physics engine.
- Sky World: A world composed of hundreds of flying islands, procedurally generated, offering high replayability value.
- Base Defense: This is a tower defense inspired mode. No exploration here, players only build a base and defend it against the successive waves of attacks.

Creative Mode option with:

- All items free, cheated weapons and armour (those ones were already in "post game" mode).
- Dimensional Brush: to modify terrain & minerals as you wish (press shift for bigger area)
- Water / Lava / Sponge Pistol: to generate (or absorb) water and lava. Be careful! (press shift for more!)
- Monster Gun: spawn monsters and boss at will (press shift for them being aggressive)
- Plan Gun (that I like to call "Totoro gun"): anything that could grow in certain conditions will grow instantly (press shift for bigger area)

Hazardous Events option, to trigger random events about 1 time a day:

- Heat Wave: no rain, fast evaporation, some plants spontaneously burn.
- Rain Flood: massive rain flood.
- Meteor Shower: meteor falling from the sky and destroying everything... have fun!
- Volcano eruptions.
- Earthquake: increases all structures' weight.
- Restless Night: more monsters (occurs only at night).
- Quiet Night: no monsters (occurs only at night).
- Gravitational Waves: a very rare stars alignment lowers the gravity (jump higher, buildings stronger).
- Acidic Water: water and rain turns into acid (green color, and damage to players).
- Drowsiness: all monsters move slowly.
- Mating Season: monsters aggro distance is increased a lot, and they move fast.
- Lucky Day: monsters drop every time. Crital hit for players at every shot.
- Sun Eclipse: instant night during the day (with monsters attacks).
- Mist: lights range are reduced, day darker, screen is grayed out.
- Electromagnetic disturbances: electric system shuts down.
- Sharkstorm: combination of Flood + raining sharks :-)

Soundtrack: 9 new tracks

______________________________________________________________

All previous saved games (since v0.3) are compatible. You can also activate Hazardous Events on a previous save by using console commands.

If you wish to discuss about those new features, best is to use this forum topic:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/315460/discussions/0/1727575977597731961/

In addition to those major v1.0 features, there is also the v0.99 pre-release I published about a month ago in order to be tested as best as possible before release.

v0.99 most important features:
- New music dynamic system: musics change depending of the "tension" of the current situation and other various specificities
- New console commands: /event (to launch an event), /find (to find an item on the map), /music
- Picked up items displayed in console. Bosses loot now auto-picked.
- Players now respawn near the autobuilder (and never inside a block)
- Improved pathfinding for monsters and drone
- Heavy changes in plants life conditions
- Various balance on drone, shield, crush damage, water evaporation, etc.
- Various bug fixes and minor improvements

The full change log is in this announcement: https://steamcommunity.com/games/315460/announcements/detail/1653264230330850584

Jun 20, 2018
Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
Here is the new trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmYM2GWENAU
The game will be released on July 10, and as said previously it will contain 3 new custom modes, the hazardous environment option, new musics and a creative mode.

You might have noticed some updates for the game: that's because until release I'll regularly publish updates so the main and beta versions are as close as possible, to avoid unexpected launch bugs.

I've updated the change log at the end of the previous announcement here : https://steamcommunity.com/games/315460/announcements/detail/1653264230330850584
And I've still a few things to add before release.

If you wish to play the v1.0 feature already, simply activate the beta branch
May 25, 2018
Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
(EDIT: Until the release on July 10th, I'll release several minor updates so they are tested as best as possible before release. I'll update the change log below)

This update is a "pre-release" one, with a lot of minor/medium changes (see the list below), but without the main new content that will stay locked until the v1.0 release on July 10th:
- Custom modes (Under the Sea, Sky World, Base Defense)
- Hazardous Environments option
- 9 new musics
- Creative mode option, with a new brush tool
If you wish to play those features right now, simply activate the public "beta" branch!

And as I said, the price is now set to $/€ 12. So if you wish to buy the game, it may be better to wait for the -10% launch sale launch sale (but don't forget, ok? :D).

Here are the changes. All v0.35 saves games are compatible.
The main objective of this update is to help me fix as many problems as possile before the final release, so please if you see any bugs, please tell me in the forum!



v0.99 (Build 707)

General

- Musics: new dynamic system, that changes musics dynamically depending of the "tension" of the current situation, avoids playing the same musics too often, and takes some other music various specificities (cf. musics.lua file) (this feature is more useful with the additional v1.0 musics)
- Display the collected items (pikcups) names and possed number in the console

Dig or Die - Gaddy Games
Finally - and after far too much time in Early Access - the game will be released on July 10th!
It has been a long journey, but thanks to your incredible support it was a dream come true for me as an indie developer.

In order to test the game as best as possible before the release date, I'll push next week a v0.99 version. This version will be the same as the one currently in the beta branch, but without the big new v1.0 content (3 new game modes, hazardous environment option, and new musics) that I'll keep for the official release date.
But it will have all the little improvements and bug fixes done since the v0.35 (and there are a lot!), and technically it will be the same code as the beta, which will help me a lot to fix any big issue before the release, and do the remaining improvements to the game.

As planned since the v0.06, the final price will be increased to $12 (now $10).
But in order to be able to create a launch sale of -10% (as Steam requires at least one month between a price increase and a sale), I'll set this final price before the release, when I release this v0.99 next week. This will also help me to avoid confusion while communicating about the release, as the final price will be already set.

In short: around May 24th, the price will be increased to $12.

So, if you think about buying the game, I suggest you to either buy it now, or to wait for the v1.0 release on July 10th to enjoy the launch sale.

Of course during that time you'll still be able to play the full v1.0 current content by activating the public beta branch.
