Happy to announce that Cave Digger 2: Dig harder has been released on Steam Early Access.

Counting the pre-production phase, it's been about a year since we started working on the game. The journey has been exciting, interesting, scary, and full of surprises. Overall, the whole development period has been very different in comparison to Cave Digger 1. As our budget grew, the game and the team grew with it. All of this brought us so many new opportunities and challenges.

When we released CD1 in summer of 2018, none of us could even imagine that we'd be here doing this three years later. Thank you all for supporting us by purchasing our games, being active in the online communities and spreading the word.

Early Access launch content

Two biomes to explore

1. The Base Camp

Your base camp is set on the surface of the Valley biome. A wintery landscape with surrounding mountains, water and at night a beautiful starry sky. The underground is a natural looking rocky set of caves. It's procedurally generated so each run is a bit different! Same goes for the rest of the undergrounds.

2. The Hot Springs

When you enter the second biome, your base camp will be located in a valley containing hot springs. Definitely a warming experience after all the snow and ice in the first area. In the mines of the hot springs, you’ll find a coral biome with many new treasures and challenges.

More biomes are in the development.

5 tools & upgrades

• Pickaxe
• Sledgehammer
• Scanner
• Dynamite
• Revolver

Each upgrade will make the tool more effective for their intended or unintended purposes. Also they’ll get some cosmetic changes for bragging rights. More tools and upgrades will be added soon!

Co-op multiplayer support

You can play alone, or you can create a party of 4 people (or less) and go diggin’ together. You can directly invite your Steam friends, or you can create a room with a code and share the code with the people you want to play with.

Character customization

In the base camp’s cabin, you’ll find a mirror. Customize your in-game avatar by changing the hats, head, hair and body styles. More options will be added later, but there should be plenty now to start with!

Here’s our vague roadmap for the upcoming months!

Update 1: The Grave Digger

Update 2: Escape from Valley

Update 3: The Rock Bottom

Update 4: The Final Update

Note: The price of the game will increase later on as we keep on adding more content. At the moment we think that the price represents the content and the quality of the game. Stay tuned for updates!

Anyways… Off to the mines we go!
