Seasons or Water?
Hey everyone!My third devlog on YouTube is out right now, and it covers all of the multiplayer features that were released a while ago, as well as some additional features planned for the future. I was planning on making the video much sooner, but I have been facing some serious delays. Fortunately, I am now able to give 4D Miner my full attention.Here is a link to the current Patreon-exclusive build of the game: https://mashpoe.itch.io/4d-miner-demo/patreon-accessNow that the devlog is out, I want to implement some major changes to the game. S...

Compass Design Poll
Hello HyperSupporters!4D Miner devlogs haven't been coming as quickly lately because I'm currently implementing multiplayer, which requires a massive overhaul.As I was fixing some bugs, I accidentally messed up some of the compass code and changed the way it looked. I thought the messed up compass actually looked cooler than the original design, so I decided now would be a good time do do a poll since I don't really have anything tangible to show off right now.Here are the choices:1. Light compass hyperplane, which is the original d...

Play All of the Latest Features in the New 4D Miner Snapshot Build!
Hello HyperSupporters!In my previous post, I mentioned how I sometimes feel bummed out when I don't have enough "flashy content" to show off to all of you.I recently realized a lot of that is my fault.On one hand, I do have to spend a lot of time working on technical stuff (and a lot of that has really payed off), but on the other hand, I am also frequently adding cool stuff to the game as I go, but I don't make it accessible as early as I probably should.I seem to have it in my head that I can't release any new updates to t...
New Passive Creature Sneak Peek + Other Announcements!
Hello 4D Supporters and 4D HyperSupporters!In the poll I created a while back, the 4D HyperSupporters chose lighting improvements over the addition of a new passive creature and controller support.After I created that poll, I made sure to let everyone know that the losing options would still eventually be added to the game, and since so many of you wanted me to add a passive creature, that's one of the many things that will be featured in the next update!I don't have an exact release date for the next update to 4D Miner, but I can tell ...

4D Miner Progress Update + New Concept Art
Hello everyone!The next update to 4D Miner, which will be released on itch.io, is coming along a bit more slowly than I was expecting. Don't be worried though, it's still coming along nicely!In my previous post, I showed off 4D Miner's new lighting system, but unfortunately, it made the game run much slower. The problem with making a 4D game is that there is so much more data to process, which means introducing new features like 4D lighting can make everything much slower.In order to fix this, I needed to make some optimizations, wh...
New Lighting Preview and Early Access Updates
Hello 4D Supporters and 4D HyperSupporters!A few days ago, I created a poll for the HyperSupporters to decide on what I would add to 4D Miner next. They had three options to choose from: a new passive creature, improved lighting, and controller support.After about three days, the HyperSupporters ended up choosing improved lighting with 96 votes. The passive creature option received a total of 66 votes, while controller support only got 7 votes.If you were among the few who voted for controller support, don't worry, it will get added eventua...
4D Miner Development Poll
Hello HyperSupporters!I am currently in the process of setting up an Early Access version of 4D Miner on Steam, which I will distribute to each of you as soon as I can. It will take several days for everything to be approved by Valve, but if all goes well, I will be able to provide you all with early updates to 4D Miner, allowing you to be the first to give feedback on any changes to the game!In the meantime, I have decided to make a poll for HyperSupporters to decide what I will add to the game next!
An Update for 4D Hypersupporters
Hello HyperSupporters!Thank you all so much for your support! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything or provided any updates until now, but rest assured that you are all my top priority!Several people have asked if there will still be a way to get the 4D Glasses and enamel pins. I am looking into the possibility of finding a way to distribute the pins and/or glasses to my Patreon supporters in some capacity. I will let you all know when I have updates on that.I am working on getting a bunch of Steam keys that I can distribute to all of you...
