Fantastic news from our Wacky Western Research and Development Department:

We have released the latest version of GOLDRUSHERS!

Brand new technology has arrived in the Sierra Nevada:

Magnet Upgrade

Another amazing upgrade from our Wacky Western Research and Development Department can now be found in the Sierra Nevada. When you collect this upgrade, all metallic objects will love you! No need to worry about carrying stuff in a bag, you’re like the Pied Piper of resources now!

The Lucky Pony Slot Machine

Now all Goldrushers have a chance to hit the jackpot with this fancy piece of Wild West Tech! Throwing resources at the slot machine is one of the fastest way to get rich. But watch out for prize poachers, your prize is not secure until you’ve collected it.

Map Updates:

There have been many level design tweaks to help incorporate the Lucky Pony Slot Machine and clarify some hidden areas (look for the Tiny Cave!)
Upgrades will now be randomly assigned
Some set resources in the first area have changed

Bug Fixes:

Bug fixes have been made to stop crashes from occurring when players win the game
Fixes have been made to the resource collection mechanics of the game that could cause unexpected behavior in specific instances
Fixes have been made that would cause the game to crash due to internet connection errors

Thank you all for becoming GOLDRUSHERS

If you haven’t heard yet, we have officially been Greenlit on Steam! We are planning for a release later this year so check back for more updates. Let us know what you think about the new features and please continue sharing your awesome gameplay videos with us.

Working on this pandemic game since 6 months - play as birds and evolve! 🐣

Grounded Birds is lighthearted, easy to pick up but also pretty dark. It's about birds that are literally grounded ( can't fly anymore ) and need to find a way to survive. 🐤🐦

Experience spheres 📘

Can you spot the blue spheres? They give you experience points that will let you grow your character! Melee combat = more risk but higher reward!

@luif12

Goldrushers has been greenlit!

@luif3

A first look at a new game prototype! Over the last days: multiplayer, building stuff, and cheetahs chasing you. Sticking to core mechanics first is tough, had to stop myself from going all-in on art and sound too soon!

@luif4

Materials ⚙️

After several playtests it has become clear that there are a lot of items cluttered on the ground - you can now dismantle them and use the materials as a resource! Let's keep our town tidy 🧹

@luif1

This week, we added support for controllers (Xbox, PS4)! 🎮

The tooltips update automatically to let you know how to use the controls. Feels like the controls fit the game very well, and are excellent for platforming. 🦘

@luif77

Added a dismantling option for unused swords or armor - can you ever have too many particles? 🐣 🎆

@luif2

Building a level:

This week, we blocked out a level, tested it and then filled it with more beautiful environmental assets!

Players can really learn the core of the game here and prepare for battle. This is iteration 2/3 until it is added to the game!

@luif7

Feathers 🪶🪶

The characters now finally have reached the fluffyness they were intended to have!

@luif13

The materials you get from dismantling weapons or boxes can be used to repair old buildings, such as the mill!

The mice from the mill will distract any hungry critters nearby 🐭🍞
