Steam Awards 2025: Toward Indie Miracle 2.0

The nomination phase of the Steam Awards has begun. If you feel that A Game About Digging A Hole fits the “Sit Back and Relax” category, you can cast your vote directly at the top.

Many of you have described digging as almost meditative - a game that slows everything down and simply feels good. That’s why we believe this category is the right one for our little project.

Indie Miracle 1.0 – and maybe now 2.0

Reaching over 1.2 million players was a real indie miracle for us. A spontaneous idea turned into a journey we never expected.

Now the question is: Can we achieve an Indie Miracle 2.0 together, a strong placement in the awards, carried by the very community that brought this project this far?

Two simple things help us a lot

1. Your vote in the “Sit Back and Relax” category

2. A like on this News post, so more players get to see it

Both actions directly help keep the game visible during the nomination phase.

And yes - we know what many of you would ask

It’s no secret that some of you would like to talk about more content or even a sequel. That means a lot to us, and we read everything you write.

But today is not the right moment for that.

December is already packed: On December 7, A Game About Digging A Hole will launch on consoles - a big milestone for us. And on that same day, we have a small additional surprise prepared.

Nothing big, no sequel but something nice that fits well with this unusual journey.

We’ll talk about it in more detail soon, just not today.
