ASTRALODE Dev Update #1

This thing's getting close to release ready, and you might have noted on the store page, the planned launch for ASTRALODE Freeminers is coming up quick. That May 28th release may end up getting pushed back just a smidge, maybe a week or two to allow me enough time to add more to the metagame and tighten some technical things up, but the core game is thoroughly tested, rock solid and ready to play. Have a peek at this handful of GIFs showcasing how the game's looking right now.

Copilot selection:

Mining action:

Power-up unlocks:

Rare ore collecting:

On the topic of testing, some cool folks have been kind enough to spend a bit of time with the game and I've gotten lots of valuable feedback. This has definitely improved the game's feel and fun, and now, I'm hoping to get more scores onto the main leaderboard to stress test it. If there's anyone here on Steam who's interested in getting pre-release access to make their mark on the game's leaderboard, that'd be awesome and I'd really appreciate it. ASTRALODE Freeminers is going to be totally free, so you'll just be getting pre-release access to a free game, but let me know if you're into the idea of jumping the queue and lending a hand!

So, want to help test the ASTRALODE Freeminers leaderboard? Just shoot an email to trevor@drixxelsoft.com or leave a comment here or elsewhere on the forums letting me know you're interested! :)

Cheers and all the best,
