changedHello Moles,Unclear details of Early Repayment Plan We've noticed that some players have been a bit confused by how the Early Repayment Plan works, especially with regards to why they still have to make payments on Loan Shark days after using it. The TL;DR on it is that the Loan Shark will always ask for some minimum payment on scheduled days, but you can reduce this amount significantly with the Early Repayment Plan. Past this minimum, any payments you make will only reduce your total debt rather than your next payment. We're hoping to increase clarity on this! There is a UI element that's meant to let you know when you've hit the minimum, but we've noticed some bugs with this and are hoping to fix this up.
addedHello Moles,Lack of Controller Support This one will likely take longer to address because it's a fairly involved endeavor, but we've absolutely heard everyone asking for it and would like to add it at some point in the future.

Hello Moles,

Firstly, all of us here at Merge Conflict Studio want to say THANK YOU so much for your overwhelming support of Gemporium! It's been better than we ever imagined and means the world to us. YOU'RE THE BEST! <3

Secondly, we've greatly appreciated your feedback on the game and are looking into ways to address some of the most common points that have been brought up. Some of these include:

  • Loan Shark visits being overwhelming

    We want to find a way to help players who feel overwhelmed by the Loan Shark's visits feel more equipped to keep up with them while not sacrificing the intended structure and experience of the game. If you'd like a quick tip for this just for now: try completing an Artifact collection if you haven't!

  • General Bugs

    We appreciate your bug reports and have a list of some we want to prioritize fixing first, including one with one of the Achievements.

There's more stuff on our list that we'd like to address, but we wanted to call these out specifically.

We really appreciate your patience as we work on all this! We are a small team of five and worked within a short development timeline to finish this game, but want to do our best to provide everyone with the best version of Gemporium possible.

Thanks and as always, good luck in the Mines!

The Merge Conflict Team
