Playtest reminder ⛏️

Yes - the playtest is still live / coming right up (depending on when you read this 😄). If you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s a great time.

Publisher news: We’re now working with Assemble 🤝

Big news for us: Glintseeker Island is now partnering with Assemble as our publisher.

  • New hammers (8 hammers)

  • Hammer and Backpack upgrade system

  • Smelt ingots and open geodes

  • Village projects to repair (6 buildings)

If you played a previous Glintseeker Island Playtest:

If you already received a code or had access in a previous playtest, you don’t need a new one - the Playtest version in your library will update automatically.

Old save files won’t work properly with the new version, so please delete your previous saves before starting. (The new content is best experienced from a fresh save anyway!)

See you in the Mines! ⛏️
