Dig or Die is now available!

Hello everyone, and welcome!

Dig or Die is now available for $3! I'll increase the price at each major update during the Early Access period, until it reaches it final price of $12.
This is how I see this early access: you pay only for what is already done, not for empty promises! And if you support the game now all the future update will be bonus for you.

And what is already done? Several hours of gameplay to reach the end and escape the planet, and much more time if you play on hardest difficulty or if you whish to explore more or play with the physic & water simulation...

Now let me explain my motivation to create this game. I loved playing Terraria, and for a lot of things I wished it were different: having a real objective, building massive and useful defenses, spending less time digging awfully slowly, etc.
Then I saw other Terraria-like games like Starbound, offering dozen of thousands of items, decorations, random generated bizarre monsters, but not so different in gameplay. That's fine but that was really not the direction I wished for. That's why I created Dig or Die, with this major orientation on defense building.
With this game I also wanted to create a real "sandbox" game. A game where you can play with the world itself.
That's why I created this simulation of physics and water. Like when you build a sand-castle or dams at the beach... all the pleasure is to build things and see them destroyed by the water, then rebuild again stronger, try different things. That is what I tried to do in this game.

Thank you for your time, and I wish you a very good time playing the game!
