The idea for A Game About Digging a Hole was conceived during an early stage of Solarpunk’s development when the artists were testing voxel-based islands and the basics for terraforming and digging. Although too complex for such a small team, the core mechanics were already functional. As a big fan of the game Motherload, one artist had the idea of combining digging mechanics with randomly spawning ores and shovel upgrade options. This led to the quick development of a 3D digging minigame, built on a proven concept without requiring lengthy prototypes or testing phases. Developed during the artist’s vacation and saving development time by using licensed assets, A Game About Digging A Hole was developed in just 14 days.
More exciting news on the launch of A Game About Digging A Hole will be announced soon, so stay tuned for all the latest info! A Game About Digging A Hole will be launching for PC via Steam in 2025, for the price of a takeaway coffee (£3.99GBP / €4.99EUR / $4.99USD), but the fun will last a lot longer! Fans can add the game to their Wishlist now.
