What once started as a side-project by a single developer, escalated to a Steam charts topping viral hit. A Game About Digging a Hole reached the top 30 on the Steam charts, selling over a million copies.
A Game About Digging A Hole Together retains the simple, addictive gameplay and gives players exactly what they want: MORE. More depth, more terrain, more tools, more secrets, more to discover, and above all, more players (though you’ll have to bring your own friends)! The core mechanics are easy to (re)learn: dig, sell, upgrade, and keep digging - but they’ve all been improved from the ground up. Over the past few months, Mipumi Games has rebuilt the game’s entire code, making it run more smoothly and reliably. The experienced Vienna-based studio has previously worked on titles such as Alan Wake 2, CONTROL, HITMAN, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
This is A Game About Digging A Hole Together:
- A Small Project with a Huge Impact – The original was created in just a few weeks by a single developer and is now being further developed by him and the entire team. The developer, Mipumi Games, has extensive experience in both indie and AAA gaming, which now underpins the game's development.
- Born from Solarpunk technology – The digging and voxel technologies originated in an early version of the hit game Solarpunk and have now found their true calling in this title.
- Learned from the community – Following the surprise success, reviews, comments, and requests from the community were carefully studied and analyzed. Naturally, the feedback was directly incorporated into the new title!
- Teamwork makes the dreamwork – Ever since we were kids on the playground, digging together has been a fantastic experience—and now we're taking it deeper, online and across platforms.
