iDigging Leaves Early Access After 2 Months

After two months of active development and valuable player feedback, iDigging has officially left Early Access! During this time, the project has evolved significantly, receiving numerous improvements, optimizations, and becoming much more stable. The game now has a solid foundation — core mechanics, interface, and base content are polished and ready for a full release.

Exiting Early Access isn’t the end, but the beginning of a new chapter. iDigging will continue to receive updates: future plans include content expansions and further gameplay improvements. I’d like to thank everyone who supported the game during Early Access and invite new players to join the digging adventure.
