Share your opinion on a potential update to Goldmine

[Alaric von Teplitz]

Hello, everyone!

You know how right now Goldmine is something like 200MB? Well, I was able to get it down to 15MB. There is a catch, however. Because this involves compiling a new executable (the old version used Electron's executable) Windows will initially mark it as suspicious. I could avoid that by paying $350 per year for a certificate to sign the executable, but I'd be much happier donating that money.

So... would you prefer to put up with a Windows warning the first time you launch Goldmine, or would you rather download additional 185MBs instead?

So save files are lost?

[Alaric von Teplitz]

Yes. Sorry about that. I thought that making the game smaller would be worth it. The achievements, however, are NOT lost.

Why was this game banned by Valve today?

[Alaric von Teplitz]

Because the communist Chinese got mad and kept reporting it. Don't worry, if Valve won't restore it I'll publish it on itch.io for free. :)

I hope you can restore it on Steam, but thank you anyway for this clarification.

I'm actually rewriting it from scratch, adding new features, rebalancing, etc. If you want to playtest and help with pacing and features by providing feedback - let me know.

It would be my pleasure.
