- New Flags, New Theme and French Localization! ๐ - 22 July 2025
โ๏ธ What's New! ๐ ๐จ Two Shiny New Special Flags! Alarm Flag - Beep beep! This one's loud and proud! (10,000 gold) Warning Barrier Flag - Might be the coolest looking flag I've made (10,000 gold) All flags of this type will be expensive but I think their variety makes it worth it! ๐ New Theme: Synthwave! Neon colors and 80s vibes! ๐ซ๐ท French Support! The whole game's now in French too! Fair warning: I used AI to translate most of it and tried to clean it up, but if you speak French and spot anything weird, just let me know!
- Zen & Japanese Update - 1 July 2025
๐ธ New Features Japanese Localization Support The game is now fully available in Japanese! New Zen Garden inspired Theme โจ Polish & Improvements General Refinements Various small tweaks and quality-of-life improvements throughout the game Smoother overall experience with improved stability ๐ฎ What's Next? More themes and customization options are always in the works, as well as a bigger update with a new system/feature entirely. The localization system opens up possibilities for reaching more players worldwide!
- More Major/Minor Fixes - 23 June 2025
๐ Bug Fixes I've tackled a few pesky issues that have been reported: Achievements & Themes Fixed Fixed some achievements not unlocking properly when they should have Finally sorted out the theme saving/loading issues! Turns out I made themes work differently than flags for absolutely no reason, and flags were working perfectly fine. Themes now use the same simple logic and shouldn't get lost anymore. Game Hanging on Quit Fixed an issue where the game could "hang" when quitting if you clicked away from the window. The game now runs in the background properly, so this should be resolved. โจ New Features Cheat Codes (because sometimes you just want to have fun) These are completely optional for those who want to mess around: Type "ALLTHEMES" during normal gameplay to unlock all themes for free Type "MONEY" to get 25k currency Both work when typed quickly (within 2 seconds) and only duringโฆ
- Various Fixes and Tweaks - 20 June 2025
I've been busy trying to figure out the cause behind various issues with unlocks/purchases being reset and I think I might have fixed it, despite not being able to recreate it myself. I've also fixed various achievements and challenges that were not unlocking or being tracked properly. Chording should also work properly now. I play tested this update quite extensively and unlocked all achievements manually to test them. I have ideas for small updates in the future but I want to get the game smooth and bug free before that.
- Minor Fixes - 19 June 2025
Fixed some issues with Chording and Resolution settings, as well as the tutorial screen. Chording is now done just by left clicking, as it is in OG Minesweeper.I've changed the activation zones slightly for hotbars to try to stop them getting in the way in some situations.I'm still working on diagnosing some saving/loading issues as I'm having trouble replicating it myself. Will push a patch as soon as I identify and fix it.
- Hexcavator Update 1 - Comfy Controls - 18 June 2025
Small update with a large number of great changes! ๐ฅ More intuitive Camera controls! Camera controls have been massively improved! Use Q and E to smoothly rotate around, and WASD to pan around for easy viewing. โฐ Timer? Or no Timer? Some love the challenge of beating times, others just want to relax and dig. You can now toggle the timer off completely in the options menu! When it's hidden, your flag and tile counters scoot over to fill the space perfectly. ๐ฉ Flags That Actually Stand Out A small but meaningful change. Flagged tiles now have a subtle darkening effect so you can easily spot your marked mines. โก Chording! Left+right click on any numbered tile when you've flagged the right amount of mines around it. ๐ Better Tutorial I improved the tutorial/controls screen to make it higher quality and match the rest of the game! ๐ฅ๏ธ I added in more resolution options to try to help suppโฆ
