• 📢 Progress Update | GMS: Definitive Edition - 17 September 2026

  Hello Everyone, 👋Development of Gold Mining Simulator: Definitive Edition is moving forward as planned, and we’ve got another look at the excavator and how it interacts with the terrain.One of the things we’re working on is making the ground feel more alive when you’re working with heavy machinery. As the excavator moves and digs, the soil shifts around it, creating a more natural and dynamic mining experience.We also decided to test something that players have been reporting quite often: what happens if you dig underneath the excavator?Could we actually tip it over or even send it flying? We tried digging underneath it and pushing the terrain around in every way we could think of, but so far, the excavator is staying firmly on the ground 😅Check out the video to see the excavator in action and watch the terrain react as we put it through its paces There’s still plenty of work ahead, b…

• Answering questions! – Why, What & How! - GMS: Definitive Edition - 20 August 2026

  We've been reading your comments and discussions, and we understand the frustration and confusion regarding why Gold Mining Simulator: Definitive Edition is a separate release rather than a standard update.
