This is Ship Miner, a twin stick 1-bit PixelArt mining game I am developing for Steam. I am working on a having a private Playtest before having the public Demo, subscribe to the Newsletter or join Discord at shipminer.arielcoppes.dev to be notified.

This is Ship Miner 🚀, a twin stick retro 1-bit pixel art mining game. Multiple people requested color palettes and I decided to experiment, here is a video. One Discord member said: "how the heck this game is able to look good in every color?" 🫶 Add to your Steam Wishlist!

Did some work to have better support for different resolutions (and wide monitors, yes) this week and I ended up adding an optional scale factor. One downside is that you can see more world than with smaller resolution but not a big deal for Ship Miner I believe.

Started to keep track of player stats for each run in Ship Miner to see how bad I am in my own game 😅 (I can easily kill that enemy but had to take the bullet for the video).

This is Ship Miner, a twin stick 1-bit PixelArt mining game I am developing mainly for Steam and Steam Deck (for now). It is a retro modern game, a tribute to the games I played as kid and what I imagined while playing. Add it to your Steam Wishlist if you like it.

In Ship Miner there are some Space Stations around asteroids where you can build drones to help with the task of mining and more. This also helps making exploration more rewarding I think.

Officially announcing my new game: GARBAGE COUNTRY. A lonely road trip through the ruins of a forgotten world. feat. vast wastelands, tower-defense battles, upgrades, mysteries, & lots of driving.

The DEMO for Cleared Hot is live!! we worked so hard for this build, PLAY IT!! and tell us what you think, we are putting a lot of effort and love to this game so I hope you enjoy the demo and add it to your STEAM WISHLIST.

After a year of doing "marketing" for Ship Miner I decided to write a blog post from my experience: arielcoppes.dev/2025/05/18/d...

🎉Time to celebrate!!🎉 🎉Ship Miner reached 2k Wishlists on Steam!! 🎉 Thank you so much!! 🙌

Maybe sometimes you could get help from other "automated" miners... at least to find bugs in the code... I suppose this "development feature" started to feel like a thing to have in the game xD

Testing some automatic players so I can stress test the game for bugs, but also could be the base for automated miners (for enemies and/or for friendly drones)

hey bsky, intro post! i'm thomas! 👋 you might know me from the Kingdom games, 🌿🚗🌿 I'm currently working on a driving exploration game titled GARBAGE COUNTRY

Just a quick reminder that Ship Miner is playable on Steam Deck (and that I have like 86hs in the game😱)

Last week I started playing a bit with generating the asteroids shapes for Ship Miner with a bit of procgen and it is super fun and rewarding.

Last time I forgot to record the video with audio so here you have it, a longer video with music + sound effects. In case you don't know, this is Ship Miner, a twin stick 1-bit retro pixel art miner game I am developing for Steam and Steam Deck.

This is Ship Miner, a 1bit pixel art twin stick miner game in space. For those interested, I wrote a blogpost with a roadmap for having a Demo in Steam here arielcoppes.dev/2025/03/29/s... where I explain the state of game and what the game needs for the demo. Hope you you like it.

This is the art style of Ship Miner, a 1-bit pixel art twin stick miner game I am developing for Steam and Steam Deck (and consoles?). Do you like it? WISHLIST IT NOW!!

“You crashed into an unknown asteroid belt. Explore this alien world, leap between asteroids and find a way to repair your spaceship.” Demo out on Itch and (soon) Steam gtibo.itch.io/wild-cosmos s.team/a/3051070 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Mining asteroids is not for everyone, only the best miners in the galaxy can do it, and even they can fail from time to time. Interested in Asteroid Mining 🚀?? Add Ship Miner to your Wishlist!!

To continue the iteration, that is how it looks right now to improve the ship's stats, it's gonna change but I am liking it. Identifying the ones I can buy with the + button there feels super useful.

Initial version of stats window to upgrade your ship. One idea, if I add different ships or something like that, is to have different max levels per stat, so the small one could get more speed... really far from that yet.. but I suppose this opens the door to that?...

Just a random Ship Miner video

I just published a recap blog post about what happened in 2024 for Pixel Core Games and Ship Miner, like winning an innovation award, and my plan for 2025. arielcoppes.dev/2025/01/12/r... Hope you like it. Btw, here is Ship Miner in case you didn't see it before.

Added some space fireworks for the video but they ended up being deadlier than I expected. Happy 2025!! 🎉

A Miner was traveling in his Ship and found a unique asteroid with the form of a Christmas Tree🎄.... He thinks It looks a bit .... unstable? and decides to leave before something happe..... AHHHHHH!!! All the Ship Miners in the galaxy wish you a🎉Merry Christmas🎉

After being part of an evaluation committee for a gov competitive grant, I wrote a blog post about my experience doing this job, and those notes might contain some value, here is my humble view on this topic: arielcoppes.dev/2024/12/22/m... 👏to all the participants!

I now have an initial press kit version for company and for game: arielcoppes.dev/presskit/ arielcoppes.dev/presskit/shi... I ended up using a static site generation presskit() from github.com/pixelnest/pr...

Felicidades a todos los que quedaron seleccionados, pero también a todos los proyectos que se presentaron, muy buen nivel de proyectos, disfruté haber sido parte del jurado y tener la oportunidad de evaluarlos y aprender de todos y cada uno de los participantes! www.acau.gub.uy/innovaportal...

Initial version of the outcome screen when you finish the game. I am targeting to have an initial playtest soon, it will be an early and simplified version of the game, lots of things are still missing but it should resemble in some way what I want for the game.
