I have never had player counts like these before, so I'm nervous to break something with an update. However there are a lot of fixes and improvements that need to see the light of day so here we go: If this version breaks the game for you, I will add a Last patch beta branch so you can still play while I fix issues with new versions.
However there are no backups for save files so if it breaks your save, I can't guarantee you will get it back. Features
*Added achievement for reaching the bottom.
*Removed footsteps when crouching (So you can sneak up on your friends).
*Added day counter on pause menu.

After 2 months of development.
Dig For Your Lives has officially launched in Early Access!
Whether you're playing solo or with friends, your goal is simple: dig deeper, gather resources, upgrade your equipment and survive wave after wave of zombies.
This is only the beginning. The current version is a prototype, and many features are still in development. Throughout Early Access, I plan to expand the game with new enemies, weapons, loot, world lore and improvements based on your feedback.
If you encounter bugs, have ideas or just want to share your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you.
Community feedback is the reason the game is free and launching in Early Access, and your suggestions will help shape the final release.
Thank you for checking out Dig For Your Lives. Happy digging, and good luck surviving!
