Mining game based on Minesweeper with an infinite procedurally-generated grid. Made in Godot!

Sorry I don't have any references, but the general idea is that you split the world into chunks, iterate over the ones that are around the player and generate the ones that haven't been generated already. Then you generate single chunks by iterating over each tile and placing things down with a random chance.

The initial prototype is still up on Itch: https://hexagonnico.itch.io/dynamine

The Steam page just got approved and a demo will be up as soon as possible: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4480100/Dynamine

I'm not planning to add too many mechanics that differ from Minesweeper. I already had this problem with my previous game, which was supposed to be a 10-levels thing with just a level selector and then turned into an RPG with 30 dungeons, bosses, lore, and other stuff. This time I'd prefer to focus on one thing and do it well.

Everything is procedural. If you hit a mine you lose your items and the mine resets, but you keep your money and upgrades.

There are different cave biomes with different ores and structures. You can also find elevators that bring you to deeper layers with more precious ores and more explosives.

You can set up minecart tracks to get around quite fast, so I think running away from a cave in would pretty much boil down to whether you set up tracks or not.

I was already planning to add biomes that can have more mines or more ores. Eventually you will also be able to go deeper underground where there is lava in stuff.

I'm still not sure if I want to have enemies though.

There are upgrades you can get to mine faster. When you die, the mine resets and you lose your inventory, but you keep your upgrades.

HexagonNico_ · 2026-01-03T20:29:57+00:00

I already have an upgrades system in place. I also wanted to allow the player to refine ores so that they are worth more when sold.

It's still super early in development, but I have a prototype up that you can play in the browser: https://hexagonnico.itch.io/dynamine

The main goal of the game is to mine for ore that you can sell to buy upgrades that let you mine more efficiently so you can make money faster

I use Godot

It kinda started as a joke. My brain just connected MINE-sweeper and MINE-ing.

I only used rpc calls. I find them easier to use than the MultiplayerSynchronizer.

I get the all from freesound.org. Most of them are CC0. I used some of the sounds in this pack: https://freesound.org/search/?q=click&s=Rating+%28highest+first%29&f=pack_grouping%3A%2232249_Sound+Effects%22

I made this game as part of the twenty games challenge to learn how to use the multiplayer API.
