I have something for you guys, who are following this thread closely
A small teaser of what's to come - it is still some time in the future, but I could not help myself from sharing with you readers.
While actively mining"You find a dark figurine laying close to your mine. Do you want to examine it?"
Upon action requested by above message"Looking at the figurine, you notice it has valuable gems in the eye socket. You try to sell them in the market and even get a good price!"
It was suggested by a member (can't remember who) and I really liked the idea!
Now, I would love some ideas for what events could happen at your mine. This could be anything!
Help me shape the future of this game, by suggesting random events like the above mentioned. I am only one person and I believe you guys have a lot of potential stories that only need a place to shine
You have 100% freedom of creativity - the stories could include aliens, witches, spartans or anything!
It can also have both good and bad outcomes. It does not necessarily have to have a "happy ending"
I cannot guarantee that I accept all stories though, but will definetely enjoy reading your suggestions.
