As the player mines, they extract powerful minerals from the Earth and transport them up to their Lab via a custom-built rig system. As the minerals reach the Lab, they are refined into malleable elements. Elements are then used by the player to purchase more rig pieces, upgrades, and items. Along the way, the player will discover rare fossils, encounter ferocious moles, and reach the center of the Earth!Kirk Barnett - Project Manager (User Interface, Sound Design, Art Design)Andrew Colean - Producer (Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Effects, DamageBrandon Stenen - Technical Director (Engine Architecture, Level Editor, Physics)Derek Opitz - Designer (Mineral Economy, Player Respawn, Game Design)
