So, this game is a clone of Motherload, mixed with a bit of minecraft. The minecraft aspect comes from the fact that it's a bit blockier than Motherload and I ripped the tile textures out of a 32x32 texture pack

Because in Motherload, you dig with a drill machine, and you use it to mine ores, the name is DrillMiner, because I'm just that creative
(name subject to change )

Most recent preview:

Thats an interesting game you got there!

That looks awesome! I used to play Motherload all the time

Edit: will this be open-source?

Cool, a new nspire game! And it's looking good so far.
At first I thought it was a computer project

Huzzah! I made sprites and they actually look good!

Great to see another nspire game being developed. If you need any beta testing, I'm ready Love the fact that you can drill upwards too

Anyone can test; doesn't really matter to me
I put a link to my site in the first post which contains the files (not much point of it yet ) and source code (but outdated and messy).

I might also fuse Motherload and Minecraft together a bit more than I planned. I might have some Minecraft elements such as smelting/crafting instead of buying items in the store.

Triple post, but I have a huge amount of stuff to post
I've decided to change the texture pack, which would make it easier for me too use some more ores, since the old one only had 5.
So I've changed the texturepack to Faithful 32x32 and I also made my own platinum ore. Here's how it looks


And since the textures are stored externally, anybody could use modify the terrain file to make a custom texture pack.
The terrain file for the game looks like this so far:


I've also decided to do crafting instead of buying the upgrades
I don't know how fuel will work... maybe some kind of coal conversion or something
So here are the tentative crafting designs
Textures were taken from some site that had a bunch of Motherload pics
I'll probably change them since the values are kinda random

Ores:
Exchange rate:
Coal = --
Iron = 2 Coal (1:2)
Gold = 1.66 Iron (3:5)
Platinum =  2.5 Gold (2:5)
Sapphire = 3 Platinum (1:3)
Emerald = 2.66 Sapphire (3:
Ruby = 2.5 Emerald (2:5)
Diamond = 4 Ruby (1:4)
