Some stability improvements have also been made to achievement unlocks, with strengthened detection logic and a re-check every time the game is started. If any are still acting strangely for you, please do let me know.(Also, did I mention that our new game comes out next week?) Thank you for playing - and welcome, new players!

Hello, Pleased to announce that FACEMINER is now 50% off as part of The Earth Appreciation Festival! The festival has two recurring themes: "Nature", and "Eco-dystopian", with this one sitting firmly in the latter. We'll be donating a portion of sales to the Official Charity Partner of the sale, Cool Earth, to repent for our sins. See you in the mines.

Hello!Version 2.2.0 of FACEMINER is now live. It has some big changes under the hood, and some smaller ones on top of it.The big change under the hood:You might or might not know that FACEMINER is secretly a web app. It's all built using a framework called Vue 2. Vue 2 hit its end of life back in 2023, and I've been putting off updating it ever since. One year post-launch, it felt like now was the time to do it. Many breaking changes and bugfixes later, the game should now hopefully (hopefully!) run a little bit smoother, and maybe more importantly, be easier to maintain long into the future.

Thank you to all who suggested these.Endless Mode: — Cameras can now be purchased in bulk, to save you some clicking. Buy them in batches of 1, 10, or 100.— Custom harvesting sell intervals: you can now pick how often to sell harvested data in the Surveillance manager.— Nuclear Reactors now show up in the 3D visualiser— $ figures in the hardware monitor and marketplace now show their full formatted value on hover, to make it a little easier to read those very

Hello!FACEMINER hits 2.0.0Very pleased to announce FACEMINER has been bumped to version to 2.0.0, and with this comes two new gameplay modes:Endless ExpandedNew Endless mode! We think it's better than the old Endless mode. It features 10+ new unlocks (including big hitters such Overclock, Thermal Suppression, the Overdrive Module, Solar Optimizer, and more), and a new Model Collapse meter which is tied to a (lite) prestige mechanic. We hope you like it.VR!FACEMINER is now playable in VR. This is a pretty lightweight beta, optimized to run on lower-powered devices -- but if you've ever wanted t

We're working on a new game! It's called 'Pigeon: A Love Story' and you play as a pigeon looking for your soulmate in a true-to-scale city. Think of it as a hardcore casual game. You can find the trailer, and even wishlist it, on its brand new Steam page: Development on FACEMINER will continue; we have a couple of fun updates planned here, so watch this space. And if you like the sound of the Pigeon game, now you can watch that space, too.Thank you for the support so far.

Hello,FACEMINER is 30% off for the next couple of weeks to celebrate 6 months since launch!In fact, time has flown by so fast that I completely missed the actual anniversary. It's been closer to 6.5 months, but that feels close enough that we can still celebrate with a little discount. Thank you for your interest in the game: excited for what comes next.

Hello! A small updated today featuring a few recent requests. - Window reset button! This can be accessed through the taskbar menu. It will instantly reset all window placements to the default positions. Useful if a window has gone out of view. Nice to finally have this in. - Number truncation. In endless mode, super big numbers will now get shortened (ie $10500000000 now will show as $10.5b). Easier to read, and prevents some UI glitches that were happening. - A new option to lock the hovered-over states in the hardware monitor, so you can always see the surplus/deficit values. The toggle can

Hello! Just a small update today. Inspired by the following bug report, I've now updated FaceFinder Cameras to unlock infinitely. Before, they had a hard cap that I incorrectly assumed people wouldn't reach. I should have known better! This should make Endless games a little bit more Endless (watch this space for more on that). I also pushed up a small manual decrease to the game price in Polish Zloty, as the auto-suggested price for Zloty had fallen out of line relative to the rest of the world due to currency fluctuations. Pleased to have fixed this one. Speak soon!
