Set against a backdrop of 90s techno-optimism, FACEMINER is an experimental, narrative-driven management sim that tasks the player with building a planetary scale biometric processing empire from scratch. All from within a suite of vintage software.
WORKLOAD
Manage data-streams, software upgrades, and hardware extensions as you rapidly expand your plant’s infrastructure. Ensure profits remain high and avoid bankruptcy (or worse) as you navigate oppressive electricity bills, high-maintenance cooling systems, and crooked politically-enforced carbon offsetting schemes.
CORPORATE CULTURE
Mining alone is no fun! Learn more about your fellow miners and keep up to date with the office gossip through internal email. Sift through messages to unravel the mysteries – and ultimate plans – of the shadowy creators of the FACEMINER software suite.GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Climb the corporate ladder and gradually rise through the ranks as you are promoted from manual data-filtering rookie through to the ultimate harvesting automator as you classify and sell facial data at ever-increasing speeds. The world of data brokering is ruthless, and poor prioritisation can lead to costly mistakes down the line. Do you have what it takes to climb the ranks and become the ultimate FACEMINER?Remember: Every Face Has Value.

Hello!
A few things today:
[u]Patch Notes[/u]
\nThe latest version of FACEMINER is now live, which has the following changes:\n
Game size reduction! Through a mixture of optimizing audio/images/model files, and removing some unused assets, the game file size has been reduced by 30-40%, depending on your platform. As well as freeing up some disk space, this should give a little performance boost generally. Thank you to qwertyyyyyyy for kickstarting this and providing a very useful FFmpeg script, among other things.
[/*]New FPS limiter option in the settings menu which caps the FPS at 60FPS, for those who the game was already running a little bit too well.
[/*]Tweaks to make achievements more robust, including fix for bug where some cats would not trigger the CATMINER achievement. Unacceptable.
[/*]Tweaks to tutorial language, based on some IRL playtesting observations (see below)
[/*]Other stuff: Fix BSOD text in Japanese version, hopefully fix issue where game would ask for microphone permissions for small percentage of Mac users.

[u]FACEMINER Goes to Develop:Brighton[/u]
In other news, we are freshly back from Develop:Brighton, where we had the opportunity to showcase the game in person for the first time. It was great fun: thank you to Develop:Brighton, and everyone who stopped by! More IRL stuff soon, hopefully.

[u]Speedruns[/u]
Lastly, I\'d like to draw attention to some new speedrun records that have been set over the last few days. Gauntlet thrown. Recommended watching for some state of the art mining tips.
More updates soon! Both relating to FACEMINER, and another as-yet-unannounced project. There has never been a better time to follow our Steam Developer page .\n
As always, thank you for playing.
