Steam Subscriptions and Patreon Items\nSome of you pointed out yesterday that you received random Cowboy Hats in your mailbox! This is all part of the return of subscription items for Patreon and the new Steam Subscription! Gamer and I were doing a little test to ensure the delivery of subscriptions items functioned correctly and as a result current Patreon members received Cowboy Hats!

Starting right now, Steam players can go to the in game Gem Shop, select a subscription tier and be awarded Cowboy Hats! This is the subscription item for the month of September. You will also be awarded your monthly gems based on what tier you select.

Mob Death and Loot Animations have made their way into the game bringing life to the death of a mob. The current chest design, shown in the images below, is just the start! Over the next few months I\'ll be adding more unique chests and designs for mobs, bosses and veins! The chests will also stay open if you leave any loot in the loot window.
