Weekly Community Wrap-Up: 18th August 2023

Wondering what's going on in the world of Core Keeper? Then you won't wanna miss our weekly wrap-ups! Let's take a look at what we've been sharing this week, as well as some of the awesome stuff our community has been sharing with us!

[h2]We're going to Gamescom 2023![/h2]
Exciting times ahead, Explorers. Yesterday, we announced that Core Keeper is going to be at Gamescom 2023 with Fireshine Games in the Indie Arena (consumer hall 10.2). Oh, and did we mention that we'll be bringing some brand-new merch with us? Think T-shirts, stickers, notebooks, and more!



[h2]Glowbugs Galore![/h2]
Glowbugs have been part of Core Keeper since day one and they've really grown and developed with the game. We put a lot of love into our lighting system and the way these adorable little Glowbugs look, but did you know that we added a mechanic so that you can pick them up and place them down using the Bug Net? Watch this Explorer in action!



You can get an idea of what Glowbugs looked like very early on in the game from this GIF we released around about the time we launched in Early Access.

Join our Discord. We have emojis. What more do you need?
(We also have a very lovely and friendly community)



[h2]Cozy Little Kitchen[/h2]
Discord user, Terrarium, has been doing some base renovating recently. Check out their cozy little kitchen!



[h2]Terraria Pixel Art[/h2]
Anybody recognise this terrifying tyrant? Big shout out to Azakha Of The Golden Order [CKO] for creating this amazing artwork.



[h2]Knights Templar Pixel Art[/h2]
There are absolutely no words to describe how awesome this map art by Queen Underscore is. We bet it took ages!

Core Keeper is Going to Gamescom 2023!

That’s right, Explorers, Core Keeper is going to be at Gamescom 2023! We’re delighted to announce that you can come and play Core Keeper over at the Fireshine Games booths in the Indie Area (consumer hall 10.2).

Whether you’re brand new to Core Keeper or a veteran of the underground, why not stop on by, sit down with the game, and pick up some exclusive merch? We’ll have a lovely little selection of goodies for you to get your hands on, including T-shirts, stickers, notebooks, and more!



As if that wasn’t exciting enough, we also wanted to remind you that...

[h2]Our Mod SDK Is on the Way![/h2]

We’re still hard at work getting our Mod Software Development Kit ready for you all. We’ve got an amazing modding community and we are looking forward to being able to provide more robust mod support for them. The Mod SDK will help modders create and distribute mods for Core Keeper, offering a standardised way to add and install mods to the game.

We’ve mentioned before that the initial solutions we’re pushing might be a bit limited at first, but we’re taking this approach in order to give creators all the tools they need to implement their own solutions while making mod support as stable as possible. This is currently still planned for September 2023, and we hope this will open up the world of Core Keeper mods to even more Explorers.

We hope to see some of you at Gamescom this year and, for those of you who can’t make it, we’ll still be around on the Core Keeper Twitter and official Core Keeper Discord server!

Weekly Community Wrap-Up: 11th August 2023

Welcome to another Weekly Community Wrap-Up, Explorers! We can't believe how quickly the weeks go by, it'll be Christmas before we know it. Speaking of Christmas (though, we suppose we've got Halloween first), we wanted to remind you that all of our in-game seasonal events can be accessed at any time through the Gameplay Settings menu. You can even toggle these on/off if you'd rather not experience them at all throughout the year!

[h2]Mini-Moolin[/h2]
Hmm, there's something a little off about this Moolin. It's really small and it looks like it's only recently learnt to walk. Odd...



[h2]Desert of Beginnings Concept Art[/h2]
Have you seen some of the amazing concept art that our Lead Artist, Julian, creates when we're working on something new? Here's some of the concepts from The Desert of Beginnings update! We're sure you'll spot plenty of familiar designs along with a few that didn't quite make the final cut (such as the Sunpear and Nightdew Blossom plants!).



[h2]Which is Your Favourite Day of the Week?[/h2]
It's a tough job, exploring the underground 7 days a week, but somebody has to do it.

[h2]Colourful Cat-Creatures![/h2]
Like all our pets, the Embertail comes in plenty of fun colour variations. Which colours have you hatched?
