Core Keeper News

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.



[h2]Discord Emojis[/h2]
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!

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!

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?

[h2]Hive Mother Drawing by Wither503[/h2]
Discord user, Wither503, has been sharing some of their Core Keeper artwork across the Discord server. We really enjoyed this Hive Mother drawing and wanted to share it with you!

[h2]Caveling Plushie World Domination![/h2]
Our Caveling plushies are making their way to all the corners of the world! This little guy has found himself in Tokyo, Japan.



[h2]Welcome to the "in the mountain" inn![/h2]
OkajinTV and co created this beautiful "mountainside" inn. Amazing work and very cozy looking!

It's the first community wrap-up of August and also the month that our Spanish Language update is due to launch. Keep an eye out for this, Explorers! We've not got lots to say this week other than check out all the awesome Core Keeper content you can find across the web:

[h2]White Whistle[/h2]
Our Lead Artist, Julian, is responsible for this awesome anime reference. Does anyone know the name of the anime this is from?

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]New Fish or New Plants?[/h2]
We asked you if you'd rather see new fish or new plants in the Crystal Biome update. We definitely should have seen this coming, but the vast majority of you said...BOTH! We can't reveal too much but let's just say that we definitely don't want to disappoint any of you *wink* *wink*.

[h2]Check Out Our Soundtrack[/h2]
Did you know that volume 1 of the Core Keeper official soundtrack is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and more? Check out the Spotify album here!



[h2]Starlight Nautilus[/h2]
Did you know that August is National Fishing Month? We donned our Diving Helm, Kelp Mantle, Scuba Fins, Neptune Necklace, and Goldfish ring for some serious fishing buffs and were finally able to catch that Starlight Nautilus we'd been dreaming about.



[h2]Boat Base![/h2]
We were inspired by one of our recent competition winners to create a little boat base! What do you think?

[h2]The Great Escape[/h2]
Discord user SnapDragon987 has wowed us with another piece of cattle-inspired pixel art. Thankfully, Bambucks can't actually jump fences in Core Keeper (though we don't totally hate the idea).



[h2]Core Keeper Short Film[/h2]
One of our Discord Mods, Mistry, shared a project she's been working on for quite some time now. She put a lot of effort into this (2 whole months' worth!) and has said that it was a blast to beat the bosses alone since she'd always had someone taking them on with her in the past. Seeing her project finished brings tears to her eyes every time she watches it and we can't help but get a little emotional when we think of all her hard work too!

Hey there Explorers, it's not long now until we head into a brand-new month where you can expect our Spanish Language Update! We're very excited to be bringing you Core Keeper in European Spanish and we can't wait to welcome lots of new people to the Core Keeper community. Speaking of our community, let's dive right into the weekly community wrap-up!

[h2]This Barbie is Playing in Creative Mode[/h2]
It's Barbie's world, and we're all just living in it.

[h2]Guess That Achievement![/h2]
It's like "Who's that Pokémon?" but with less margin for error. We shared a picture of an achievement you can expect in our upcoming Crystal Biome update and asked you to guess the name of the achievement and how it is unlocked. Here are some of the guesses the community had on Twitter!

• Title "How Now Purple Cow?" and it's of course maximum affection level
  
• My Moo best friend
  
• Cattle Moo-ving is a little bit tedious: Transfer "X-amount" of cattle near player-crafted home.
  

[h2]How Do You like to Travel?[/h2]
On foot? By boat? By minecart? By car? There are lots of different ways to traverse the underground, and we want to hear all about your favourites in the comments!

[h2]Going Green[/h2]
Have you got a colour-themed base in Core Keeper? We went with green for this one simply because we like it!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]Bambuck on the Loose[/h2]
This adorable pixel art put a smile on our faces. Is there anything cuter than a Bambuck in a bed of Glow Tulips? Big thanks to Discord user SnapDragon987 for creating this awesome artwork!



[h2]They're Here![/h2]
Looks like the people who backed our Makeship campaign have started to receive their Caveling Plushies in the post. That's us one step closer on the way to world domination! Thank you Twitter user Yevli for sharing this picture with us.



Colourful Storage
It might not be all one colour, but this base (created by Twitter user PancakeLily~) has some pretty colourful storage solutions.
