Core Keeper News

Hey there Explorers, we’re pleased to affirm that, following our Sunken Sea Update, Core Keeper is now playable in English, Simplified Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and German.

With the game now being available in so many languages, we’ve seen lots of new Explorers from lots of different territories join the official Core Keeper Discord server and say hello in the Core Keeper Steam Discussions. We’re delighted that our social channels are places where multilingual discussions can take place, and we’re very committed to moderating discussions in all languages (where possible), so that we can keep these spaces safe and enjoyable for everyone.

To that end, we are looking out for new moderators to join our existing mod team! If you read and write in both English and one (or more!) of the following languages and are interested in becoming a moderator, we’d love to hear from you. The languages we’re currently looking for are Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and German.

[h2]What do Moderators do?[/h2]

Moderators work with us on the Core Keeper Discord server and the Core Keeper Steam Discussion Forums to keep things safe, friendly, and enjoyable for all server members. We provide all our moderators with a written guidelines document to help them deal with all kinds of situations. Safety is our number-one priority, and we have a list of rules on our Discord server that all members must abide by. Our current moderation team is a group of friendly individuals from across Europe, Australia, and Canada, and they’re very welcoming of new members.

We’re delighted to announce that, shortly after the launch of The Sunken Sea Update - our first major content update - Core Keeper hit 1,000,000 sales. This is a momentous occasion for us as developers and for our publisher, Fireshine Games. In fact, Core Keeper previously set the record for being Fireshine Games’ fastest-selling digital game of all time by selling 100,000 copies within its first two days of Early-Access launch.

We’re truly overwhelmed by the fantastic community response that Core Keeper has had, and we’re thrilled to have hit this milestone so early on in the games’ development. Launching in Early Access has given us a unique opportunity to involve the community in major game decisions and collaborate with them on improvements and optimisations.

That’s why we want to express our gratitude to our amazing community now that we’ve hit 1,000,000 sales. From our vibrant Twitter followers to our colourful Discord members, the fine folk in the Steam Discussions, and all our other community members across the world, we wouldn’t be where we are today without your support, enthusiasm, and feedback!

We hope you have an amazing time exploring the Sunken Sea Biome. With every step on your Core Keeper journeys, you’re one step closer to uncovering the secrets of The Core!

We can’t believe it’s been two whole weeks since we released The Sunken Sea Update! Since then, we’ve seen lots and lots of amazing streams, videos, and pieces of art from our talented community, and we thought now would be a great time to share even more of our favourites with you.

You might also remember that we shared some of your amazing Core Keeper content not long after our Early Access update. If you’ve not seen it already, we definitely recommend checking it out here.

We thought we’d start with a little bit of fanart again…

First up is this colourful cut-out of the The Core, by Eri Artistically Foolish.



Next, we’ve got this wonderful and adorable commission, created by the talented Jorunna.



There’s also this incredibly detailed piece from Lil’ Pink Teeth that we can’t stop staring at!
