Core Keeper - Patch Notes - 0.3.6

GAMEPLAY


[h2]General[/h2]

  • 4 types of easter eggs can be found and gathered in the world for a reward when combined. These eggs will be removed after the egg hunt event but any rewards will be permanent.


[h2]Balancing Improvements[/h2]

  • Increased the damage of the burning effect from Malugaz equipment set bonus.
  • Slightly increased the amount of max health that Ghorm gains per player. The max health has not been changed in single-player mode.
  • The health of Azeos crystals no longer scales with the amount of players.


[h2]Quality-of-life[/h2]

  • Player health ratio now stays the same when max health changes.


[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]

  • Digging up plants with a shovel or hoe now correctly has a chance to yield extra plants from the extra harvest chance.
  • Scarlet gear set bonus now correctly gives crit chance and not attack speed.
  • Fixed an issue where grass would sometimes spawn inside walls.
  • Fixed an issue where hitting while holding a broken weapon would still have the reach and attack speed of the broken weapon.
  • Fixed an issue where the Hologram Pod NPC could hold items if shift clicking an item to add it to the NPC inventory. Any current items held by the Hologram Pod can be received back by destroying/releasing any placed Hologram Pod.
  • Fixed an issue where talents and buffs that increase health regeneration effectiveness were not calculated correctly.
  • Fixed a visual issue where eyes were rendered incorrectly when using fishing rods.
  • Fixed a visual issue where peasant armour was not rendered when fishing.


[h2]Other[/h2]

  • Changed attack speed to show one decimal of precision.
  • Improved the descriptions of “The smell of food” and “Sharing is caring” talents to clarify that they apply to the player as well as their allies.

Sharing Your Amazing Core Keeper Content!

It’s been just under 4 weeks since Core Keeper launched in Early Access. Since then, the game has accrued over 1,000,000 hours watched on Twitch! We’ve had an amazing time watching your videos and checking out your screenshots, and we can’t believe how funny and talented a community we’ve got.

In fact, we wanted to highlight some of your awesome Core Keeper content. We wish we could share everything we’ve come across these past few weeks, but for now, we wanted to showcase a round up of some of our favourites.

First up, we wanted to share some of your amazing fan art!

Check out this “Clay Cave Beasts” artwork by Blasko:



And this awesome Glurch painting that Discord user KomnNom created in just 40 minutes:



We also LOVE this Voxel Diorama that JokeRat created, complete with glowing Core and adorable Slimes:



You’ve shared some gorgeous screenshots with us over on Discord too, including this lovely flower garden from zAlex:

Carrying on the Pokémon theme, we just love this Clefairy map from Steevownage on Reddit:



We witnessed a little Caveling smack talk from Felicia Day and co on Twitch.

And watched Kang Gaming go head-to-head with Ghorm armed with plenty of bombs.

Jaz’s team had a questionable strategy, fighting Glurch with a burrito.

Whereas Z1 Gaming’s team put in a lot of prep work for this boss battle.

And finally, we thoroughly enjoyed hearing what CohhCarnage had to say about his time in the underground:

Core Keeper is like Minecraft with purpose

Minecraft is all about freedom. It's about finding your way, making your own fun, and building your own space in the world. It's a game in which you, the player, have the power to do pretty much anything. It might start out as punching trees, but eventually you carve your own path through the procedurally generated world, free from guidance and instruction. This total freedom is a joy for many players, but for others it leads to disinterest, and if you're someone who prefers a hint of direction then we might have just the game for you.


Core Keeper, which is threatening to break through into the top Steam games, retains a lot of the key components found within Minecraft, like crafting, creating your own home, and exploration, but they're baked into a structure that's easy to follow without having to resort to tutorials. If you've bounced off survival games like Minecraft before, you could find that Core Keeper is the one that finally sticks.


When you start a new Core Keeper save, it opens up with a cutscene that explains who you're playing as and why they find themselves underground. Now, that's not a big deal for some people, but if you like to know what's going on in a game, then this will be a huge boon. After this, you're dumped into a subterranean world with only a couple of basic items at hand, but there's another important distinction: you're surrounded by three strange devices you can interact with, each representing a major boss you have to go and kill. Et voilà, you have a purpose.
