Core Keeper Steam Next Fest Livestream W/ Friends

Hey everyone!

Watch this space!

Throughout Steam Next Fest we are going to be streaming some footage on the Core Keeper Steam page.

A huge thank you to FuryForged, Kisaka Toriama, Pedguin and Boba for letting us use their footage for the stream. Please do check out their channels and show them some love.

You too can play the demo now! All the progress you make in the demo will carry over to the Early Access version of the game when it launches on the 8th of March so feel free to mine, farm, build, explore and fight to your heart's content!

Steam Next Fest demo: This indie game is Terraria x Diablo

Steam Next Fest is upon us, with a massive pile of free game demos. There are far more games here than anyone could reasonably play in the week the event is active, so I'm doing the only thing I can do - checking out cool-looking things at random, and reporting back when one of those things plays well, too.


Turn Terraria from a side view to a top-down perspective, and you'll understand the basic vibe of Core Keeper. This is a crafting and survival game in the post-Minecraft tradition, but one that takes place entirely underground, and which gives you a series of bosses to hunt down in order to pursue an overarching objective.


Loading up Core Keeper for the first time, its punchy effects make a strong first impression. Knocking down blocks makes up the vast majority of a game like this, and they all come down with a satisfying pop - a small thing, but it's the kind of detail that gives Core Keeper an immediate feeling of quality.

Steam Next Fest & Localisation Celebrations!

It’s been just under two weeks since we announced our Early Access date and the brand-new Core Keeper Demo on Steam, and we’re pleased to report that you’ll be able to play our demo right up until the 28th of February as part of Steam Next fest! If that wasn’t exciting enough, we’re also delighted to announce that the Core Keeper Demo is now fully localised in both Simplified Chinese and Thai, opening up Core Keeper to even more Explorers worldwide.

We’re really looking forward to hearing your feedback on our localisation efforts, and you can let us know what you think in the Steam comments or on our Discord Server!

[h2]Steam Next Fest[/h2]

Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration running from the 21st to the 28th of February where gamers can try out demos and learn about upcoming games on Steam. We’ve no doubt that our industry peers will be unleashing all kinds of wonderful demos into the world this week, and we wanted to take this opportunity to wish them all a great Steam Next Fest.

Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t also encourage you to check out our Core Keeper Demo! You can try it for free by navigating to the Core Keeper store page and hitting download. Oh, and we’ve added a whole host of new features since the Open Alpha including, but not limited to…

  • The Third Boss
  • Talent Trees
  • Character Backgrounds & Updates to Character Creation
  • Hardcore Mode
  • Worlds / Characters Split
  • Paintable Walls and Ground
  • Carapace Armour
  • New Lantern
  • Craftable Bag
  • Pinging Mini Map
  • Merchant Idols - (Dropped by Bosses)
  • Craftable Crude Bombs
  • And More!


[h2]Simplified Chinese & Thai Localisations[/h2]

Those of you who are also members of our Twitter and Discord communities will have spotted an announcement from us on the 11th of February informing you that we were able to roll out early versions of our Simplified Chinese and Thai localisations for a hefty chunk of the game. While these weren’t 100% complete, we hoped the early localisations improved the overall experience for our Chinese and Thai Explorers.

As of today, however, we’re happy to declare that the Core Keeper Demo has been fully localised to Simplified Chinese and Thai – and we plan on both languages being available (alongside English) from our official Early Access launch!

We hope you’re as excited for Core Keeper to hit Early Access as we are, and that you’re having a blast mining, crafting, exploring, building, fighting, cooking, and farming in our demo. If you’re playing solo and fancy teaming up for some multiplayer mining (in groups of up to 8 players!), then why not join our Discord and meet your fellow Explorers?
