Dome Keeper News

Hey Keepers,

Our multiplayer playtest has now come to an end. So many of you signed up to take part and you've helped us immensely these past few days! We hope you've had lots of fun doing it.
With your insight we're working on making multiplayer as good as it can be and we hope if you haven't already given any feedback that you'll fill out this form and do so for us so we can get as full a picture as possible.

We will have more news about multiplayer in the near future, and in the meantime we just wanted to thank you so much for all of your ongoing support and enthusiasm for Dome Keeper which has kept it all going over the last couple of years.

Many thanks,
Paige

[h2]Surprise, Keepers![/h2][p][/p][p]As you are all very aware, multiplayer for Dome Keeper has been in the works for quite some time and the team have been working super hard to try and perfect the experience for you all.[/p][p][/p][p]We're almost at the finish line and are now ready to launch a public playtest here on Steam today as a bit of a stress test to make sure there's nothing glaring that we've missed, and to iron anything out that might come up as a result of a mass group test! You can find a link to join the playtest on the store page (don't mind it saying "Dome Romantik", it really is "Dome Keeper").[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We expect to have the playtest run for the whole week until the 15th of february. Your feedback is super valuable, and we need to make sure we can keep up with it, so for now we need to limit the playtest to a few thousand players (if even that many people join).[/p][p]We strongly encourage you to join our super active Discord server where you'll find many amazing community members ready to assist, help and group up for multiplayer shenanigans too. There is no public lobby feature, so you do need to have some Steam friends to play with.[/p][p][/p][p]One fantastic way to provide feedback is this form we prepared. If you can find a few minutes after you playtested, please fill it out, it helps immensely![/p][p]Playtest feedback form[/p][p][/p][p]For anyone taking part in this playtest, we really do appreciate you so much. To report any issues or just write down some feedback, please use Discord or the Steam forums. We'll keep a close eye on both and track all issues, even if we do not immediately reply.[/p][p][/p][p]Yours multiplayeringly[/p][p]Paige[/p][p][/p][h2]Quick FAQ
[/h2][p]Do I need to own the base game to join the playtest?[/p][p]No, anyone can join.[/p][p] [/p][p]What are the "invites" I have?[/p][p]Initially the playtest is not restricted in how many people can join. However, if in two days or so we see that we have as many people in the playtest as we can reasonably handle, we will close joining. In that case you can use the invites to still invite friends to the playtest, despite it being closed to the public.[/p][p][/p][p]Do I keep the game after the playtest concludes?[/p][p]No, when the playtest concludes, the app will not be usable - just like a demo that is taken offline.[/p]

Future Keepers, you might not know it yet but we've got your new favourite mining roguelike for 2026 right here and you can try it for FREE from now until Monday 12th January, and then pick it up for 60% off until January 22nd!

We're thrilled to be able to share Dome Keeper with new players in this way and we hope you'll give any new Keepers a very warm welcome into our lovely community ❤️

PS, because we know you're all wondering... Multiplayer is still coming VERY SOON and we're hoping to have more news for you in the coming weeks.

Happy New Year!
Paige

As 2025 comes to an end, we just wanted to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for making this community such an incredible one.

Until then, we're going to take a short break over the holidays and are looking forward to everything coming up in the New Year.

Oh, and if you haven't already, there's still time to pre-order your Drillbert plushies!

Happy Holidays,
Team Dome Keeper
