New Year, new tuning and balancing update

[h2]Greetings Keepers[/h2]

The Guild Council appreciates your patience while we took a little time off over the end of the year. You gave a lot of great feedback which helped us with these adjustments. Please keep it coming and happy keeping!

[h3]Changelog v2.3.1[/h3]
    toned down the stag
    - 1000hp -> 800hp
    - 10 dmg air projectile -> 8 dmg air projectile
    - 100 dmg ground projectile -> 80 dmg ground projectile
    toned down the scarab
    - 1200hp -> 1000hp
    - 40 dmg -> 25 dmg
    - only goes invincible once
    increased sword dome health by 25%
    reworked the Javelin. The sword now reappears immediately after shooting, and you are never blocked from moving the pad after shooting. The tradeoff is you can no longer control the Javelin in flight. To keep the timing, the charging does take slightly longer. To improve feedback on charging being finished, it no longer charges linearly and ends with a sound and animation.
    buffed sword fast stab damage across all upgrades
    fixed orchard shield not actually protecting from stag and scarab projectiles
    orchard shield now also blocks worm rocks
    tree seed won't grow on indestructible tiles anymore
    halfed the cost increase of buying lift orbs repeatably
    fixed gadget duplication exploit via saving and reloading in the right moment
    fixed crash when switching between some audio devices



  • fixed rare crash when reloading save and the squidley cave has been found
  • fixed stag and scarab projectiles not getting reflected by sword dome
  • increased damage and size of explosion of projectiles that got reflected by sword dome
  • fixed scarab getting stuck outside of screen
  • improved the timing of the scarab losing its arms
  • fixed stun laser sometimes not targetting stag
  • fixed stun laser sometimes wobbling in place instead of targetting an enemy

2022 Wrap-up and First Look at 2023 Plans

Hey, Keepers! It's been an amazing 3 months since the first Dome dropped. We've seen over 300,000 Keepers make planetfall, retrieve countless relics and set some really impressive high scores. Plus, your masterful skills have been seen by more than 4.3 Million Twitch viewers, watching 3 Million hours of Dome Keeper. Incredible!

Your enthusiasm has been inspiring, and given us more energy than ever. We've released the Assessor Keeper, Caves & Critters, and Hard Pressed updates, and more. Thanks to you, this is just the beginning! We've got big plans for 2023 to turn our hopes and dreams into reality.



We’re planning various and multiple types of content, gameplay additions, and tweak/balancing updates in various sizes, from smaller to epic ones. We’ll go into more detail about upcoming updates next year, however, we’d like to celebrate 2023 by teasing our first epic project for 2023: Multiplayer!

Yes, we know you've been asking for it and we're committed to making it happen. It's a huge project - the goal is to include both co-op and versus modes. To make sure we deliver a great experience we’ll need your input along the way.

It’ll take awhile, and we’ll have lots more to share along the way. For now, we're taking a few days off to enjoy this special moment and get ready for the amazing year ahead.

Vote Now for Steam Awards and Winter Sale 30% off!

This is it, Keepers. Voting in the Steam Awards is now open and we hope you will cast a vote for Dome Keeper for Most Innovative Gameplay. We are still completely over the moon to be one of the five nominees. Your support means so much to us. Dare we hope to take home the Award? A Keeper can dream.

In our excitement we thought, how else can we celebrate? Someone mentioned the Winter Sale so we decided to go for a 30% off offer. You, the community made this all happen and we have really awesome plans for the year ahead …more on that soon.
