Dome Keeper News

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.

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.

It's always more fun to share good times. So invite a friend to join the Keeper ranks on this epic journey. We’re gonna need everyone of them. These Domes won’t keep themselves.

Check your inventory, Keepers! We’ve created presents to add to your holiday cheer. Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, and Backgrounds. If you’ve played, you will likely find you already have a card or two (or more, up to 5). Play the game and trade to build out a full collection to proudly represent for the Keepers Guild wherever you go around Steam.



Again, thank you for your nominations to the steam awards. Here are some community items to celebrate the occasion!

When we got the news from Steam it took a minute to sink in. “Your game has been nominated for a Steam Award! - Most Innovative Gameplay.” It’s a moment we won’t forget. And let’s be honest, it’s really ours together because this all comes from your support and recognition of the game. We are truly humbled and honored.
