Gatekeeper News

[h3]Hello, Gatekeepers!

As we approach the release (stay tuned for more news), we're excited to introduce our new upcoming character - Tech Hunter.
Tech Hunter is swift, armed with a shotgun, and acquires new gear from defeated enemies! Learn more about his unique abilities:[/h3]



[h3]The shotgun has a low rate of fire, but shoots over an area, and each pellet is a separate projectile.[/h3]



[h3]A vacuum grenade is also in the arsenal. Throw the grenade to any visible distance. The vacuum first pulls all enemies within its radius towards it, then deals area damage.[/h3]



[h3]Things may quickly go off a plan, so having an orbital strike from a satellite is a must. You can mark any enemy or location point, and after a brief delay, the marked area will be bombarded.[/h3]



[h3]Following the previous point, Tech Hunter can immediately return to whatever place he marked previously, getting off the fight or quickly traversing to points of interest.[/h3]



[h3]And finally, his passive ability allows you to extract artifacts directly from defeated enemies! Which, in my opinion, is pretty cool.

Hope you will enjoy the character and find ways to overpower. Have a good one!


Thank you,
Gravity Lagoon[/h3]

Greetings, Gatekeepers!


[h3]The demo will be available during the Steam NEXT Fest, till Feb. 12, be sure not to miss it![/h3]



The updated demo will feature various updates along with a brand new Arena mode!
The mode consists of rounds of various duration and your only goal is to not get killed. When the timer ends and all the threats are eliminated, players receive rewards and proceed to another round. Sounds simple enough but don’t be tricked by that - the place is limited but the enemies amount is not. Read more about Arena in the previous devglog.



In addition to the Arena, the demo introduces a fresh lobby, an in-game multiplayer party search, an enhanced upgrade acquisition system, balance adjustments, and in-game events! Read more about in-games events in the previous update.



Thank you,

[h3]Guten tag, Gatekeepers!

Today, we're excited to announce that Gatekeeper will participate in the upcoming Steam Next Fest (from Feb. 5 till Feb. 11)! Also, we'd like to introduce to you a completely new game mechanic - in-game events. [/h3]



The updated demo will feature various updates along with a brand new Arena mode!
The mode consists of rounds of various duration and your only goal is to not get killed. When the timer ends and all the threats are eliminated, players receive rewards and proceed to another round. Sounds simple enough but don’t be tricked by that - the place is limited but the enemies amount is not. Read more about Arena in the previous devglog.



In addition to the Arena, the demo introduces a fresh lobby, an in-game multiplayer party search, an enhanced upgrade acquisition system, balance adjustments, and in-game events!



When a game event occurs, you'll receive a notification in the game log (there is a game log now ✍️), alerting you to upcoming danger. Brace yourselves because these events are designed to test your skills and teamwork, pushing you to adapt on the fly.

Currently, we have three distinct events ready to challenge you:



The restless souls of your enemies will chase you and your teammates. Be sure to keep your moving skills always ready.





Prepare to navigate through countless deadly traps that will do damage and slow you down. Be sure to always look in front of you.





Instead of the usual foes, you'll face only rampants. Be sure to not die.





But here's the kicker - these events can occur individually or in any combination, even all three simultaneously! Exciting!



We're continuously brainstorming and gathering ideas for more thrilling events to add to the mix. So, if you have any suggestions or ideas, don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord channel.

Thank you,
Gravity Lagoon

Hola, Gatekeepers! Wishing you a Happy New Year! May 2024 bring you all the best🌲

Today let's talk about arenas and the new Gatekeeper Arena mode in particular, which we aim to deliver in Q1 of 2024.



The mode consists of rounds of various duration and your only goal is to not get killed. When the timer ends and all the threats are eliminated, players receive rewards and proceed to another round. Sounds simple enough but don’t be tricked by that - the place is limited but the enemies amount is not.

We have developed a completely new and distinct enemy spawn mechanisms and different enemy progression curves (both are less forgiving than in the main game). Siren’s spawn was also reworked and on the arena there is no limit for their quantity and they may appear randomly, bringing more chaos to the gameplay. In addition, on arena we are not limited to monsters being an integral part of residential planets, so more enemy combinations are possible.



Like this was not enough, we also made several random events that may happen (or may not) during the arena rounds, creating spikes of difficulty. We would definitely want to not spoil your discovery process, but I can at least advise you to always watch your step and keep looking at the stars.

Regarding the lore - the events take place on a previously unseened planet of Aridune, infamous for its savage and ruthless habitants. Arenas of Aridune attract the most brutal creatures of other worlds to compete in this deadly challenge.



Hope you guys enjoy reading that at least as much as we enjoyed making this mode!

P.S. Of course the mode supports co-op, so teammates are welcome! Hope with the new lobby browser system, it will be much more convenient to find other Gatekeepers!

Thank you,
Gravity Lagoon
