It's just under ONE MONTH until our 1.0 launch, Explorers! Tomorrow begins the actual 31-day countdown, and there's a real buzz amongst the community. We've shared some fun things with you this week and you've shared some of your incredible creations with us, so let's take a look.

We've been asking our community questions about their Core Keeper experiences over on Discord, including their favourite Early-Access updates. This comment from Moonburn really stood out to us since The Sunken Sea was our first major update after our Early-Access launch! It definitely holds a special place in our hearts 🌊

Do you name your pets in #CoreKeeper? We like to come up with first and last names for ours! In fact (and for no particular reason 👀) we named this little guy Michael Othman...but he prefers to go by M. Othman 🦋

We shared a little more info on the Mage and Warlock combat styles with our community this week. Whether you're going Mage or Warlock, you'll be using our brand-new magic system, which relies on a regenerable resource known as mana. The Mage combat style focuses on magic damage and mana regeneration whereas the Warlock style focuses on summoning! The Mage in this screenshot is wielding weapon known as the Arcane Staff!

We're holding a giveaway over on X at the moment where you can comment for a chance to win your very own Caveling Plushie! All you have to do is make sure you're following us on X and then respond to this post[x.com], tagging a friend who you think would love Core Keeper. Make sure to read the Terms and Conditions[fireshinegames.co.uk], and we look forward to announcing a winner after the giveaway ends on August 4th!

Artist and community member, Dawson[discord.com], has been sharing their pixel art over in the official Core Keeper Discord! This is their take on our new mob, the Shrooman Brute. We love this interpretation and think it's managed to retain some of the cuteness of the original design while still looking much more intimidating than your average Shrooman!

Jade PG CRAFTED has been playing Core Keeper throughout our Early Access launch, and this video takes us through all the new 1.0 content we've revealed so far. It also includes information on our recent Xbox Game Pass announcement. We're honoured to be one of Jade's favourite games, and we look forward to seeing more videos when we hit 1.0!

Community member, AniDen, shared this harrowing piece of pixel art with us over on X. Whether you love clowns or find them absolutely terrifying, you've got to appreciate the effort it took to create this smiling face!

If anyone is counting down, it's just over 5 weeks until Core Keeper launches in 1.0! We're already so excited and can't imagine how we'll feel this time next month. There's been some pretty cool community activity this week, let's get into it!

Fredrik and Julian sat down with Core Keeper Ambassador, Dakon the Mad, to discuss all things 1.0, lore, and more. We had such a blast chatting to Dakon and were impressed by his insightful questions. It was also a delight to get to talk about the history of the company (Radical Rabbit Stew, anyone?), our backgrounds and inspirations, and the future of Core Keeper.

Our super talented composer, Jonathan Geer, has been sharing piano renditions of some of the tracks he composed for Core Keeper over on X. We'll forever be impressed by the hard work and creativity he has put into the Core Keeper soundtrack, and getting to hear these slightly different versions is an extra treat that we feel very lucky to be able to share with you. We can't embed Jonathan's video here, as it was shared on X, but you can navigate to this link[x.com] to watch it!

Gaming artist, POPeArt created a mock-up of an Xbox controller with a Core Keeper design, which we just love. We think the concept is super cool and a great opportunity to remind people that Core Keeper is coming to Xbox Series S|X and Xbox One this year! We got some people asking when this was going on sale when we shared it on X, so we do want to be clear that this is a piece of fan art, not something we're collaborating on.

We're still accepting applications for Discord and Steam-Discussions moderators if that's something that interests you, Explorers! We've got an amazing community in both of these spaces and we're so grateful for all the support our amazing moderators offer us when it comes to keeping our spaces safe and enjoyable. Our current team is made up of wonderful people and we'd like to expand it with new members who want to make a positive impact on our community. If that sounds like you, then feel free to apply via this form[fireshinegames.jotform.com].

Discord member, Lem[discord.com], had a little skim of our content reveal trailer for things to draw and ended up sharing this amazing art with us!
