tons of great stuff in the pipeline but wanted to crosscheck if there are some ideas I might have missed. 🙏
it is just completely AMAZING that Terraria now almost has 1 million reviews on Steam

@ReLogicGames
one day, in 1000 years, if AI hasn't destroyed us all, maybe Core Keeper will reach the same milestone :D
i've been drinking 3 litres of Coke and eating chocolate strawberries non-stop because i'm so shaky.
or maybe it's the caffeine.
thanks so much to everyone who supported us! :)
ありがとう!!
this is absolutely unbelievable to me.
from playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Donkey Kong Country on Nintendo consoles, to now being featured on their official accounts.🙏🥰
an unfathomably huge milestone for me and the team.

Best thing with Core Keeper doing so (crazy) well is that I get to experience it with a great team & my best friends.
Been making games with some of them for 10-15 years, long before graduating from school. We failed so many times. And then... 🚀

we got a request to add microtransactions to Core Keeper from a fan

@chippygamingyt
any plans for new monetization strategies for Terraria?
we are doing quite huge improvements to our rendering pipeline with Core Keeper 1.0 :)
both performance & features
even have some (water) caustics from the real-time global illumination; not sure if this has been done in a pixel-art game before?

I know it probably shouldn't matter. But positive reviews really help energize me (and the team).
94% positive recent just feels so great. Hope to bump that up even further.
Thanks to everyone who gave a positive review - it really helps so much to keep going at full speed.
Huge thanks to the Terraria community ♡ and its devs,

🎣 Core Keeper Fishing News 🧜♂️
We heard you — a toggleable option to switch back to the old fishing system is on the way for those who preferred the original mini-game. 🐟
We are working on it and will add it as soon as we can.
Since
#CoreKeeper
uses path tracing without RTX: We have real-time refraction, reflections, indirect lighting, etcetera.
Achievable because we render to a small texture, bypassing the need for expensive full-screen passes.
(Also, no need for RTX!)

Core Keeper of course hasn't reached the same level of commercial success, but with an amazing community - millions players and new starting every day - I do relate to this feeling.
Already feels like life's work, even though it simultaneously feels like I just started...?
@siddartha1492
many things, including that so many people are still playing it, and many new poeple every day, I want it to be the best it can be, It will never be perfect but I feel an urge to keep improving it. Up to this point its been my life's work and I care a lot about it
Adding subtle edge highlights: a tiny tweak that may slip under the radar, yet it is felt!
Elevates the whole & boosts readability.
Got a sneaky detail in your project that secretly makes it greater?

Also, always make sure your game includes a feature where you can accidentally hit a block of lava, and then watch helplessly as all your hard-earned gear and resources are instantly incinerated.
It really adds to the player's sense of adventure.
sorry for not being able to reply to everyone like usually - I will try to during the day ♡ I appreciate every message so much!
things went completely crazy yday...!
this one by SDavid still gives me chills...a piece of art — inside Core Keeper!
...every tile has been mined and placed individually. Beautiful.
Zoom in to see all the glorious details.

Watching Dakon's video about the helms in Core Keeper makes me realize how much content we have added over the last years... and there'll be even more coming up in the future. :)

one of the small things that really adds some final polish to Core Keeper 1.0 is the updated colors and lighting
we had some internal battles on how colorful to make it but in the end I am super happy with the result :)
what do you think?

Core Keeper has forever changed my life for the better so I am extremely thankful for all support and for everyone who has bought the game ♡

scary, with >2 million players already, and my own high expectations to boot.
not just a large update; also extending to consoles, & physical editions set for shelves worldwide.

nearly 50,000 new players joined Core Keeper during the Steam Summer Sale! delighted to see such a response; I didn't expect it.🤩
I hope you thoroughly enjoy the experience.
