Hey Explorers, we hope you're having an awesome summer. We don't know about you, but here in the Northern Hemisphere, it has been incredibly warm and bright. You might be aware that in Sweden, it's customary for us to take some vacation time over the summer, and this is something we do as a business to ensure we're rested and reinvigorated for the remainder of the year. We've been spending some time away from our desks these past few weeks, but that doesn't mean we don't have time for a little community wrap up!

What're Your Favourite Scenes?


Scenes are unique pockets of the world that generate all over the map in Core Keeper. They can come in many forms, but you'll know you've found once because it will be distinct from the rest of your surroundings. Take the broken bridge in Azeos' Wilderness for example! You'll even find scenes created by your fellow Explorer's in the game thanks to the "Scene Makers" challenge we held towards the end of Early Access! Do you have a favourite scene?



Core Keeper Map Tool


Have you used the Core Keeper map tool yet? Co-created by Pugstorm's Ceddini and Soul Wade, as well as community members ZeroGravitas, Caigins, and Mz (with honourable mention to nineforty). The map tool allows you to upload your map files and filter them in such a way that you can identify areas you've not explored yet and narrow down the search for bosses and points of interest. Check it out here and watch this awesome video from Dakon the Mad for an explanation on how to use the map tool.

Have You Taken on the Hydras?


Druidra, Crydra, and Pyrdra are vicious hydra bosses that can only be challenged after powering up The Core. Have you slain these elemental titans?



Community Requested Features


We've added oodles of community requested features to the game throughout the years. From the humble bucket all the way to new backgrounds! If you've got an idea for something you'd like to see in Core Keeper, make sure to suggest it on our User Suggestions Board. We're always keeping an eye on your comments on Steam and social media, but the User Suggestions Board is the most effective and direct way to communicate what you want to see in the game with us!

We love it when our Ambassadors share their Core Keeper builds with us, and we are so excited to be able to share this end-game build for Summoners from SakuraTsubasa with you!





More Map Reveal Mod by Ninakoru


This month's mod spotlight goes to Ninakoru for their "More Map Reveal", a wonderfully simple mod that simply expands the area of discovery on your map as you explore. Ninakoru explains that the expanded area is small and subtle but makes a huge difference when it comes to discovering hidden treasures, points of interest, and even new biomes. Check it out here!
