Happy second week of July, Explorers! Every week brings us one step closer to 1.0, and we're hard at work putting those finishing touches on the game. The ongoing positivity and support from our community is making the run up to our full launch even more special, so let's take a look at what we've been up to this week. [h2]Core Keeper Features Tournament[/h2] We're still running the Core Keeper Features Tournament over on X, giving you the chance to have your say and let us know your favourite feature of the game. We started out the voting by pairing up 8 of our key features in a head-to-head battle: Exploration vs Farming, Crafting vs Base Building, Cooking vs Fishing, and Combat vs Skills / Talents. There were some clear-cut victors here, though it was very close between Crafting and Base Building! In the end, you voted Exploration, Base Building, Cooking, and Skills / Talents as your winners. The next round of the tournament saw Base Building and Cooking eliminated, leaving us with just two options to choose from and decide the ultimate feature. There's still time to vote, so [url=https://x.com/CoreKeeperGame/status/1811438968858103875]head on over to this post[/url] and tell us which you prefer: Exploration vs Skills / Talents?

We might have done 👀. This big beauty is known as the Shrooman Brute. It's bigger and stronger than a regular Shrooman, but still somehow just as adorable.

We feel all warm and fuzzy inside reading such high praise, though we do agree that there's always room for more desserts.

He is definitely looking [b]extra[/b] corrupted here.
