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! [h2]Pugstorm Interview with Dakon the Mad[/h2] 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 ([url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232010/Radical_Rabbit_Stew/]Radical Rabbit Stew[/url], anyone?), our backgrounds and inspirations, and the future of Core Keeper. [previewyoutube=HlbCuL37fBo;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Light Traveling [/h2] 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 [url=https://x.com/j0nmark/status/1812918164491235556]this link[/url] to watch it! [h2]Core Keeper Controller Concept by POPeArt[/h2] 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! [b]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.[/b] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GSR9VJBXgAEk4Zh?format=jpg&name=large[/img] [h2]Moderator Applications Are Still Open[/h2] We're still accepting applications for Discord and Steam-Discussions moderators if that's something that interests you, Explorers!
