It’s been just under two weeks since we announced our Early Access date and the brand-new Core Keeper Demo on Steam, and we’re pleased to report that you’ll be able to play our demo right up until the 28th of February as part of Steam Next fest! If that wasn’t exciting enough, we’re also delighted to announce that the Core Keeper Demo is now fully localised in both Simplified Chinese and Thai, opening up Core Keeper to even more Explorers worldwide. We’re really looking forward to hearing your feedback on our localisation efforts, and you can let us know what you think in the Steam comments or on our [url=http://www.discord.gg/corekeeper]Discord Server[/url]! [h2]Steam Next Fest[/h2] Steam Next Fest is a week-long celebration running from the 21st to the 28th of February where gamers can try out demos and learn about upcoming games on Steam. We’ve no doubt that our industry peers will be unleashing all kinds of wonderful demos into the world this week, and we wanted to take this opportunity to wish them all a great Steam Next Fest. Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t also encourage you to check out our Core Keeper Demo! You can try it for free by navigating to the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1621690/Core_Keeper/]Core Keeper store page[/url] and hitting download. Oh, and we’ve added a whole host of new features since the Open Alpha including, but not limited to… [list] [*] The Third Boss [*] Talent Trees [*] Character Backgrounds & Updates to Character Creation [*] Hardcore Mode [*] Worlds / Characters Split [*] Paintable Walls and Ground [*] Carapace Armour [*] New Lantern [*] Craftable Bag [*] Pinging Mini Map [*] Merchant Idols - (Dropped by Bosses) [*] Craftable Crude Bombs [*] And More! [/list] [h2]Simplified Chinese & Thai Localisations[/h2] Those of you who are also members of our Twitter and Discord communities will have spotted an announcement from us on the 11th of February informing you that we were able to roll out early versions of our Simplified Chinese and Thai localisations for a hefty chunk of the game. While these weren’t 100% complete, we hoped the early localisations improved the overall experience for our Chinese and Thai Explorers. As of today, however, we’re happy to declare that the Core Keeper Demo has been fully localised to Simplified Chinese and Thai – and we plan on both languages being available (alongside English) from our official Early Access launch! We hope you’re as excited for Core Keeper to hit Early Access as we are, and that you’re having a blast mining, crafting, exploring, building, fighting, cooking, and farming in our demo. If you’re playing solo and fancy teaming up for some multiplayer mining (in groups of up to 8 players!), then why not [url=http://www.discord.gg/corekeeper]join our Discord[/url] and meet your fellow Explorers?
