After an unhealthy amount of caffeine and an unhealthier amount of time shrimping over my desk, I finished the piece right on time! I might revisit it for edits/cleanup after taking a nap but I feel confident in that this is at least 95+%~ done? I can't tell anymore LOL
I want to congratulate Pugstorm and their team for working so hard on the game the past two(?) years! I remember I found Core Keeper thanks to the collaboration that they had done with Terraria at the time. I recall looking at the promotional images and I LOVED the way it looked- especially the lighting (it was many many many hours later of playing later that I discovered that the game is actually in 3D but built for the isometric view!).
I've played a decent amount of Early Access games but the amount of games that have gripped me the way Core Keeper did I could probably count on one hand. I think a large part of that trust was thanks to how the team was always listening to the community and updating the game consistently. I think back to when I started the game and playing this Ver.99 is crazy as I am discovering new stuff that was never there when I had first began my own journey to take care of The Core (as well as many QoL changes- thank god for the ability to look through a list of earlier recipes at workbenches). It's made me so happy to see that this game was given the love and attention it deserved and that it's FINALLY releasing!
In less than 24 hours, we'll all be lowering the Great Wall and journeying outwards to continue our own adventures- but I hope that we all will still come back here to continue talking and loving Core Keeper together!
