Core Keeper - Bridie

Exciting news, everyone. Core Keeper is going to be at EGX 2021 from the 7th to the 10th of October!
If you didn’t get a chance to participate in our Closed Alpha (or if you did, but you’re hungry for MORE), this is your chance to play. Come and meet the Sold Out team and get hands on with the game – we can’t wait to hear what you think!

“How Will I Be Able to Play Core Keeper at EGX?”

We’ll have some PCs set up in a dedicated area of the Rezzed Zone where you can play our Core Keeper Closed Alpha live at EGX. Simply look out for stalls featuring the Core Keeper branding and chat to one of our representatives to play. We’ll be doing our best to make sure that you all get an fair amount of time with the game, but we also anticipate that lots of people will want to play, so we recommend stopping by as soon as possible.

If you haven’t got your EGX London tickets yet, you can find out more about the event and pick one up HERE.

“What’s Is the Closed Alpha?”

Our Closed Alpha is a little bit like an early build and demo of the game rolled into one. It’s not the full version of the game, but you’ll be able to experience a lot of what Core Keeper has to offer in a fleshed out, procedurally generated underground world and take on our first two bosses!

We’ve had plenty of feedback on the Closed Alpha so far – and we’re going to be working hard on balancing the game and incorporating our community’s feedback – so please note that there’s lots that we’ll be updating in the next build of the game.

What you can expect in the Closed Alpha build is:

A gorgeous and mysterious underground world with unique biomes and lots to explore.
The ability to play alone or in up to eight-player multiplayer.
An array of weird and wonderful creatures, some friendly, some…not so much.
Plenty of ancient relics to uncover while mining.
Fascinating plant life, from the humble Glow Tulip to the powerful Bomb Pepper, and the ability to farm crops and combine them into recipes for powerful buffs!
The opportunity to build bases all over the underground and decorate them to your liking.
GIANT monsters just waiting to be defeated.

“How do I Become a Part of the Core Keeper Community?”

We’re glad you asked! Our community members are the first to hear when we’ve got news and updates or the opportunity to play the game before it launches in Early Access via something like a Closed Alpha. You can become a part of the Core Keeper community by joining our Discord at the link HERE.

Make sure you read the server rules and react with the right emoji to gain access to the full version of the server and connect with your fellow Explorers.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at EGX, and we can’t wait to bring you even more Core Keeper announcements soon!

Animal Rivals: Up In The Air is a party game with ridiculous graphics. The game will let you dive into racing courses set in the air. Invite your friends and get together into the addictive quadratic animals' world!
The game will offer over 100 customizable parts for you to create the most unique airplane this world has ever seen.

You will have an opportunity to choose between 9 animal characters. Each one of them will have its own special weapon not available for the others. Choose between predators like the shark, the tiger, the lazy lion or the muscular rat.

Garden of Mooj - Full Release

Garden Of Mooj - kcfos

Hey everyone,
I'm very excited to share the full release build of Garden of Mooj. It's been over 2 years of development in early access and the game is ready for full release. There's also a new trailer!

New Content

Payson will now give you their keystone to the final battle the day after completing their boat quest.
Added the Alpha and Omega mooj aspects. To evolve into them, mooj need either 200+ Light or 200+ dark, respectively.
The Alpha mooj will attack all enemies in range simultaneously.
The Omega mooj will heal itself %25 of damage dealt.
Collecting all three keystones will unlock the final battle and ultimately the ending to the game. Be warned, the fight is harder than anything seen before.
After completing the battle you can choose to refight the final boss by talking to Rosie again.
Added 4 new achievements

Changes
Updated mooj pattern generation. Mooj will now no longer have a seam in their pattern on one side. Mooj should also generate more varied patterns.
Garden plants now have their own coloring for each plant
Rare enemies will now begin spawning on night 3 and beyond, further unlocks beginning on night 6 and 9 for each garden. Before they unlocked after nights 5,10,15
Can now recall mooj even when the altar is occupied.
Added crawfish, catfish, butternut squash, and amanita mushrooms. All of which spawn in the twilight cavern.
Heavily increased the amount of food that spawns in the cavern each day.
Added the elephant hat, it can be found in a secret area.
Added localization for Chinese, Spanish, and Russian. These aren’t full translations, item names and descriptions aren’t translated, but dialogue, important UI, and everything needed to complete the game is translated.
Increased the distance needed to stop a mooj from eating, as well as the proximity required to enter the eating state. This makes it less likely for mooj to get stuck eating.
Payson now has their own speech sound
Mooj will need to be slightly more hungry (from 140/200 to 175/200) for them to enter the grumpy state.
Mooj relics have been reworked. Instead of requiring a percentage proximity to specific colors, they require mooj to have above a required level of stats (Strength, Intelligence, Agility, Light, Dark).

Bugs and Other
Fixed a bug where mooj wouldn’t be saved correctly when recalled from outside the garden
Fixed a bug where mooj would not save while evolving and being milked.
Fixed a bug where the race countdown sound wasn’t being affected by the volume setting
Fixed an issue where unpausing the game in the toll booth panel wouldn’t close the toll panel
Cloning Lab will now properly clone mooj aspects
Failing to defeat all wolves in Rosie’s wolf attack quest before the end of the night will now stop the quest from progressing, and you will need to try again.
Lola’s final ritual quest will now proceed normally even if you’re in sandbox mode.
Moved the sandbox mode toggle into the options menu.
Mooj will now spend less time sleeping. They will also spend more time awake between rests
Lowered the cost to unlock the Lost Lagoon from 200 to 100.
Driftwood now have pickup sounds
Increased Mooj info UI size
Apple pies and cherry pies are now more valuable, to reflect the requirement of a cooking pot to make them
Banana bread is more valuable

Please post any bugs / suggestions in the comments or forums.

Best,
Kcfos
