The feedback that we get shows that there is still some confusion regarding the game business model, especially since our publisher is predominantly known for the free-to-play games, and online games in general are quite often free-to-play nowadays.

We’d like to clarify that Age of Water is a paid game, not a free-to-play title. You’ll be able to make a one-time purchase to get access to the game and play the game campaign without paying anything extra.

Age of Water is not a session-based online PvP game like Crossout or War Thunder, it’s an open world adventure game with particular online features that enrich the gameplay experience. It’s totally possible to follow the story only without engaging in PvP activities or interacting with other players, if you feel like it. On the other hand, you can always invite your friends to have fun together.

Please, feel free to ask any questions via our social media or Steam. We’re closely monitoring your feedback and will be glad to help you understand the game nature better.

Happy holidays, Explorers! We hope you’re all having a fantastic December, whether you celebrate Christmas or are simply looking forward to the start of another year. We’ve had an absolutely fantastic 2023 working on Core Keeper, and we’re beyond excited for our 1.0 and console launch in Summer 2024. In case you missed it, we’ve put together a little timeline of our Early Access journey so far, including all our major and minor updates, crossovers, and seasonal events.



We’ve put a lot of love into Core Keeper this year and we’ve got plenty more to work on as we approach 1.0, but it’s also important for us to take some time to unwind over the Christmas period so that we’re well-rested for the new year. With that in mind, we’re pleased to report that the Pugstorm team’s Christmas vacation starts tomorrow! You can find out a little bit more about some of our plans below, and we’ll be back on the 2nd of January full of energy to crack on with dev work!

This year, Fredrik will be travelling to Northern Sweden to visit his family. We’re sure he’ll be enjoying plenty of good food and festive fun but he’s also keen to get a little more exercise while he’s on vacation – hopefully, it won’t be too cold for him to go on lots of Christmas walks! After lots of socialising and exercise, he plans to spend a little time away from screens this year and get stuck into a Kazuo Ishiguro book or two!

Sven will be heading out to his family forest to fetch a Christmas tree soon, and we honestly couldn’t think of a more wholesome festive activity! There’ll be plenty of family time on the cards, but he’s also looking forward to playing the new Darkest Dungeon 2 DLC and re-reading the Game of Thrones books in preparation for the “upcoming” release!

Julian will also be visiting family this year and is very excited to announce that he’s expecting a new addition around February time. There’s lots to get ready when your first baby is on the way, and he’ll be spending plenty of time preparing for the new arrival. That won’t stop him from having a little fun watching movies, reading through his stack of freshly ordered books, and painting minis of course!

Herman has one thing on his mind this Christmas, and that’s cozy times in front of the fireplace at his Cabin in Dalarna. He’ll be playing plenty of board games with his siblings and is planning on playing Root and starting a new Gloomhaven campaign! He’ll also be learning to fly the B787 Dreamliner in Microsoft Flight Simulator and catching up on the Star Wars series!

We hope that, no matter what your plans are this month, you find plenty of time to unwind and to play games! We may be heading out on vacation, but we’ll still be sharing plenty of activity on our Twitter page, so keep an eye out.

Happy holidays, Kindred!

During the playtest, you’re helping us find several critical issues in Kingsgrave. It took some time, but we fixed them!

Here is the list of changes:

• Fixed an issue where the map shows unexplored territories.
  
• Fixed an issue where push button puzzles work incorrectly.
  
• Fixed an issue where the king isn't visible during the revival.
  
• Fixed an issue where UI elements do not open with a mouse click.
  
• Fixed an issue where the dialogue arrow was aimed at the cartographer while the king was speaking.

We're so grateful for your cooperation. Keep sending feedback, and we’ll do our best to improve the game.

If you haven’t played the playtest yet, feel free to join now and wishlist Kingsgrave:
