Paradiso is a dreamworld where the lost find themselves trapped together.
These people are known as The Marked, and are cursed to have their personal demons and traumas come to life as bloodthirsty monsters called Nightmares. The Marked carry the power to use Arias, combat magic rooted in the very essence of their being.
Michael
Michael is Serah’s older brother, who was separated from her long ago. Silent and reserved, he carries scars on his body and within his heart from his history with The Sanctum. He also carries Pyra, the Aria of Flame.
Madeleine
Madeleine is an older Marked who has wandered Paradiso for a long time. She carries the pain and wrath of her past compatriots, who succumbed to the Curse of the Mark and became Nightmares. She knows how to fight back against the encroaching Corruption, and can teach Christian how to resist it with Grace. She carries Aether, the Final Mantra.
Naomi
While not visibly Marked, Naomi senses a kinship with Christian that compels her to aid his cause. She appears incapable of wielding an Aria, but her indomitable sense of justice gives her the strength to confront a mysterious past and uncertain future.
Lucah
Lucah escaped from the Dream when they came to accept their nonbinary identity and their love of Christian. While now absent from the Dream, faint echoes of their presence continue to haunt Paradiso, and Christian’s heart.
Christian’s quest to challenge the Faiths will intersect with the lives and stories of the Marked.
Death of a Wish descends on March 11th, 2024. You can wishlist it now on Steam.
Thank you all for showing When the Light Dies so much love and interest over these past few months. We’ve been reading through your demo feedback and are currently working on creating a tutorial stage to help onboard new players, alongside various other quality of life improvements.
Today we have some other big news to share! When the Light Dies will be launching into Early Access on 28th March 2024, that’s just 4 weeks away!
So why Early access?
This game is ultimately a bit of an experiment for our small team and going through Early Access will allow us to work closely with our community and implement feedback incrementally to make the game the best it can be.
We’re planning to be in Early Access for a minimum of six months to give us plenty of time to add more of everything, new features and mechanics ranging from additional abilities, weapon types, and enemies to gripping story elements for you to uncover.
Soon, we plan on providing a transparent roadmap for you to follow our progress through Early Access until the full release.
How can I give feedback?
We plan on connecting with our community through Steam discussion threads and by monitoring comments on all other social media platforms. We will also be setting up a When the Light Dies Discord for you to join, leave feedback, and chat to other players!
Again, thank you for your support so far, we can't wait to take you on our Early Access journey when we launch on the 28th March!
The support and excitement in the final run up to release has been overwhelming. We've had fan art, deep lore discussions, pitches for future mechanics and seen so much more interest in the game than we had ever imagined.
The GUARDS! team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has wishlisted the game, played the demo, given us feedback, kicked down doors, hit perps with frying pans and generally been a part of this new community. THANK YOU!
Finally, after a year of hard work GUARDS! is OUT NOW and it is time to unleash you all upon the wretched streets of New Alestead!
Vanguard Supporter Pack and Bundle!
At your request, we have created a supporter DLC pack for the game! To be 100% crystal clear, these are purely cosmetic items that are simply a way for you to show a little extra support to the dev team. There will be no Pay to Win shenanigans on our watch!
As a result, we have also added a bundle that contains the base game and the Vanguard supporter pack with an associated discount applied. The discount means you essentially get the Vanguard Supporter DLC for ~50% of its usual price.
So... now you can bust crime in style with these, very regal, weapon and armor skins.
Further Support
For answering general support queries, we have added a Release day mega-thread over on the discussions that should help you find what you're looking for.
If you find a bug and would like to report it, simply post it in the discussion forum with the tag [BUG] at the start of the post title. That will help us prioritize it quicker (which means it will get fixed quicker!). Or head over to our Discord where we have a dedicated section for bug reports.
The Discord is also great place for us to answer any miscellaneous questions or support requests. If you would like to chat to a member of the dev team directly, that is the best place to contact us.
Finally, if you'd like to support during our final push, since we are self published we rely heavily on word of mouth to introduce people to the game. So tell your friends, share a link to the steam page on discord, or let a streamer who might be interested in the game know about it. We appreciate it!
Can anybody guess why March is our favourite month? It might have something to do with it being our birthday! That's right, Core Keeper is turning two on March 8th, so get your party hats ready, Explorers.
We're counting down the days until our second birthday, which is next Friday, and we just can't wait to get our party on!
Language Update Reminder
The next new update on our roadmap is set to be our Language Update, coming in Spring 2024! We'll be adding FOUR new playable languages to Core Keeper and, while we can't tell you what these are yet, we can tell you that your community requests have definitely had an impact!
"This Sandbox RPG is a Hidden Gem..." by Dxmonick
We had a lot of fun watching this video from Dxmonick. Follow him from his first day in the underground all the way up to his battle with Ra-Akar, summarised into just 12 minutes 34 seconds! Little bit of a content warning for our younger Explorers: This video does contain some swearing!
Update from Owlunae
The talented Owlunae has been kind enough to share an update on the world that we featured in last week's update! This is a closer look at their base and is actually 200 screenshots stitched together. We appreciate the time and effort that must have took, even with the World Snapshot Mod, Owlunae!
Alien Starship
Discord user, MadFoxArtz, showed us their interpretation of a Caveling Starship in Creative Mode! You can check out the full image set in this post on the official Core Keeper Discord.
That's all for this week, Explorers. Until next time, au revoir!
