Steam’s hit survival game Core Keeper now comes with improved visuals, a ton of new features like playable instruments and better customization, and a few nods to Zelda, especially Ocarina of Time, thanks to a new Core Keeper update which also adds something sweet. seasonal content just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Core Keeper’s “Quality of Love” update begins by dramatically improving sandbox play with improved shadows and lighting. Particular attention has been paid to underground areas, with more realistic light sources, better shadow diffusion and new light-emitting surfaces.
The soft neons and bright oranges that define the game’s visuals now bounce off the screen more believable, casting deeper and more varied shadows. Developer Pugstorm has also created a new rendering pipeline to make Core Keeper look better than ever. You can see the new version of the game in the following video.
