we've been busy at work! Most importantly, the guild rewards are in now. You can spend the badges you earned in the assignments on some cool things like a timelapse of how you mined the map (be careful with the "save images" button there, this can take several minutes in a long run).

We also switched to a vulkan based render mode. This should resolve all rendering issues on Mac and might improve performance for most hardware. Older hardware might not support vulkan though. Please let us know if you cannot launch the game because of this. If it happens to many players, we'll provide a vulkan and an opengl version of Dome Keeper in the future.

Here is what's new for v4.0.0.52:

• changed to forward+ renderer
  
• added guild rewards
  
• added additional post run statistics, unlockable as guild reward
  
• added mining timelapse, unlockable as guild reward

We are overly excited to share our next game with you! You read the title right, that's actually the name. It's German and means "planetary defense cannon commander", and that's actually what you do in the game.

The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits.
Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.
The core of the game is shooting down invading space ships. You make tactical decisions and execute detection, shooting and energy procedures like a pro. In between missions you take care of your bunker and try to navigate the different factions in the game, all wanting to use you for their purposes.

Check out the steam page to get more infos! If it looks interesting to you, please wishlist the game, it really helps us out!
