Housewarming Update (v1.5) Now Available!

Greetings adventurers! It has been awhile since we spoke last and I'm excited to bring good news - Housewarming (v1.5) is now available!

In Housewarming the focus has been on improving building and adding an incentive to construct a base. You will also find many new home items and several new monsters to fend off.

After learning how resourceful adventurers are the NPCs immediately started making requests. Now they want their own room and will even request items to furnish it. Upon completing these requests they will give you various bonuses through their services such as a discount. Get to building!

With the focus on building this update I wanted to make the experience easier and more enjoyable. A placement grid has been added so you can easily see how things line up while building. Speaking of lining things up, item placement will now snap to the grid (this can be turned off in the settings). Grass is also automatically replaced when attempting to build on it.

Tons of new building related items have been added such as fences, scaffolding and stone furniture. Build away but be wary for there are new creatures lurking about. Most of these will be familiar as they are variations of existing monsters but be careful for their attacks do vary. Oh and be watchful for monsters sense have been heightened and will gravitate towards players now.

Several other changes and bug fixes have been made as well. You can view the 1.5 changelog here.

To squelch any concerns, I will be continuing Crea development for the forseeable furture. I will be attempting to balance working on Crea as well as this new secret project I started with Jonatan. During this time updates will be a little slower than before but please still look forward to them. Thank you for your continued support!

Update and Sweden

Greetings Adventurers! Time has flown by since the last announcement and I wanted to update everyone on what is going on.

First off, the NPC update has sadly been delayed due to real life taking over. Unfortunately it is going to be another two months before I will be able to release it. Sorry! I will try to get a smaller patch out in the meantime to fix any major issues. Apologies for not being around for the few weeks to reply. I'm going to try to be better at balancing that.

Over the last few weeks I have been busy selling many of my possessions, packing up my apartment, and moving everything into storage 600 miles south of Portland in Northern California. This is all with Kelley's help and baby Kaelie... not so much help. Since arriving in California we've been visiting family and friends this last week and now we are off on a big adventure - to Sweden!

For those keen readers you may remember that the talented Crea artist, Jonatan, is in Sweden. I am going to visit him and we will be starting a new project! That's right, after five and a half years working on Crea I am finally going to be working on something else. We are going to be working on a prototype at first and go from there. My plan is to focus on this new project while in Sweden and once I get back to the States in 6 weeks get back to working on Crea part time. We are excited to be starting something new and I believe that once I return to Crea it will be with a restored vigor.

Again, sorry for the tease on announcing the next update and then delaying it for so long. I hope everyone is still looking forward to it when it does finally land.

Thank you everyone for your continued support!
