Hey Creatifriends!

Welcome to all of the new players who joined us since we became free to play! We’re glad you found us and hope you stick around.

The end of year holidays may have chilled our usual 2-3 week cadence for releases a bit, but on the bright side, they also gave us a chance to try something new: seasonal goodies! There is, quite frankly, a plethora of stuff with which you can deck your halls. Recipes, accessories, a new liquid (molasses), craftable items -- everything but a partridge in a pear tree (would you settle for a Leafi in an Elderwood?). As a cherry on top, we’ve given everyone 450 extra coins, and any new players will start with the same amount. Watch this video to get a taste for all the new stuff…

https://youtu.be/Z-iVlC4rK8s
As usual, our polish strike team found several ways to improve the game, most notably with Blueprints. You can now claim your purchased Blueprints in every world you join! Ladders are also more intuitive to use and now fit in 1x1 wide spaces. And owners and admins of public worlds rejoice! You now possess the ability to promote, demote and ban players who are offline. An unfortunate side effect of this change: you will need to re-grant permissions to players. (Tip: if you’re part of a public world, type “/request” in chat to prompt owners/admins for access.)

R26 will be the last release of the year, and what a year it’s been. A UI overhaul, world v2, farming and ranching, block rotation, going free to play. But guys, that’s nothing compared to what we have planned for 2016!

Happy holidays!

(P.S. When hunting for holiday recipes, focus on cold and "arctic" mobs/areas.)

Creativerse is finally free!

It's time to open the gates and let everyone in. Now’s a great chance to invite all your friends to your world so you can show off your builds, inspiring simultaneous feelings of awe and jealousy.

New in R25 is the ability to purchase coins through your Steam wallet. There’s also four new block packs in the store to spend those coins on. But remember, all you early supporters just received a big coin bonus. P.S. all coins -- your existing and new ones -- have been spiked with a 10x multiplier, ‘cause bigger is better (it’s a tradition here in Texas).

Keep in mind, Creativerse will still be in early access for a while yet, so expect more great things to come in the future. In the short term, we’ll continue to focus on building out the core game.

Finally -- we promised all of you early supporters an exclusive bonus gift. Watch this video to find out what it is! Keep watching for a few hints at what’s coming in Creativerse’s future.

• Creativerse is now FREE for all players!
  
• Coin store enabled -- purchase coins through Steam wallet
  
• Four new decorative premium recipe packs available in the store
  
  • Obsidian
    
  • Furnace
    
  • Diamond
    
  • Lumite
• Additional rare (gold) and uncommon (silver) Keepa spawns
  
• Additional sound effects
  
• Special “Gold Pack” award and final drop of bonus coins granted to existing early access customers!

• Newly placed blueprint cornerstones accessible only to its owner and world owners/admins by default
  
• Overhauled treasure chest loot tables to be more meaningful
  
• Coin quantities and prices multiplied by 10
  
• General server robustification

• Fix for too-rare Keepa spawns
  
• Fix for errors in certain displayed recipe results in cooking station
  
• Fix for quantities not displaying when items dragged into cooking station
  
• Fix for minor visual occlusion issues in certain cases
  
• Certain food buffs are no longer permanent
  
• Pebble attack sound now plays

We’re almost ready to make Creativerse free! Part of Steam’s process for making the switch requires turning off the ability to purchase the game for 24 hours. That will start later today. After that it’ll be free forever!

Then, on Wednesday morning we’ll have extended downtime -- at least 4 hours -- as we work to get things set up on our end. Sorry for the delay, but as consolation when we go back online your bonus coins and early access supporter gifts will be waiting for you, and your friends will have one less excuse to not join the fun.

Hi folks. This is a short update to let you know Creativerse will be free very soon. Three points to keep in mind...

1. If you haven’t bought the game yet, it’s totally cool with us if you’d rather wait; assuming everything goes smoothly, that wait should be less than a week.
   
2. However, there are benefits to purchasing the game before then: you’ll get in-game currency equal to double the cost of the game; AND, you’ll get a few exclusive early-supporter-only items.
   
3. After it's free, the game will still be in early access for a while yet, which means we’ll continue focusing on developing the core elements of the game.

Exciting times ahead!

Hi Creatifriends,

Great news for all you builders and collectors out there. We’ve added 10 new pieces of furniture and 22 new food recipes! We figured the game just wouldn’t be complete without the ability to lounge in style on a Lumite chair while munching on a Tar sandwich. (P.S. your pets just called...they can haz some?)

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543388952
This update also contains the start of a better experience for new players. Our goal is to strike a balance between being mysterious enough that there’s still plenty of discovery, while also gently encouraging new players not familiar with the genre. So there's better item descriptions, a clearer quickbar, and things like that, as well as a new “Janky House” starter blueprint you’ll receive upon creating a world.

We appreciate all the feedback you guys had on the recipe tweaks from R23 and have further refined the balance based on it. Finally, we’ve removed the daily coin button. You can read more about that here.
