Greetings, Creators!

You may have noticed that the team has put out a steady stream of patches up until now, ironing out the wrinkles and swatting bugs left and right. Today's update is similar but on a bigger scale, with particular focus on optimizing the game's performance. This included an engine upgrade (Unity 2018), rebuilding old code, lots of tinkering and elbow grease, and extensive testing on the worst, most min-spec PCs we could find. As a result, the Under the Hood Update offers a smoother, more optimized experience, along with a bunch of smaller improvements and bugfixes. It’s certainly not the end of performance fixes, but it's a pretty good foundation for more.



Updates, Additions, and Tweaks:

• Major Engine upgrade to Unity 2018
  
  • Assorted bug fixes related to engine upgrade
    
  • New graphics quality settings
• Mud is now craftable using Water and Dirt
  
• Water no longer requires any mining cell to be pulled
  
• Max view radius has been increased
  
• Lava and Corrupted Water can now be pulled by Diamond mining cell
  
• Hidden Temple and Medieval Chests no longer require Stone mining cell to pull
  
• Selection highlight in Action Bar is a little wider and easier to see
  
• Gift Boxes are rotatable in any direction
  
• Pet information window is simultaneously dismissed with its associated pet
  
• Lilly pads can now be put in containers
  
• Automatic text censoring logic has been improved to try and help reduce the number of false positives, i.e “Grass”

Bug Fixes:

• Pet bubbles render on top of water correctly
  
• Glowing mushrooms are glowing again
  
• Pets are properly dirty after harvesting (get the soap ready!)
  
• New adventures show up under the New category
  
• Fixed a few issues with Pets disappearing (i.e in some instances, pets that were told to “Stay” would either disappear or wind up clumped together)
  
• Fixed a few issues related to player names (such as when a user is banned)
  
• Decogorgeous Door disappears at the same distance as other doors
  
• Blocky the Snowman is visible when placed in a container
  
• Fixed snow caps spreading and showing up inconsistently (how rude!)
  
• Fixed issues related to recipes not carrying over between worlds properly
  
• Magic Snow Globe should no longer create snow when placed in displays
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented purchase of block kits for a moss block-customized blueprint
  
• All firework types give off sound effects
  
• Sleeping in a bed for the first time no longer triggers a “New Area Discovered” message/ reveals a grid on the map
  
• Mobs can now be attacked while they are in a teleporter
  
• Customizing Curtains no longer create error blocks around them
  
• Frozen Container no longer mysteriously hides itself after leaving and returning to an area
  
• /setspawn should work again
  
• @ and other symbols can now be correctly used in text fields regardless of the keyboard layout
  
• Safe walk now prevents players from walking off slopes
  
• Player preferences are now tied to your Steam account instead of the client

From Jeremy: "Small easter egg, when you save your costume customization in the menu, a high res screen of your character is saved to C:\Users\your user\AppData\LocalLow\PlayfulCorp\Creativerse\avatar

Update: Destiny has spoken, and the winners have been announced here

Hello there, Creators!

A lot has happened in Creativerse since our last screenshot contests: from new avatar costumes to a ton of blocks to new mobs, or as we call them- DrEvilB’s pets... There is quite a lot of new stuff to show off. That got us thinking: what better way than to raise the bar than with some stylish screenshots?

The challenge: We want amazing, thrilling, fantastical, horrific, and just plain awesome screenshots to welcome you, our players, because you deserve nice things. We are going big for 2019 – 15 of your screenshots will be added to Creativerse as loading screens!

• Grand Prize (15): Fifteen grand prize winners will each receive:
  
• $20 Steam Gift Card
  
• Ultra-Rare Trophy Gauntlet Skin
  
  • Your Choice: Gold, Silver, Bronze
• Have your work and name immortalized in the halls of Creativerse fame!

• Take your best shot in Creativerse, upload it, and post the link down below.
  
• OR if you are tweet-savvy, tweet us your screenshot using the hashtag #CreativerseContest
  
• If you go down this route, make sure you are following us @creativersegame or allow public DMs so we can contact the winner.

Think to yourself: what would YOU like to see before you enter your world? What excites, amazes, and inspires. Perhaps there is an epic town you want to showcase, or you capture that perfect Creativerse sunset. Team photos, fancy Miru dance shots… if it delights, it is right!

• The deadline for the entries is 11:59 AM CST Monday, March 25th
  
• Important: screenshots should be 1920X1080 resolution, to transfer their awesomeness into game
  
• Screenshots must be in PNG or JPEG formats
  
• No UI: use the /hud command to hide interface and get a beautiful shot
  
• No copyrighted stuff.
  
• Limit one entry per person: look at this as a photography contest and blow our socks off!
  
• Double check your email is registered in Creativerse so we can contact you if you win.
  
• No purchase necessary

Q: How do I upload a screenshot to Steam?
QB: Easy peasy, Creator!: We wrote a guide on how to upload a screenshot to Steam here.

P.S Creativerse’s camera drops PNG screenshots straight into a folder on your desktop, so that is all taken care of!

Q: Do I need to do anything fancy, like add the Creativerse logo to my photo?
QB: No photoshop skills needed. In fact, we want raw screenshots. You know, full of ART. We will take care of the logo adding for you.

Q: Do I have to build everything in the screenshot?
QB: Imagine this contest is a photography contest. We are looking for angles and new perspectives. (However, it’s good manners to ask before, I always say!)

Q: Neato. Any more tips?
QB: Unleash your inner creator! By the way, you smell nice!

Twas the weeks before the holidays, when all through Creativerse–*record scratch*

Troggington the Abominable Snow Trog stole all Elfi’s toys! Creators, we need your help to take back those presents and save Elfi’s Wonderland.

Things aren’t all cloudy and gray. We’ve added a smorgasbord of festive items to brighten up your world. In fact, this may be our largest content update ever. The simple task of writing these patch notes took forever because the team just kept adding more stuff. They may working on even more blocks right now. Who knows?

But the best part about this update isn’t a matter of what, but how. For the first time in Playful’s history, we are donating a portion of proceeds from the event’s duration to charity, specifically The Make-A-Wish Foundation. That essentially makes this update a fundraiser to support making kids’ life-changing wishes come true. There are two ways you can contribute....

• Purchase our any of our new Elfi's Wonderland bundles from the Creativerse store. Each one comes with the same festive gift wrap block recipes, plus a ton of bonus toys and crafted blocks. Buy one or buy a bunch! 100% of the funds we receive from these bundles will go to Make-A-Wish!
  
• Donate directly to our Make-A-Wish campaign. And to make things interesting, we’re reserving a portion of this update’s new goodies for specific donation goals. Once we reach each goal, all items in that tier unlock for everyone. You can make a donation right now on our fundraising page.

This update has been a labor of love for us. We helped make a wish come true earlier this year when a child wished to see how video games were made. Ever since, we’ve wanted to do more with Make-A-Wish. The entire studio contributed time and effort on this update, and we hope you enjoy it.

Love,
–The Playful Team

Creativerse R55 - The Big Update

Greetings Creators,

The patch notes for the new “Questing with QB” update are below, but we wanted to take this chance to say hello and let you know that the team is hard at work on features and fun for Creativerse.

We have content and improvements planned out that we will deliver over the next few months and even years. We are planning ahead for features and upgrades, both small and large.

We’ll be talking more about our plans later in May, but I will say that our long-term plans are robust, and that we are very excited to keep working on Creativerse serving you as players.

To be fair to new players, we’re going to start calling Creativerse a “live open beta” until we’re finished adding all the new stuff we have planned. This label won’t change anything about your play experience or how we add content the game; it’s simply a way to convey to our newest players how much new stuff is still coming along the pipeline and that the game is far from finished.

We hope you enjoy the new Codex feature, including our first batch of quests for Creativerse and first set of badges. And we hope you enjoy meeting QB. It’s the start of a long and beautiful friendship and you should expect to see more of QB in the future.

We also hope you enjoy the new Finite Gauntlet costume from the store. We appreciate everyone who picks up this item, as it helps us pay our hard-working developers so they can afford more keyboards, rainbow sherbet, and movie tickets.

And finally, we want to thank our “MVP” sneak preview players and anyone who sends us feedback on the game. We track all your feedback and constantly reference it to help us make the best possible decisions for Creativerse.

We think you’re going to love the big and small updates we have planned for Creativerse over the next few months and years, and we’re so excited to bring them to you.

With much love,

The Creativerse Team

Creativerse R54.5

Greetings, Creators!

This morning’s update features another small batch of incremental changes as we ramp up to some heavy-duty updates ahead. The bulk of this update is under the hood, hidden beneath the surface like a submerged Thing raising its single eye, periscope-like, up from the corrupted depths... its disturbing tangle of limbs lurking invisible beneath the calm irradiated surface, and... what were we talking about again?

Oh yeah, new loading screens! We’re overjoyed to be able to kick the old savannah biome loading screen to the curb in favor of ten stunning screenshots submitted by our brilliant community. You might find yourself teleporting around and loading up worlds for no reason other than to gaze upon them!

• Ten new loading screens
  
  • These were the winning entries from the Take Your Best Shot community contest!

• Fix for sounds playing on some models (like Haunted Idols) inside decorative containers
  
• Fix for case where an announcement that world owner activated a seasonal encounter would appear, but the encounter itself wouldn’t
  
• Fix bug where machine hotspots sometimes wouldn’t show up with the wiring tool equipped
  
• Fix for “Reject All” on the map claim screen actually accepting all instead
  
• Fences no longer connect to placemats, just like in real life
