Hello again, Creatifriends!

We had such a great time unleashing R33 last week, we decided we couldn't wait to do it again. R33 1/2 brings new recipes (wire up a Corrupt Obelisk, if you dare...), permissions improvements, and more bugfixes than you can shake a Night Twiggy at. Check it out!

• New items!
  
  • Campfire - unlocks on Coal Torch (works with machines!)
    
  • Iron Fire Pit - unlocks on Iron Wall
    
  • Wood Trap Door - unlocks on Wood Door (works with machines!)

  • Stone Plaque - unlocks on Stone Sign

• New /ignoreall command - ignores all chat
  
• Added name option to admin commands (examples: “/ban Jimmy”, “/kick 5 Jim”)
  
  • Includes partial matching (“/kick Jim” will bring up both Jimmy and Jim)

• Lots of fixes to make permissions work more intuitively and give claim owners more control over blocks within their claims, even if they didn’t place them
  
• Permissions fixes to allow machine interaction access inside claims for non-builders

• Significant lighting bugfixes for areas with lots of lights
  
• Fix for large number of teleporters causing major unexplained problems in worlds
  
• Fix for missing Hidden Temple chest recipe (introduced in R33)

• Fix for saving name if you press save while editing the name on the wiring UI.
  
• Fixed issue preventing players who haven’t played in 60 days from being sent to clients (and not showing up in admin panels, etc)
  
• Fixed items falling through pressure plates and LEDs if you drop them with the hotkey (default z)

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=733755856

2016 is the year of Creativerse!

When the game debuted in early access almost 2 years ago, we were upfront that it would ultimately be free to play so we could hopefully reach the largest possible audience. Since then we’ve been experimenting with selling various items in our store. Now, as we near the end of our time in early access, we’ve applied what we’ve learned to come up with something we think is a pretty great value for you guys.

It’s called Creativerse Pro.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=733755856
Designed for players looking to maximize their experience in the game, going Pro unlocks fun toys like the Glider and Flashlight, plus a bigger inventory, double stamina and a bunch of nifty new world options (e.g. low gravity worlds, different skybox options, faster growth, fewer mobs, and more). We’ll also add new features to Pro over time.

The best part is it aligns with our free to play philosophy of avoiding “pay to play” or “pay to win” mechanics. None of the extras that come with Pro membership are required to enjoy the core game.

Creativerse Pro will be available in R33 for a one-time price of $19.99. But guess what? As a way of saying thank you to our supporters, we’re giving Pro free to all of our paid early access backers!
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=733758364
To set Creativerse Pro up for success, we had to make two changes to how the game works for free players: 1) free players will be limited to owning one world, and 2) free players will no longer have the ability to set advanced options for their world. (Loophole alert: if you have a friend with Pro membership, you can play in their world and enjoy all the nifty new world settings.) We acknowledge these changes may be controversial. Keep in mind, the cost of keeping these servers running, adding new features, and continually squashing bugs is significant. These changes will help us continue to grow that effort.

We’re very excited to see the reaction to Creativerse Pro when it launches! As always, please share your feedback with us and thanks for playing Creativerse!

–The Playful Team

P.S. To further clarify our approach to free-to-play development, here’s a concrete example: we’ve been teasing a machine system that’s also launching in R33. This new feature is what we consider part of the core game experience and therefore freely available for all players to enjoy.

Howdy folks. R32 is a smaller update than usual, but it packs a quite a punch. There’s a lot of cool stuff to check out in the store, like new Hidden Temple accessories and content, plus two new related blueprints, all of which are guaranteed to have you itching for a bag of sand. Aside from that, there’s a whole slew of improvements and bugfixes that’ll make your Creativersing much more pleasant.

P.S. Learn some unusual building techniques in our our new tips video.

Hi Creatifriends!

Some of the best parts of Creativerse have been shaped by your feedback, so we're excited to announce yet another awesome feature based on your suggestions: character customization! Click the settings icon on the main menu to put your own unique spin on your Creativerse character.
