Creativerse - PlayfulDavid
Y’all.

These entries were so good.

Last month, we asked you to tell us whether you were an indoor or outdoor person, and you rose to the occasion by submitting some of our favorite Creativerse screenshots ever. It’s always hard to pick the winners, but this one was especially challenging.

As it turns out, a lot of you are outside people. In fact, there were so many outside entries that we quickly realized we couldn’t do justice to the build-off without adding a third category: Found Shots. These are outdoor shots that were cool but mostly untouched from the original world template.

That makes a total of 15 winners: 5 outdoor shots, 5 indoor shots, and 5 found outdoors shots. Here they are...

Outside


Pinch me, I'm dreaming. Seriously, I had to do a double take with this one. "Is that actually Creativerse?" It is. It's also a masterclass in building, shot composition, and use of color.


Mordred came in 2nd for most entries submitted (congrats A1WEND1L for 1st), but that's cool -- we enjoyed every one of them. Especially this glorious shot from their series paying homage to Quentin Tarantino.


I have no idea what otherworldly wizardry Sir Marvin and his friends get up to, but whatever it is, I would like to know more dot gif. RSoM LuckySheep can play the creative cam like Miles Davis played the trumpet.


I've seen a lot of castle builds over the years, so it takes a lot to raise my eyebrow at another one, but I love the framing here, as well as the seamless blending with a mountain. The design is cool, and all that reinforced iron makes me feel like I'd have a fighting chance against a horde of invading Things.


The mix of intimate detail and grand scale in this one is magical: the way the horizon draws the eye inward, from the detailed outer edges to the vast horizon that shrinks to a teeny dot in a rule of thirds sweet spot...chef's kiss


Inside

omarajbere31766 - Inside the Cave of Wonders

This one is deceptively simple, but I love the use of color. I also love omarajbere's intriguing description: "Take a cave or cavern. Place all different styles of lights about it and put a lot of ice or snow on the ceiling and alternately throw fire bombs and freeze bombs at it and see what happens." What happens!? I must know!

єäяєɴd3ℓ - Salon Fantaisie

єäяєɴd3ℓ submitted a whole bunch of amazing shots, but I love the in-game items to arc sign pixel art ratio in this. I also want to go to there. You can build it yourself with this awesome blueprint.

AlexStudio - Дося in home

This is like a really well done selfie but in Creativerse. I feel like I know a lot about this character that AlexStudio's created. Actually scratch that, all I know is they have good taste and an enigmatic energy that intrigues me.


I've always been skeptical of the border effect in the creative cam (which sometimes looks like what I call "ugly borderlands") but this has convinced me it can be great. The lighting, block choices, and filters all come together for a really cozy but unique interior. Build it yourself with this blueprint.

Hororogoro - In the Library

The FOV slider in the creative cam can get pretty crazy, but this is the perfect use of sliding it up to 11. There's so much detail packed in, and the edges are far enough away that they don't look super warped. This looks like a nice place to feel guilty about not reading a book while I browse my phone.


Outside (Found)


If you've ever tried to capture an action shot of other players doing cool stuff (or in my case, footage for the game's trailer captured from 3 computers using both hands and my foot), you know how hard it can be. Epic shot!


I like this one a lot. I almost didn't pick it because...well, it's a visual glitch. But Entuland convinced me: "Clever play of the 'inside' part of the theme, this is a shot taken from inside the terrain, exploiting the see-through when you are looking at textures from the 'wrong end.'" Also it looks cool.


I can totally see Leafi in there. From the description: "There are two rivers coming out of his eye's like tears so I called them Leafi Tear River." Packaging a fun idea along with a striking shot makes this landscape pic a winner.


It's a great shot of a great spot in a great game. I love it!


The technical limitations of the game's draw distance sometimes distracts from an otherwise great shot (speaking of which, we're looking at adding fog to obscure the jagged edges of unloaded chunks). This shot, however, uses that limitation to its benefit, making the world look like it's a tiny planet you could circumnavigate on a day hike.

ːcreatiblockː

Congratulations to the winners, who now have the rare and elusive Trophy Gauntlets (including Gold, Silver, and Bronze). Look to see their shots in a loading screen near you.

Thanks to everyone who participated! This was a lot of fun, and don’t forget: if you submitted something, you'll find a handful of Qbits waiting for you in your inventory! Go buy yourself a nice blueprint kit.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world...

Indoor people and outdoor people!

Are you more of an indoor person? Do you like organizing your spaces with just the right combination of decor and color and making everything super cozy and chill...then spending the afternoon by the fire? Or do you prefer to be outdoors, exploring, adventuring far out into the horizon, slaying ferocious beasts, and/or building something epic?

Maybe you’re a little bit of both.

But deep down, everyone leans one way or the other.

So look deep inside yourself, find out which way you lean, and show us who you are!

Specifically, post a screenshot of something you’ve made that is either an interior shot or an exterior shot. Or, if you found a particularly interesting, untouched spot in your world, fire up the Creative Camera (instructions below) and make the shot yours.

Post your screenshot on our Steam’s Artwork hub with the hashtag #insideoutside before the deadline, and we’ll reward you with a pack of 5 Qbits just for participating!

And ten participants will be chosen as winners, receiving as bonus prizes: 1) 300 coins, and 2) the rare, elusive Trophy Gauntlet set, featuring Gold, Silver, and Bronze variants (these are not available in the store).

P.S. we’ll be adding your entries to the in-game loading screens throughout the event!

Howdy Creators!

Let me tell you a tale about the old west. No, not that one. I’m talking about the wild wild west of Creativerse, circa 2015, when we first added homesteading to the game. Since then, y’all have enjoyed taming and naming pets, farming and harvesting crops, and making and tasting all sorts of delicious foodstuffs. Now, as we celebrate the 5.583th anniversary of that update, we’re adding some items to really bring out the frontier in your worlds.

Whether you’re a cowboy, pioneer, farmer, rancher, outlaw, rugged individual who prefers seeing the world through sepia-tinted glasses, or just a Creativerse fan who likes new stuff, you’ll find something to enjoy. Specifically, you can find them by searching for "western" in the Creator Mode menu, or in the regular old crafting menu. Be prepared to head out to the "frontier" for some of the ingredients (or you can grab a starter pack from the store).

The best part: all recipes are 100% free! Yeeeeeehaw!
