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?)

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.

• Removed 10 Free Coins a Day button

Greetings! We wanted to give you guys some advanced notice on the fact that the free daily coins button in the store will be going away soon. So everyone get your free coins while you still can!

The button was always intended to be a temporary measure for us to experiment with the store and give you guys a chance to try it out. As part of our preparations for getting the game ready to become free, it's time for that temporary solution to come to an end.

As a reminder, everyone who purchased the game will get $20 dollars worth of in-game currency as soon as the game becomes free! ːsteamhappyː


Update: To clarify, the coins you collect now will persist after the game goes free. So no harm in saving up for a rainy day!

Wanna help us test our servers? Fire up Creativerse and play for a bit! To make it worth your while, we have a limited time offer...this rare sword:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=536151296
Claim one of them by entering RARESWORD in the Creativerse store. But hurry -- the code will only work for 24 hours!

Remember, the game is free to play for everyone this week, right up to Monday morning.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Creatifriends,

Get your arctek plows ready -- there’s a lot to harvest in R23!

The biggest change you’ll notice in this one is our refined hotbar UI, which aims to make equipping the new farming and ranching tools more intuitive. But that’s just the appetizer. The main course is our largest block update yet: a smorgasbord of stairs, roofs and walls to spice up your decor. Feast your eyes upon these...

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=528514093
Good news for anyone playing in Europe -- you can now select servers closer to your crib. We're hoping it helps improve lag in multiplayer (e.g. less delay when friends are pulling blocks). It will only apply to new worlds you create after making the switch. Let us know how it feels if you try it.

A couple noteworthy improvements: 1) We spent a good amount of time refining player movement. Jump around, run up some stairs, walk on some slabs and feel the difference. 2) We've overhauled recipes for power cells, armor, and weapons. Our goal was to better encourage surface exploration in the adventurer progression.

As always, we welcome your insightful feedback on this update!
