Creativerse - PlayfulDavid
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.

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.

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!
