Creativerse R44 - The Industrial Update

Summertime is nearly here, and Pebble’s kicking the season off with a Super Summer Sandcastle Contest!

As you already know, Pebble is a renowned sandcastle expert and art lover. Your challenge is simple: build the ultimate sandcastle (in Creativerse!), or create some Creativerse fan art that’ll fill Pebble’s thorax with summer spirit!


Build a sandcastle in Creativerse and submit your best screenshots, or create and submit some summer-inspired Creativerse fan art.

We’ll pick our favorite TEN submissions and award the creators with:

• A Creativerse Pro Steam DLC key;
  
• a Welcome Bundle Steam DLC key;
  
• and a Bucket of Coins!

• Post your entry (a link to your sandcastle screenshots or summer-inspired Creativerse fan art) on the official contest thread on our Steam forums (in other words, here!);
  
• or Tweet us your entry @creativersegame including the hashtag #CreativerseContest along with your Steam ID (and make sure you’re following us so we can DM the winner).

• Deadline for entries is 6/21/2017 at 12pm CST.
  
• Limit one entry per person.
  
• You’re free to work together with others, but the prize will go to the person that submits the winning entry.
  
• Sandcastles don’t have to be made completely of sand, but they should definitely *look* like a sandcastle.
  
• You don't have to, but you can submit up to five (5) screenshots to show off your sandcastle build.
  
• Your sandcastle builds should make us say "wow!" Creativity, design, and aesthetics matter.
  
• Screenshots and artwork will be judged and winners selected by Playful and a scuttle of discerning Pebbles. (Turns out “scuttle” is the scientific name for a group of Pebbles. Who knew?)
  
• Make sure you’ve registered your e-mail in Creativerse so we can contact you if you win.
  
• Neither employees and family of employees of Playful nor Pebble’s Uncle Rockster are eligible to participate and win.
  
• No purchase necessary; purchase does not enhance chance of winning.
  
• Void where prohibited.

Greetings, Creators!

We're excited to introduce the Welcome Bundle - a brand new DLC stacked with coins and rare recipes. It's a perfect pick for new players or anyone that appreciates a stellar deal.

And by popular demand, we've added corner versions for all the remaining slab and slope sets (like dirt and grass). Henceforth let no dirt hut be un-cornered!

This is a relatively small update, but it's got some important fixes (we bribed your pets to make sure they don't mysteriously disappear so often), and we've got plenty more exciting stuff on the horizon!

• Additional corner blocks for these blocks:
  
  • Grass Slope and Stairs
    
  • Dirt Slope and Stairs
    
  • Peakstone Slope and Stairs
    
  • Bedrock Slope and Stairs

  • 1500 coins
    
  • 5 rare crafting recipes
    
    • Gold Sword
      
      • About as sharp and choppy as an iron sword, but gold-plated!
    • Gold Potion
      
    • 3 Unique Decorative Gold Blocks
  • over 900 bundled blocks and items!

• Warmworm and Hotfoot now sometimes drop iron ore
  
• Added store hotkey to remap list
  
• Pets default to follow when tamed
  
• Basic bed now has unique color
  
• Added basic option to disable corruption (both global for world, and for individual claims, defaults to off in both cases)
  
• Corruption balance adjustments
  
  • Reduced radius of corruption bomb
    
  • Corrupted forests of different wood types can now be purified
    
  • Increased corruption resistance of all wood types
• Added break effect / animation when tool breaks
  
• Additional protection against many cheats
  
• “Bundles” header in store now called “Items”
  
• Block kits and bundles now auto-sort to the top of the inventory
  
• Existing lumite-strength Gold Sword renamed Legendary Gold Sword
  
• Tweaks to craft description UI

• Fixes for pets mysteriously vanishing when wandering
  
• Fixed many cases of visual sparkling, especially in first cave layer
  
• World chats that incorrectly attributed TNT detonations fixed
  
• Fix for machine connection hotspot issues when rotating some machines
  
• Screenshots now work for 4K resolutions
  
• Menu of resolution options now scrolls for monitors that support lots of resolutions

Whether you're a Creati-veteran or discovering the world of Creativerse for the very first time (in which case, try to find some shelter before nightfall - you’ll thank us later), we're thrilled to have you along for the ride!

P.S. For a glimpse at what comes next, don't miss this blog post by our game director.
