Greetings Creators,

The patch notes for the new “Questing with QB” update are below, but we wanted to take this chance to say hello and let you know that the team is hard at work on features and fun for Creativerse.

We have content and improvements planned out that we will deliver over the next few months and even years. We are planning ahead for features and upgrades, both small and large.

We’ll be talking more about our plans later in May, but I will say that our long-term plans are robust, and that we are very excited to keep working on Creativerse serving you as players.

To be fair to new players, we’re going to start calling Creativerse a “live open beta” until we’re finished adding all the new stuff we have planned. This label won’t change anything about your play experience or how we add content the game; it’s simply a way to convey to our newest players how much new stuff is still coming along the pipeline and that the game is far from finished.

We hope you enjoy the new Codex feature, including our first batch of quests for Creativerse and first set of badges. And we hope you enjoy meeting QB. It’s the start of a long and beautiful friendship and you should expect to see more of QB in the future.

We also hope you enjoy the new Finite Gauntlet costume from the store. We appreciate everyone who picks up this item, as it helps us pay our hard-working developers so they can afford more keyboards, rainbow sherbet, and movie tickets.

And finally, we want to thank our “MVP” sneak preview players and anyone who sends us feedback on the game. We track all your feedback and constantly reference it to help us make the best possible decisions for Creativerse.

We think you’re going to love the big and small updates we have planned for Creativerse over the next few months and years, and we’re so excited to bring them to you.

With much love,

The Creativerse Team

• Introducing QB!
  
  • QB is so excited to be your new mentor, advisor, and very best Creati-friend.

  • New players will now earn their free coins by completing quests. The number has been raised from 300 to 350 total.

• New Playful Blueprint: Cozy Cottage

• Fix for the weapon tutorial firing at inappropriate times
  
• Fixed cornerstones not being granted with blueprint kit purchases
  
• Minor fix to make Tab key more responsive and consistent in menus

Creativerse R54 - Questing with QB

• Several nonfunctional badge perks should now work beautifully

• Partial fix for framerate hitching

Creativerse R54.5

Greetings, Creators!

This morning’s update features another small batch of incremental changes as we ramp up to some heavy-duty updates ahead. The bulk of this update is under the hood, hidden beneath the surface like a submerged Thing raising its single eye, periscope-like, up from the corrupted depths... its disturbing tangle of limbs lurking invisible beneath the calm irradiated surface, and... what were we talking about again?

Oh yeah, new loading screens! We’re overjoyed to be able to kick the old savannah biome loading screen to the curb in favor of ten stunning screenshots submitted by our brilliant community. You might find yourself teleporting around and loading up worlds for no reason other than to gaze upon them!

• Ten new loading screens
  
  • These were the winning entries from the Take Your Best Shot community contest!

• Fix for sounds playing on some models (like Haunted Idols) inside decorative containers
  
• Fix for case where an announcement that world owner activated a seasonal encounter would appear, but the encounter itself wouldn’t
  
• Fix bug where machine hotspots sometimes wouldn’t show up with the wiring tool equipped
  
• Fix for “Reject All” on the map claim screen actually accepting all instead
  
• Fences no longer connect to placemats, just like in real life

Greetings, Creators!

Over the last few years, we’ve seen our community share some truly impressive screenshots. Now it’s time to raise the bar and celebrate screenshots that go beyond ”impressive” all the way to “basically melts Steam’s servers to sludge with pure Creativerse awesomeness.”

Your challenge: capture a Creativerse moment that’s so breathtaking, thrilling, hilarious, frightful, or just plain amazing that it should be part of the game forever. That’s right - ten winning screenshots will be added to Creativerse as loading screens!


GRAND PRIZE (10) - Ten grand prize winners will each receive:

• Ultra-Rare Trophy Gauntlet Skin;
  
  • YOUR CHOICE: Gold, Silver, Bronze
• a Steam key for Creativerse Pro;
  
• 2500 coins;
  
• and your screenshot will be added to the game as a new loading screen!

• Take a screenshot in Creativerse, upload it, and post the link to this forum thread;
  
• Or tweet your screenshot using the hashtag #CreativerseContest.
  
  • Make sure you’re following us (@creativersegame) so we can DM the winner.

Make us laugh. Make us cry. Blow our minds with an epic build, or soothe our souls with a serene landscape. Selfies, group portraits, Pigsy glamour shots… anything goes! Surprise us with a screenshot that you would love to see as a Creativerse loading screen!

• The deadline for entries is 11:59 AM CST on Monday, February 19, 2018
  
• Important: screenshots must be exactly 1920x1080 resolution.
  
  • This is so the screenshot will work as a loading screen
• Screenshots must be in the PNG or JPG format.
  
  • The Steam screenshot tool uses JPG and the Creativerse camera tool uses PNG, so if you use either of those, you’re probably good.
• No UI; use the /hud command to hide the interface and and get a clear shot.
  
• No Photoshop; we want 100% all-natural unedited screenshots.
  
• No copyrighted stuff; this is not the time to share a screenshot from your Deadpool and Elsa go to Hogwarts adventure (although you should totally show that to us some other time).
  
• Limit one screenshot entered per person. Take your best shot and make it count!
  
• Make sure you’ve registered your email address in Creativerse so we can contact you if you win.
  
• No purchase necessary; purchase does not enhance chance of winning.
  
• Void where prohibited.

Q: Do I have to build everything in my screenshot myself?
A: Nope! This is a screenshot contest, not a building contest. But it is considered good manners to ask permission before snapping a shot of someone else’s build.

Q: Do I need to add the Creativerse logo to my screenshot?
A: Nope, we’ll take care of that for the winning shots.

Q: How do I upload a screenshot to Steam?
A: Follow this guide: How to upload a screenshot to Steam.

Q: Can I use something other than Steam (like imgur) to upload my screenshot?
A: Sure, as long as we don’t need a special account or anything to access it.

Q: Got any tips?
A: If possible, crank your draw distance and other visual options all the way up -- even if it’s just for the one second you need to snap a screenshot.

Q: Cool! Any more tips?
A: Did you know Creativerse has a built-in camera tool? It drops PNG format screenshots straight into a folder on your desktop. The default camera key is ‘p’ -- just be sure your game’s resolution is set to 1920x1080 so your shots are loading screen-ready.

Q: DELICIOUS! FEED TO ME EVEN MORE OF THESE HELPFUL TIPS!
A: Uh… good luck!

Creativerse R51 is a Pebble-sized batch of all the bugfixes and improvements that have piled up as we've been working on some bigger features & fixes for the future. We're gonna let those Rockster-sized improvements continue to simmer for a while longer, but in the meantime there's still plenty to enjoy in this modest Pebble of a patch.

Blocky the Snowman, a leftover brand new holiday decoration, has been a little cranky since he missed out on all the holiday festivities. Give him some sharp weapons to hold so he can fully express his surly brand of holiday spirit!

Plus we heard your feedback that it took too dang long to tame, wash, and harvest pets, so we sliced all those times in half with the fabled Lumite Sword of Balancing... or maybe Chase the designer changed three numbers in a data file. There's really no way to be certain.

• New decorative & weapon display item: Blocky the Snowman!

• Pet taming, washing, and harvesting times cut in half
  
• Added opt-out option for newsletters when validating e-mail

• Fixed recent issues with Creativerse Pro occasionally vanishing for a bit
  
• Costume icons now unified to face the same way. Finally!
  
• End of World blocks can no longer be phased and replaced
  
• Fix for other players with female characters playing male voices
  
• Fix for multiple music box sounds not starting if they started on the same frame (via machine activation for example)
  
• Sent the Holiday Hat costume to the dry cleaners - it came back cleaner and brighter
  
• Fix for blueprints extending higher than world height causing lag
  
• Very large blueprints now show up in-world preview (but may still show as incomplete depending on the size)
  
• Fixed broken email and help buttons on main menu
  
• Fix for that 1-pixel UI gap on Message of the Day panel that was driving everyone crazy
  
• Fix for loot chests in decorative containers causing the container UI to open repeatedly
  
• Fix for certain block types (like holiday lights) to correctly show random variants

Creativerse R51 - A Pebble-Sized Update
