Thank you for playing Craftopia. This is the development status report on Craftopia's Seamless World Update!

▼ Current Development Status
• Improvements on Vehicles


We've added "Vehicle Inventory" which you all have been waiting for!

Some vehicles like Motorcycle will have their inventory (in other words: storage space!), you can store excess items while exploring around!

If the vehicle gets destroyed while items are stored in it, a leather bag which contains the stored items will be dropped. So you can keep driving at wild speed!


• Small Biomes Discovered


Redesigning and combining processes of isolated biomes resulted in discovery of small biomes which are different from large ones such as Snowy Mountain, or Volcanic Mountain.

You will find biome-specific materials and mutated goblins that adapted to its environment around new biomes.


• Adding Pet Skills


Your adorable pets will do some more for you in Seamless Map Update!

We've developed various Pet Skills such as Attacking Enemies, Buffing Allies, or Restoring Life.
These skills can be exchanged with one another to customize your pets. This will allow you to have Mono of different styles that meet your play styles and preferences: Mono that hunts mobs to grind, or Mono that is specialized in restoring your life.

Your pets can learn Pet Skills if they meet some requirements. You can even train their skills to increase its level to have better effects!

Pets are currently doing warm-up and waiting for their debuts in Seamless Map Update! Stay tuned!


We'll keep you updated by posting the development status report; please stay tuned!

Thank you for your continued support!

This update includes a number of changes to the playtest build, including a range of VFX & sound improvements, updates to the compendium, and more!

Below is the full list!


As we get closer and closer to release, we are really happy with how everything is turning out, and feedback from playtesters has been amazing (thank you all). Each patch brings more polish and more bug fixes, as we get to the final stages of linking all of the content together.

Please Note: Due to significant changes in save data, any active Summoner's Path runs have been abandoned. Meta progression has not been cleared at this time, but is expected to be cleared in a coming patch since there have been so many changes.

• Chomper Joe has some new items in his shop! Three new spells, Aether Slap, Aether Uppercut and Final Chomp, can only be found in the shop encounter.
  
• A new rare enemy, the loot goblin, is glinting across the battlefield, with a small chance to show in any battle.
  
• The Eye of Newt enemy has been adjusted, and now launches projectiles instead of a beam. The projectiles reduce visual clutter, and can be blocked by Magic Barrier. The damage has also been changed to do more damage on the first hit (from 5 to 10), but the damage now decreases by 50% for each target the projectile hits, and will now hit 4 targets maximum. Finally the cooldown between attacks has been increased from 5 to 7.

- When you are near several items that are very close to each other, you can press the Dosimeter key (game will prompt you) to cycle through these objects, and then you can interact with the intended one by clicking LMB.

- You will now slowly receive passive progress with Stealth skill if you sneak near an unaware enemy (must be moving, not standing still). The closer you are, more progress you will receive.

- You can "upgrade" an NPC's loadout by selling guns, helmets, and armor to them. If the item sold to them is of higher tier than their own, they will switch to the new item.

- Improved hit detection for landmines, so you can better shoot at them.

- Fixed a bug with Lard not able to receive higher quality if you use high quality pork to make them.

- Zooming in and out (Z key) will play a little cue sound

- When you are in the intro screen (such as beginning of the game it tells you it was 1985 in NYC), you can press Space (or Enter for the second button) to trigger the button - no need to click on them

- Added new boost icon for when you use meds that slowly reduce radiation (like Vodka)

For v0.37 A2 we've built an entirely new rendering system for chart objects and highways. These overhauls will greatly improve the game's performance and also adds in new rendering techniques to give that extra edge of quality.

The new rendering system removes the need for game objects for each note and sustain entirely.

Our old system relied on a note being a gameobject in the scene with each note having a note renderer and sustain renderer script attached. These scripts would slow the game down as each of them would run every frame. And with 50 notes in the note pool to start, that's 100 scripts per frame just for notes which just wasn't needed! In v0.36.2 A2, this issue was addressed where only the notes on screen would have these scripts running but it was still a MAJOR flaw as it would greatly slow the game down when large quantities of notes were rendered. The new system removes the need for gameobjects and a note pool entirely by offloading the rendering to the GPU instead of being very CPU oriented.

While working on these changes, shader updates for the notes and sustains were required so while doing so, we've made the move to overhaul how sustains operate when it comes to rendering the materials, colours and whammy animations. Now, you'll see a nice smooth blend of colours as you whammy for HyperFlux or even watch as the sustain fades away if it drops.

As for the highway renderer, it won't seem like anything is different but we've made some changes to just overall improve the performance and some changes that now allow video highways to scroll which can be toggled in the settings.


For starters, if you're using a theme in your game right now, check to see if it's compatible.

If you're a theme maker, be sure to check the new theme template for how themes should be put together now. Themes REQUIRE all note, beatlines and sustain textures to be within the theme to be loaded correctly. These same textures must also be the exact same canvas size as one another to be loaded correctly. So all notes must match, beatlines must match and sustains of their respective type (open/normal) to match in canvas size.

Sustain colours are no longer set to the texture but now set in the theme.ini file. The new sustain materials has a base texture that's coloured and an additive overlay texture that adds a white glow.

If you need assistance with creating themes, you can always join our Discord server for help.
