Playful

Greetings, Creators!

You may have noticed that the team has put out a steady stream of patches up until now, ironing out the wrinkles and swatting bugs left and right. Today's update is similar but on a bigger scale, with particular focus on optimizing the game's performance. This included an engine upgrade (Unity 2018), rebuilding old code, lots of tinkering and elbow grease, and extensive testing on the worst, most min-spec PCs we could find. As a result, the Under the Hood Update offers a smoother, more optimized experience, along with a bunch of smaller improvements and bugfixes. It’s certainly not the end of performance fixes, but it's a pretty good foundation for more.

Patch Notes

Updates, Additions, and Tweaks:

Major Engine upgrade to Unity 2018

Mud is now craftable using Water and Dirt

Water no longer requires any mining cell to be pulled

Max view radius has been increased

Lava and Corrupted Water can now be pulled by Diamond mining cell

Hidden Temple and Medieval Chests no longer require Stone mining cell to pull

Selection highlight in Action Bar is a little wider and easier to see

Gift Boxes are rotatable in any direction

Pet information window is simultaneously dismissed with its associated pet

Lilly pads can now be put in containers

Automatic text censoring logic has been improved to try and help reduce the number of false positives, i.e “Grass”

Assorted bug fixes related to engine upgrade

New graphics quality settings

Bug Fixes:

Pet bubbles render on top of water correctly

Glowing mushrooms are glowing again

Pets are properly dirty after harvesting (get the soap ready!)

New adventures show up under the New category

Fixed a few issues with Pets disappearing (i.e in some instances, pets that were told to “Stay” would either disappear or wind up clumped together)

Fixed a few issues related to player names (such as when a user is banned)

Decogorgeous Door disappears at the same distance as other doors

Blocky the Snowman is visible when placed in a container

Fixed snow caps spreading and showing up inconsistently (how rude!)

Fixed issues related to recipes not carrying over between worlds properly

Magic Snow Globe should no longer create snow when placed in displays

Fixed an issue that prevented purchase of block kits for a moss block-customized blueprint

All firework types give off sound effects

Sleeping in a bed for the first time no longer triggers a “New Area Discovered” message/ reveals a grid on the map

Mobs can now be attacked while they are in a teleporter

Customizing Curtains no longer create error blocks around them

Frozen Container no longer mysteriously hides itself after leaving and returning to an area

/setspawn should work again

@ and other symbols can now be correctly used in text fields regardless of the keyboard layout

Safe walk now prevents players from walking off slopes

Player preferences are now tied to your Steam account instead of the client

From Jeremy: "Small easter egg, when you save your costume customization in the menu, a high res screen of your character is saved to C:\Users\your user\AppData\LocalLow\PlayfulCorp\Creativerse\avatar”

Everyone truly gave their best to our second Take Your Best Shot contest and it shows! With all of these displays of artistic ingenuity, creativity, and perspective, we had to get the whole studio involved in the selection process.

The contest’s challenge was simple: show us “amazing, thrilling, fantastical, horrific, and just plain awesome screenshots”. But pulling that off requires an ability to see the beauty in any situation. How do you capture the perfect angle of your friend’s build? What’s the best time of day to shoot an amazing naturescape? Rule of thirds, huh what now? Presentation and perspective were in the eye of the creator and key to creating unforgettable shots.

Well, we have no qualms these goals were surpassed.

The 15 winners are very deserving of that honor. In addition to having their world immortalized in the Creativerse halls of fame (our loading screen images), the winners will each receive a $20 Steam Gift Card and an Ultra-Rare Trophy Gauntlet skin of their choosing.

Without further ado, and presented in no particular order, here are the winners.

Cybertron-Vos-Base at Night by Starscream

“A terrific use of the galactic block set in a down-to-earth setting. I'd definitely spend hours teleporting from one end of the map to the other just for the chance to see this shot as a loading screen” –The Esteemed Brainsloth

Starscream’s build picks up on a creative use of arc signs to create a wonderful, well lit space. It is a testament to inventive design and careful planning that really ushers in a sense of wonder, perfect for welcoming players back to Creativerse!

Steampunk Castle by Saint_Aint

“This castle is a perfect Creativerse lair for block tinkering and hatching schemes. Maybe a Playfulverse cult or two.” –Jennifer, Operations

A potential lair, indeed. Every budding Creator needs one! Additionally, Saint_Aint's build is impressive on its own, but it's also a masterclass in visually striking lighting.

Sunset in the City by Rory

“This feels like I have gone on vacation to a small Italian village, where everyone knows your name. My new Zen place… ahhhhhhhh….” –DrEvilB, Franchise Producer

This is definitely a city we’d want to live in (along with our pets, of course!). Rory’s ability to capture just the right moment in the Creativerse sunset gives us a chance to ponder the good things in life a little while longer.

Fire the Sky by Illyncia

“…3, 2, 1, Happy New Year! What's your resolution? Oh, I thought about not hurting poor mobs anymore, but those flowers look so much like tiny little Chizzards and now I'm HUNGRY!" –Entuland, Support

Illyncia’s shot showcases a wonderful use of Ritzy Pigsy items AND inspires our dear Entuland to refrain from violence. Perfect!

Starship on Red Sky by Jayfeather

A poetically titled screenshot which inspired one of our devs to write his own:

Whisk me away to far off lands, Where my universe is my creativity And my ship is this masterpiece! –Randy, Creativerse Designer

Josenopol by Hororogoro

“Reminds me of Dorne in Game of Thrones, post dragon war, after they’ve all moved to the one queen’s land. Or Sunny Spain!” –Playful B, Community

Hororogoro’s screenshot evokes a far away land, where the sun is always shining and the sunscreen is at the ready.

A Mysterious Orb by Dio the Creative

“Only the worthy are allowed to touch this twilight zone magic.” –Sam Barsoum, Artist

What else could we expect from “Dio the Creative” but an awe inspiring orb?

Peaceful Country Inn by Adora Lupinatu

“I adore this lush glimpse into a fantasy land. Walt would be proud! Come to think of it, It’s almost too inviting.... must be a trap! 🧐.” –Nick Pappas, Artist

Showing off the more elegant side of things, Adora takes us into a world that is a bit more medieval in nature, but, thankfully, way more serene than the history books recount.

Missing King’s Statues by OreO

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I consider the entries and realize this one's best." –Austin, QA

An amazing majestic build by Oreo that leaves us wondering, where did the Kings disappear from and who is looking for them?

Castle Neu Schawnstein by Adorany Reen

“Adorany has been responsible for jawdropping builds for a long time now. He almost always has a post in the ‘most popular’ tab on our screenshots Steam hub; find his stuff and prepare to be amazed!” –PlayfulDavid, Communications

Reen gives us a delightful interpretation of the Neuschwanstein Castle, a Fairytale castle that once belonged to the “Mad King”, Ludwig II. The castle, which is nestled in the foothills of Southern Bavaria (Germany) gets as 1.5 million visitors a year (see the original here) ! A visit to Reen’s world looks like a good alternative to fighting the crowds!

Campfire by Tsax

"This piece is so evocative! Like all good art, it is intriguing to look at and yet- unsettling! Or is that just my lunch?" –Playful B

Beyond the incredible amount of work it must have taken to stage this scene, the framing, lighting, and overall mise-en-scene are downright breathtaking. There's somthing profound about the way these Mirus share this space together quietly, with their pet Pigsy (or perhaps Pigsy is a peer and the group is peacably co-existing). Thank you, Tsax, for giving us a moment of meditation!

Castle by Oddisej2

“This one immediately made me feel like I was in another world – that a single image could be so immersive made this one of my easy favorites.” –PlayfulDavid

An epic castle with a humble name is sure to capture the attention of many.

“Explore, explore, and then Explore” by Jarb2104

"I like torches. I like caves. Thumbs up." –Brent, Engineer

We are tempted to keep going further and further, but what will we find? Only the bravest among us will dare...

City of Lumen by LightGOC

LightGOC notes, “With nearly 3K hours in game, this city has taken up about half that time.”

One look at the amount of detail and architecture design in this cityscape and you know they speak the truth!

Nature by Иришечkа

“This is a fantastically beautiful place created by the nature itself in our Creativerse-Pro world.” –Иришечkа

We couldn't have said it better ourselves, fellow Creator.

Greetings, Creators!

Twas the weeks before the holidays, when all through Creativerse*record scratch*

Troggington the Abominable Snow Trog stole all Elfi’s toys! Creators, we need your help to take back those presents and save Elfi’s Wonderland.

Things aren’t all cloudy and gray. We’ve added a smorgasbord of festive items to brighten up your world. In fact, this may be our largest content update ever. The simple task of writing these patch notes took forever because the team just kept adding more stuff. They may working on even more blocks right now. Who knows?

But the best part about this update isn’t a matter of what, but how. For the first time in Playful’s history, we are donating a portion of proceeds from the event’s duration to charity, specifically The Make-A-Wish Foundation. That essentially makes this update a fundraiser to support making kids’ life-changing wishes come true. There are two ways you can contribute....

Purchase our any of our new Elfi's Wonderland bundles from the Creativerse store. Each one comes with the same festive gift wrap block recipes, plus a ton of bonus toys and crafted blocks. Buy one or buy a bunch! 100% of the funds we receive from these bundles will go to Make-A-Wish!

Donate directly to our donation page. And to make things interesting, we’re reserving a portion of this update’s new goodies for specific donation goals. Once we reach each goal, all items in that tier unlock for everyone. You can make a donation right now on our fundraising page.

This update has been a labor of love for us. We helped make a wish come true earlier this year when a child wished to see how video games were made. Ever since, we’ve wanted to do more with Make-A-Wish. The entire studio contributed time and effort on this update, and we hope you enjoy it.

Love,

–The Playful Team

Hello there, creators! It is time for the fan art contest to come to a close. You have mastered the challenge to wow us with your insanely talented art, across a variety of mediums and we've been left in awe! From wood carvings to handmade gauntlets to beautiful illustrations and plushies-we definitely had a tough time with picking the winners.

We wanted to spotlight the superb art in more detail and give everyone a chance to appreciate all of the entries in one place. Thank you to everyone who made this contest so much fun.

“Omg we have the best fans” -Paul Bettner, Founder of Playful Corp

Our Grand Prize Winners 

A LEGO Arctek Gauntlet by Nasa105

You can find the original work here

“This looks like one of those models you see in movie museums and hear someone paid like, 80 grand to keep in their home theater. OH! Creativerse Movie??” -Barbara, Lady of Community

From the artist: “Whenever I enjoy playing a game, I always love to make a LEGO model of something iconic from it. After playing Creativerse for the first time, I knew instantly that the Arctek gauntlet would be perfect for a LEGO model!”

Trog wood carving by Ponpon1000

You can find the original art work here.

Thanks to the incredible creativity and skill of this creator, Trog has been bursting into my nightmares, aglow with Trog-rage, with nearly twice the usual frequency. -Stephen, Playful’s in-house art critic

This artistic craftsmanship shown here really made this contest, in the words of a Creativerse dev, “impossible to rank”.

Knitted Pigsy by The Crow

You can find the original art work here.

“I just wanna hug it and cuddle it and squish it and take it on a red eye flight to Delaware.” -Playful David, frequent red eye traveler

Artist Statement: "Knitted Pigsy stuffed with padding polyester. Made a year or so ago, that's why it's а little battered."

Wood mining cell by WikiSnapper.

You can find the original art work here

“I just realized that guy’s costume is made out of WOOD” -Creativerse Dev

Artist statement: “I needed a mining cell to go with my Pigsy shirt. So I made a mining cell out of wood. Sure it doesn’t work in the lava layer but I am more of a fossil sort of guy anyways.”

Cosplay, anyone?

Retreat by iamamamk

You can find the original art work here. 

Miru me!- Chase, Creativerse Dev

That should be a shirt.-All of Playful

A very unique art style and tons of movement in this tribute to Miru terror. Well done!

Thank you to everyone for participating! The fan art contest was so much fun and really, the gift that kept on giving. We look forward to more contests in the future and more community art! Reminder to those who "cannot art" that we got a building contest coming your way and chance to shine!

Playful CEO Paul Bettner, speaking with GameDaily.biz...

"When we look at the IP that's most valuable today, we can see that it came from TV shows, comic books, novels, film. There's no way that the most valuable IP 10 years from now doesn't come from video games because it's where everybody's eyeballs are."

“People understand that play is a core human condition. It's something we should all do and it makes us better...Rather than talking about ourselves as a video game company, we say, 'We're a studio that makes playful things.'”

The day is finally here: Super Lucky's Tale is now on Steam! We are thrilled for new players to experience Lucky and his enchanting adventure.

Originally launching last November on Xbox One, Super Lucky’s Tale is a charming platformer that follows Lucky, the ever-optimistic hero, on his quest to help his sister Lyra rescue the mysterious Book of Ages from the claws of the scheming Jinx and his mischievous Kitty Litter.

It’s up to you and Lucky to find your inner strength and outsmart their puzzles and plots to save the day. You’ll dive, leap, burrow, explore and uncover hidden secrets, discover unknown fox holes, and encounter colorful friends and allies on your way to destiny.

Included in the Steam version are the new collectable costumes for Lucky to wear as you make your way through the game together. Additionally, the game's two DLCs are available on Steam which include all new chapters of Lucky's magical story.

We invite you to check out the game's Steam page for a deeper look.

Greetings, Creators! The day has finally arrived - the Big Update is here! We know you’ve been waiting a while, but these new features and improvements are sizzling! Drum roll, please.

Improved Character, Customization, and Combat

We are excited for you to meet our new, improved, and super customizable character models. We hope these new avatars will match the distinct character of the worlds you’ve worked so hard to create.

And let’s talk about combat. With the new 3rd person combat mode, you’ll have a front row seat to a variety of expanded and polished fighting abilities. Whether you are gauntlet-smashing a swarm of night pigsies to smithereens or dodging Miru’s flash attack with a well-timed roll, you’ll be ready for action.

THANK YOU

for your continued support while we got this major update ready for you to enjoy. Your continuous creativity, enthusiasm, and feedback is what makes our community so great.

Play on!

❤️ The Creativerse Team

Greetings, Creators!

We’ve been busy cooking a big summer update for Creativerse and are excited to share the details with you very soon. Until then, we wanted to give a little behind-the-scenes peek at the development process for our new avatars, coming very soon in the next update.

Here is some early concept art for Creativerse avatars at the budding stages of the development process. At this stage, our art team is setting the tone of inspiration and begins brainstorming on all the stylish ideas for future models.

This is when detail becomes clearer and more streamlined: color, uniform, jawline.

Then the concept sketches make the leap to full 3D models. From here the team can see how these models actually look in the game, and make any final adjustments.

There are many customization options so you can pick a look you really love.

One last look at the finished product. Thanks for viewing! We are on the edge of our seats for getting this update into your hands. Keep on playing!

Hello there, Creators!

Creativerse turns 4 today and we can hardly believe it! Time has flown by faster than a rambeau on a fan-powered ice slope. When we first began this journey, we dreamt of building the ultimate sandbox adventure. Four years later, our community is richer than ever and our players continue to amaze us with their mind-blowing creations and worlds.

We want to thank you for sticking with us and constantly amazing us with your creativity and collaboration. As a token of our appreciation, we have a gift for all of you to celebrate our 4th anniversary in style – enter the code CELEBRATE4 in the Creativerse store to claim it. It includes a recipe for the rare and magical Unicorn Sword (aka the Rainbownater 5000).

Finally, we can't wait to see what you all think of our big summer update – which we hope to have out to you before the end of the month.

Hi all — it's time for another quick Creativerse planning update.

It's an exciting time for Creativerse and we're very grateful for our players that have continued to share their feedback and wish lists for the game. We're planning to continue to add features and make improvements that can be appreciated by both new players, and players with thousands of hours of experience alike. Here’s a peek at some of the things we’re working on.

Current Efforts

Over the next several months one of our primary focuses is leveling up the visuals of the game, particularly visual effects and the player character itself. This includes small improvements like better damage effects and major improvements like an upgraded look for your avatar.

We plan to release these visual upgrades, including significant improvements to the back-end and animation systems, by the end of summer at the latest. And related to the those changes, we're working on improvements that will allow you to adjust your character visuals in-game, without leaving the world, and to persist your customization across worlds as well.

We've also almost finished the implementation of some gameplay improvements related to combat and interacting with the world. We want to make the basic combat system more user-friendly and enjoyable, and these improvements also set the table for us to do ranged combat and fun/interesting ranged weapons for future releases.

We’ll continue to address any bugs that are still in the system and work on performance improvements as well. Some of these fixes will be quick and easy, and some are more complicated, but everything is in the system and being addressed at some point.

Longer Term

We’re focusing on some longer-term upgrades for the game, including:

More creative control of your worlds

More tools to help with creation. We're currently in early testing of some concepts and tools. This will take awhile, but it's important to us, as it is to you.

We're going to address inventory management and find the most targeted improvements we can make to that system to make it more fluid and player-friendly. The community team will be gathering specific feedback for that area and help us set top priorities based on community impact.

Improved world filtering and search on our to-do list, along with more social tools.

We want some very robust tools for user-generated content, including better tools for creating, sharing and enjoying adventures. This is a very long-term goal.

Other Updates

We know that aquatic life is something that we would all like to do, so it's on our big list, but we haven't planned out that work yet. We're considering the scope of this initiative - from the smallest size (just adding some fishies) to the most robust scale (adding underwater exploration, combat and other connected features). For now, it's on the list until we complete other work and have the bandwidth.

Improvements to farming, pets and machines are also on the long-term list and will require a lot of thought and planning to make sure they are as fun as they can possibly be.

We keep an updated list of all community requests and review it regularly to help us plan ahead. We're very pumped up about the future and are thinking long-term for some of the bigger features for the game. We’ll keep you updated along the way and continue to share our plans and ask for your opinions on a regular basis.
