Creativerse R26 -- Holiday Surprise!

[PlayfulDavid]

Hey Creatifriends!

Welcome to all of the new players who joined us since we became free to play! We’re glad you found us and hope you stick around.

The end of year holidays may have chilled our usual 2-3 week cadence for releases a bit, but on the bright side, they also gave us a chance to try something new: seasonal goodies! There is, quite frankly, a plethora of stuff with which you can deck your halls. Recipes, accessories, a new liquid (molasses), craftable items -- everything but a partridge in a pear tree (would you settle for a Leafi in an Elderwood?). As a cherry on top, we’ve given everyone 450 extra coins, and any new players will start with the same amount. Watch this video to get a taste for all the new stuff…

As usual, our polish strike team found several ways to improve the game, most notably with Blueprints. You can now claim your purchased Blueprints in every world you join! Ladders are also more intuitive to use and now fit in 1x1 wide spaces. And owners and admins of public worlds rejoice! You now possess the ability to promote, demote and ban players who are offline. An unfortunate side effect of this change: you will need to re-grant permissions to players. (Tip: if you’re part of a public world, type “/request” in chat to prompt owners/admins for access.)

R26 will be the last release of the year, and what a year it’s been. A UI overhaul, world v2, farming and ranching, block rotation, going free to play. But guys, that’s nothing compared to what we have planned for 2016!

Happy holidays!

(P.S. When hunting for holiday recipes, focus on cold and "arctic" mobs/areas.)

UPDATE: Here's something to help you with your hunt for all the new stuff...

Hahaha. Had three keepa spawns within less than one song on my playlist. I think you turned the knob in the wrong direction ;)

Can you work on an update or a recipe, that increases bag space?

Is there any ways to add your own music to the game, the regukar stuff is nice but it's putting me to sleep....

I just scored 33 Arctic Miru eyes from one small place in the snow, in the 5 hour night time segment. I didn't even know that so many of them existed. Also scored recipes, food, boxes etc. THANK YOU very much Devs. Already you have made it a wonderful Christmas for me, and I hope for everyone else too. Best fun I have had in ages, LOL can't wait til night time again!
