Greetings Creatifriends,
First of all, we admit R5 is on the lighter side in terms of new features. But we promise to make up for it in R6. In fact, we’re really starting to hit our stride here at Playful HQ and anticipate the next few releases will be heavier than usual, so get ready for a bunch of new toys in the sandbox.
In the meantime, there’s still some neat stuff to play with this time. You can finally split stacks. Now your buddy has no excuse not to share his stash of vines. You’ll also see new and improved art for the loot bag, gauntlet and bombs. And first time players will see a radar on their compass that makes finding that essential first crafting station more obvious.
Thanks again for your continued support of Creativerse! Happy building!
