Hey everyone! A new update is now live, and it’s a big one under the hood! Performance & Optimisation Creatures are dramatically cheaper to render. Previously, a creature could use hundreds of draw calls since each body part was rendered separately with its own submeshes. With the new mesh-baking system, an entire creature can now be combined into a single mesh! Creature Optimisation is still in testing, so it's opt-in from the settings menu for now, but it’ll be enabled by default everywhere very soon. Let me know if you run into any issues! Multiplayer netcode overhaul. Creature and world-it

Hey everyone! A new major update (v1.8) is now live with a lot of new features! 🎉 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42540009/f50acb940a43ee1221c54aa26245b85f314e9aa4.gif Minigames Mode The old “prioritize minigames” option has been replaced with a full Minigames Mode. In this mode, players are automatically taken through all the minigames on a map. When one minigame ends, the next begins right away. Once all minigames on the current map are finished, the game rotates to a new map and keeps going. I’ve also fixed several issues with minigames and even implemented creature scaling, which now also scales up Ka

Hi Creators!The highly anticipated v1.6 is now live! 🎉First up, I’ve upgraded the game engine to Unity 6 (2025) to meet mobile requirements, which is quite the leap from Unity 2021! This brings improved stability, security, and performance across the board.Next, there’s a new age selection system. On your first login, you’ll be asked for your date of birth. This info is never shared or uploaded. Like in Roblox or Clash of Clans, it helps provide a safer, age-appropriate experience for everyone.Finally, we now have a moderation system! Moderators can kick or ban disruptive players, and hosts c

Hi Creators! You can now enter free-cam in Creative Mode to take clean, high-quality screenshots of your creatures. Fly around the scene, find the perfect angle, and capture your creations.

Various bug fixes and improvements, including issues with footsteps, lighting, NPC behaviour, death messages, the tutorial, and more. A secret new animation! Hint: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42540009/534edfb4a5c9d7f0a0188fecbb8847a21548d3e7.png Hope you enjoy the update! Cheers, Da

Hey everyone! For this update, I implemented a better login system with the ability to set a unique username! You can still sign in anonymously like before, but I also added the option to sign in with a cross-platform Unity account. You can access this from the settings menu! This was mainly added for the new friends system which now allows you to make cross-platform friends! You can add friends by either sending a request directly using a player's ID (e.g., PlayerName#1234) or by clicking on their username from the in-game networking menu. Once they accept your request, they'll show up in you

The world of Creature Creator is evolving! Explore new areas on the Island and Farm, but watch out for enemies! You’ll now encounter octopuses in the ocean and spiders lurking in the caves of Farm and Cave. These enemies can quickly become overwhelming in hordes though, so make sure to use the new spin attack to deal lots of AOE damage! On the topic of combat, all the AI has been buffed and improved, and I’ve added some more satisfying damage effects! There are also now multiple battle locations on each map with enemies from that map — instead of the single battle arena on Sandbox! The hunger
