Free you say?
That's right! After months spent considering the best courses of action for the future of Creo, I've decided that the best course would be to make the game completely free. This will enable many people who haven't gotten the chance to play Creo to join our community and play our game. Creo God Simulator will become a free game on 9 March 2022, so please take this into consideration before purchasing the game!
Why is it becoming free?
I will be completely frank with you, I have not been able to put the amount of time I have wanted into this project since I've recently started a new highly intensive degree program at a University. I am currently working on the next update, which will include several game-balance improvements, such as creating a "Willpower Capacity", and associated structures to increase that capacity. This will come in addition to various other improvements such as new buildings, events, and features.
I'm very excited to continue working on Creo God Simulator, but I feel that it is correct to make it a free experience. This does not mean that the quality of updates will decrease, or that production will stop. Production on Creo God Simulator will continue indefinitely, however, as it's been in development for so many years, I consider it a true passion project, and one that I plan on working on for a long time.
What can I expect?
As I stated above, the fact that Creo is becoming free in no way will affect the quality or regularity of the updates I've been posting. I've got various updates and improvements in the works right now, which I hope to release shortly, but I've also got a variety of other things in my life that command my time and attention. Frankly, Creo has not been paying any bills for a long time, and I've got to work and study in order to provide for me and my family - I sincerely hope our community will be understanding of this.
Creo will continue to be updated, you will continue to smite villagers and learn new god powers, and over time, I'm truly excited to see all the incredible cities you all will get to build. I know that one day, my work will be considered "over" for Creo, but today is not that day, and it won't be that day anytime soon.
Again, please take this update into consideration before purchasing the game. I am giving a 2-week notice to any potential purchases to simply wait until the 9th of March 2022, to be able to download the game on Steam for free, and to hop on this journey with us! Please feel free to direct any questions to [email protected] - I will do my best to answer them in the order received. Thank you all!
