Greetings, Creators!
This update is all about three things: Greater stability. Improved performance. Column blocks shaped from the finest, pointiest, shredded leaves.
Stability & Performance
We heard your feedback that game performance is due for a tune-up, and we've dived deep under the hood to make impactful improvements with the goal of getting Creativerse to run as smooth as a Miru's central eyeball (which we assume is pretty smooth, although we're not gonna get close enough to a Miru to find out).
Importantly, with this update Creativerse is now a 64-bit game - an upgrade we expect will significantly improve stability and reduce crashing.
A Cornucopia of Columns
"I don't care about all that technical mumbo jumbo; give me round things!" - someone, probably
We've got you, fam. Get thee to a processor to start churning out gloriously round column versions of eighteen of your favorite blocks (all free in the core game, btw).
So fire up a more stable, more performant Creativerse today and experience... the Column Craze!

* An overwhelming majority of our players are running 64-bit operating systems and won't have to do anything but enjoy a more stable gameplay experience. However, a very small subset of players are still running 32-bit versions of Windows, which are no longer supported. If you're one of those players, we've put together this FAQ to help.
