Machines Evolved!

Greeting, Creatifriends!

R38 is a love letter to creators. The sort of love letter that won't fit in the mailbox 'cause it's strapped to a volatile machine capable of punching blocks through the walls of existence.

The Creativerse community has created countless spectacular builds -- we're inspired daily by the massive cities and epic structures you share with us. The new machines we're introducing today give our players the ability to create something new: experiences. Whether it's a maze with shifting walls, a dungeon adventure with waves of enemy mobs and puzzles to solve, or a friendly game of Pigsy soccer (using Pigsy as the ball, naturally), we can't wait to see what you accomplish with these new tools.
