Craftopia News

Hello everyone!
Craftopia's largest update ever, the "Seamless Update" is scheduled to release on June 27! (Japan time)

Craftopia is still in early access, so we need your feedback, especially after the release of this update.
As this is the largest update we have ever done, there are bound to be some balancing issues or bugs so we would appreciate it if you could report bugs and provide feedback when possible.

Please note that this update will initially only apply to the Steam version. The Xbox version will be updated at a later date.

We plan to do regular updates to the game every 2 weeks, as well as larger content updates, so stay tuned!

(Please understand that we may need to delay it by a couple of days if any serious issues appear before then)

Thank you for playing Craftopia.

This is the announcement about the data transfer from the current version of Craftopia to the Seamless World Update version. The update will still take some time before its release, but we've decided to release information regarding data transfer since many players have asked.

In the Seamless World Update, there will be many changes, such as the map, various items' parameters, and the way how, and how often you'll obtain them.
But we felt terrible about wiping off all the items you have collected in the current version of Craftopia so we worked hard to make it so you could transfer items to the Seamless World Update, however there are some limitations.

Here is the content you can transfer to the updated version.

▼ Precautions on Data Transfer
The gameplay with the transferred characters and items differ from what we've intended regarding the game balance. Strong weapons, convenient mobility, and highly profitable items may break the new game balance, especially in the early game.
Combat is not the only thing you can enjoy in the updated version of Craftopia, but we've designed and optimized items and game balances for you all to enjoy.

With that being said, we strongly recommend creating a new character to play from the beginning of the Seamless World. Seamless is designed to be played as a fresh experience so to get the most out of it, we recommend you play it anew.

▼ Transferable Content
• Equipment items equipped by your character (such as Weapons, Armor, Accessories, and Gliders)
• Items stored in your character's inventory (such as Equipment, Buildings, Consumables, and Materials)
• Pets stored in the inventory (you cannot transfer pets stored in Pet Management Machines)
• All the enchantments attached to the items above
※ Some items will be much easier to obtain in the updated version.
※ Some items will be removed due to design changes and some items, unfortunately, will lose their deployable abilities and such.
※ We're preparing this data transfer to allow you to use the transferred items, including their enchantments, just like they are in the current version of Craftopia. The update will not affect their parameters.
※ Due to the addition of Pet Skills in the updated version, pet levels will be reset.

▼ Other Content
The entire world of Craftopia has been fundamentally redesigned in this update; therefore, deployed buildings cannot be transferred to the updated version.
If you store them in your inventory before applying the update, you can transfer them.

The update will reset some data, such as in-game money, skills, and the progress of missions.

▼ Playing the Current Version of Craftopia after the Update
We are preparing to allow you to play the current version of Craftopia using the Steam Betas function.
With the Steam betas, you can play the current version of Craftopia after the update just like you are now, and the update will affect nothing.

However, the save data system is different between the current version and the seamless one. You can use Steam Betas to carefully select which items to transfer after the update's release.
This is for the players who want to play the current version of Craftopia after the update and for the players who will realize, "I didn't prepare for the data transfer!" or "My items are slightly changed due to the update, so I wanna transfer other items instead".
※ You cannot play the current version of Craftopia with the character created in the Seamless World Update version of Craftopia.
※ If you transfer your data after you play the updated version, your save data will be overwritten, and you will need to start over again. So please proceed with this operation very carefully.

Everyone here at the development team for Craftopia has been working hard on this to preserve as much data as we can to save all the memories players have made in the current version of Craftopia; however, please understand that we may have to change what you can transfer to the updated version due to technical difficulties or other unavoidable issues.

The Seamless World Update is coming this month so please look forward to it. We appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you for playing Craftopia!

After over a year of development, we are finally ready to announce that the Seamless Update, the biggest update ever for Craftopia, will release in June 2023!

It's been over a year since the last major update, and in that time, the game has evolved into an almost completely different game. Craftopia was released into Early Access in 2020/09, and since has undergone a difficult but exciting development journey. At first, we endeavoured to update the game on a daily basis but soon found that this approach was not sustainable.

As we continued to improve the game, there were many problems that we just couldn't solve in the short term, so we took some time off and worked hard to make the game the best it could be.

One year has passed since then.
In order to solve the problem of "moving islands isn't fun", which was the feedback we often received, we radically revised the game (or almost completely rebuilt it), and at the same time, we took your warm requests such as "the combat is boring" or "XX is unpleasant" seriously and steadily revised the game point by point.

Finally, after a year and a half of work, we've finally reached the point where we feel we can present to you once and for all!

We will continue to update the game, taking your feedback into account, so thank you very much for your support!

By the way:
We've also resumed the development of Overdungeon (our first game) and released a new update for it. If you're interested, you can find it here.

Thank you for playing Craftopia. This is the development status report on Craftopia's Seamless World Update!

▼ Current Development Status
• MAP


The map of Seamless World Update is almost finished! The image above is a comparison between the map of current Craftopia and the map of Seamless World Update! You have to see it for yourself once it's released!

• Loadouts


We've developed the loadouts feature that the community members have been asking for!

"Equipment Loadout" and "Skill Loadout" are the features that allow you to easily switch between sets of equipment and skills.
You will save up lots of time by using this feature when you want to try other builds from physical based to magical based.

And "Appearance Loadout" is the feature to overwrite appearances of equipment with ones of sets of equipment without affecting equipment stats.

• Equipment Refinement


"Weapon Refinement" is also a thing that we've made changes to during the development of Seamless World Update!
Currently, the same weapons are require to refine a weapon, and this has made it difficult to refine some weapons. After the Seamless World Update, only required materials will be Refining Stones.

You will be able to acquire Refining Stones by scrapping weapons; therefore, you could automate refining processes by connecting facilities of crafting, scrapping, and refining!

There will be the limit on the number of refinement you can do on a weapon, but it'll be larger and larger as you progress through the game.


Those content above are only some parts of the Seamless World Update, and there are many features and content that we're intended to hide them for now (since it may spoil the experiences!)

As we announced on Twitter the other day, the release of the Seamless World Update is very close!
We're planning to announce on the data transfer very soon too!


Thank you for your continued support!
