Development Status

Hello everyone,

After a long time waiting we finally were able to release the seamless update and we have been enjoying reading about your adventurers in the new Craftopia.

However, we are keenly aware that this update has brought its fair share of problems and we want to assure you that the team is doing everything they can to resolve these issues as soon as possible.
There are some sleepless nights ahead but we want to make Craftopia a game that you can enjoy for a long time.

Among the issues with the update, we'd like to briefly update you on some of the serious ones:

1: GPU/CPU issues:
We are aware that some users are experiencing problems with high CPU usage and GPUs running hot. We really appreciate all the bug reports you sent in and the information you provided about this issue.
In the first hotfix, we fixed an issue that was causing high GPU and CPU usage in the main menu. We've identified some other factors that may still be causing issues in-game and we are hoping to have them fixed in an upcoming update.
We understand that this is a priority and we are doing what we can to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

2: Japanese text in the English version and mistranslations:
Due to a bug with our localization system, several instances of text defaulted to the Japanese version despite the game being set to the English version. We apologize for this and are doing our utmost to correct this as fast as we can.
Also, due to the large amount of text in Craftopia, there are also some translations that may appear unusual or difficult to read. This is an ongoing effort and we will continue to work to correct these.

3: Multiplayer connectivity issues:
The decision to not release the dedicated server alongside the update was a difficult one to make but unfortunately, it just wasn't ready in time. We know many players have been experiencing issues connecting to multiplayer p2p games and we are looking into measures we can take to mitigate these problems. Often these issues are a result of firewalls or ports but we are exploring options to ease these problems on our end.

There are more bugs and issues that we are aware of and we sincerely thank everyone for their bug reports and encourage you to continue sending us this info.

We will be rolling out more fixes and patches so please keep an eye out for those.
Of course, we are also working on new content, new areas and new mechanics as the world of Craftopia will continue to grow! Please look forward to these updates and check out the roadmap we recently posted.
We have big plans for Craftopia and we are looking forward to sharing them with you all.

Everyone here will keep working hard and as always, we thank you for your continued support.
