Creature Creator News

[p]Hi Creators![/p][p]The highly anticipated v1.6 is now live! 🎉[/p][p]First up, I’ve upgraded the game engine to Unity 6 (2025) to meet mobile requirements, which is quite the leap from Unity 2021! This brings improved stability, security, and performance across the board.[/p][p]Next, there’s a new age selection system. On your first login, you’ll be asked for your date of birth. This info is never shared or uploaded. Like in Roblox or Clash of Clans, it helps provide a safer, age-appropriate experience for everyone.[/p][p][/p][p]Finally, we now have a moderation system! Moderators can kick or ban disruptive players, and hosts can still kick players in their own worlds. Please use the forum to report players or appeal bans. If you see a moderator abusing their power, please let me know — we’re not here to control people, just to keep the community fun and respectful.[/p][p]Thanks for playing, and enjoy the update![/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p]Daniel[/p]

Hi Creators!

You can now enter free-cam in Creative Mode to take clean, high-quality screenshots of your creatures. Fly around the scene, find the perfect angle, and capture your creations. The default keybind is Ctrl+P, but this can be rebound in the settings menu.

Also in this update:

• XP is now awarded for defeating NPCs.
  
• Various bug fixes and improvements, including issues with footsteps, lighting, NPC behaviour, death messages, the tutorial, and more.
  
• A secret new animation! Hint:

Hope you enjoy the update!

Cheers,
Daniel

Hey everyone!

Creature Creator just celebrated its first birthday! 🥳🎉

Over the past year, almost 400,000 players on PC and Mobile have created creatures in 13 languages around the world!

The game has received tonnes of in-game updates, as well as a website, merchandise store, education edition, and animated short film! It has now even evolved into a franchise with 2 new CREATURE games in the works!

I have huge plans for the future! Right now, I am busy working on a massive YouTube video in which I will take you behind the scenes and discuss the development journey so far!

Thanks so much for playing my game and for your support over the past year!

Cheers,
Daniel
