[2022] Development Status Report on Craftopia's Seamless World Update for August

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

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

▼ Current Development Status
• Adding Weather
Each island had only one weather, and they would not change even though you stayed for a long time on an island. Seamless World Update will bring "Weather System", in which weather will change seamlessly while you're exploring the world of Craftopia.
Basic weather, such as sunny and rainy, will undoubtedly give a vibe to your adventure. Snowstorms in the snowy mountain and scorching sun in the desert will express characteristics of biomes by clarifying the change of environments!

We're considering an additional system to make use of various weathers as well. It's not going to be a negative feature like "Your body temperature decreases as you get caught in the rain...", but you can utilize weather to receive a bonus from it!


• Introducing Settlement
NPC settlements will be formed around the world of Craftopia!
There have been some spots where NPCs gather around islands, though most of them didn't have their meanings at all.
Settlements in Seamless World will have various NPCs, such as the important NPC who will give you quests to proceed with the story and merchants from who you can buy items and crops based on the world level.
"Tower", which we introduced in the previous development report, will also be one of the important settlements, too.


• Improving Combat System
We are modifying and improving the enemies' AI and behaviors and combat system in order to give you better experiences around combat.

For instance, in "Improvement of Enemies' AI", we're reshaping and transforming enemies from somehow hostile mobs to enemies by:
1) giving combat roles to enemies so they will behave as a group while fighting;
2) improving the actions of enemies so they will counteract players' attacks.
We've been testing new features to make player actions energetic. Dodging enemies' attacks at the right moment will give you a chance to deal massive damage to enemies or counterattack enemies.

New enemies will be added in Seamless World Update as well, as it's shown in the screenshot below!


We'll keep you updated by posting the development status report; please stay tuned!

Thank you for your continued support!
