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 t... Read more

◆ Bug Fixes
- Fixed the bug that "Enchanging Scroll" with the enchantments, which couldn't be applied to the selected item, would be consumed even though you couldn't apply enchantments.
- Fixed the bug that the release note in home screen couldn't be closed by clicking outside of it.

Summary of This Update
1. Boss Rush Dungeon
You will fight against bosses after bosses! The deeper the floor, the better Enchanting Scrolls rewards!

Enchanting Scrolls can be obtained by using "Blank Enchanting Scroll", which can be obtained from the rewards of Boss Rush Dungeon.

4. Various Building Items

5. New Throwables

Thank you for playing Craftopia. This is the development status report for February.

▼ Major Developments
• Boss Rush Dungeon
"Boss Rush Dungeon," which we had called "Mysterious Dungeon," is the dungeon where you will consecutively challenge strong enemies to go as deep as you can. The deeper, the stronger enemies will be! You might find it challenging since some floors may have a different environment from the ordinary battleground.

• Enchantment Scroll
You can use "Enchantment Scroll" to apply a specific enchantment to the weapon of your choice. You will receive Enchantment Scrolls as the rewards of Boss Rush Dungeon in the first place. We're considering adding other ways to obtain Enchantment Scrolls by the time of the release of Seamless Map Update.

Of course, we've been working on other things such as weapons, furniture, pets, bug fixes, and QoL changes as well!

Along with this drastic change, we will adjust overall game balances and improve the game systems' qualities. We will report the progress of the development of the "Seamless Map Update" in the future as... Read more
