Hello everyone, just trying to keep up with the status updates! Right after publishing the last update I got on a plane and flew to the East Coast to visit a friend; a trip I have been postponing for months. I will be away from the computer for the first time in quite awhile and will be doing a camping trip for the next few days. Apologies in advanced for the delayed responses and lingering issues. Once I'm back I will get back to it. Speaking of when I'm back, I have been redesigning the research system and along with it a substantial amount of the other "progression" in the game. The current state of Crea is disjoint in large part because development was very incremental and organic. Now that Crea is released I'm taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. I don't want to get into it to much yet but I can give you all an idea for now. Researching will no longer require researching individual materials and recipes will no longer be partially learned. Instead recipes will be grouped up into logical sets and researched all at once at the expense of a few materials. The recipes and materials will be known upfront and after researching a set new sets are unlocked. There are many many changes coming soon which I will be sharing as we get closer to them. For now though, I will continue to focus on resolving issues so that everyone can have a good experience playing Crea. Thanks again for your patience and help!
