Patch 1.1.3
Just a small patch to fix a bug that could result in the player getting stuck in the Tactical Training area if you go down the wrong path in the late game.

Update 1.1.2
Update 1.1.2

  • Allowed players to heal a room earlier in the tutorial to prevent a confusing situation where players could learn how to heal from a popup text before the healing room.
  • Changed destructible terrain placement around some crusher hazards to prevent a situation where players could get trapped but not killed.
  • Fixed an issue where lowering the background texture resolution setting changed the resolution of loading tip images.
  • Fixed an issue where the camera could move beyond the maximum mouse look distance in rare situations.
  • Fixed an issue with incorrect item found text anchoring on wide screens
  • Fixed an issue where the quality settings screen could display the same resolution as an option multiple times
  • Fixed an issue where the increased view distance from fan flight could allow players to see a piece of the decelerator track pop in.

CreatorCrate PREPARING FOR LAUNCH Update 1.1.1
We're almost ready for the Steam launch on August 11! Here's the Companion Human Update to celebrate.

Companion Human Game Mode


To celebrate the Steam launch, I've added the Companion Human Challenge. This game mode is the TOTALLY CANON CreatorCrate / Human fan fiction where you must follow the 3 laws:
* Protect Companion
* No Abandon
* No Devour (unless very hungry)

Demo Converter


If you've played the CreatorCrate Demo, progress up to the first boss fight will be converted when you play the full game. Progress from the Zero G preview and a few items are not converted since these are shown out of order to give Demo players a taste of what's to come.

This update also adds Steam Cloud saves, and a bunch of other improvements.

Update 1.1.1



  • Added Companion Human Challenge!
  • Added Steam cloud saves
  • Added a tutorial room for learning how to hurt your enemies with chairs
  • Made challenge descriptions more entertaining
  • Made Clacker trigger explosions when falling in Action Movie Challenge
  • Made more explosions during Vatmeat Chamber fight in Action Movie Challenge
  • Checkpoints activated by winning a boss fight give you a message to let you know what's happening now
  • Decompression happens slower so that you can really savor the horror of getting sucked out a broken window into the merciless void of space.
  • Added "fEEd mE" messages to Hongry challenge.
  • Made tutorial gun turret destructible
  • Added more tutorial decorations
  • Prevented tutorial gun turret from firing after you've passed it to avoid a tutorial soft lock
  • Improved the demo save game converter to better communicate what it does.
  • Changed save game compatibility to allow for more flexibility in old versions of the game running saves from future versions of the game.
  • Forced the game to be single instance
  • Fixed an issue where the death screen on permadeath briefly showed the game menu
  • Fixed an issue where being caught in one of the item launchers doors in the Palti fight sometimes didn't kill the player
  • Fixed an issue where throwing a wrongclone into the first boss fight could begin the fight

The plan & 7 years later
While I was cleaning out the closet yesterday, I found a super early drawing of the space station. Really weird and cool to see how far the game has come. CreatorCrate comes to Steam August 11!
