Creature Clicker - The Conversion Update
I was going to hold off on this update for a few weeks but it has an important change that will help a lot of players with a back log of Ascension Shards
New Feature:
Conversion
You can now access the conversion manager via the profile page and this will allow you to exchange your unused Power Shards & Cards for Boss Souls, this is a feature that was requested by several players so i hope you guys find it useful
New Variants:
This update welcomes 7 new variants which each have a challenge to complete in order to unlock them
This update also welcomes our first Legendary Variant called Malinawa who is a collosal apex predator and a variant of Tyranrai
There's also a new Variant called Sakkarasu that is the first Variant to have a Loyalty Challenge which unlocks the Nightcrest Sakkarasu, a sinister version of itself
Raid Bosses:
I have updated 8 of the raid bosses to the new graphical style and created a storyline that flows between the raid boss phases, this gives the whole raid boss system a quest line to follow, making it more engaging and interesting
Changes:
-I've changed the Ascension Shards to Power Shards to avoid any confusion
-Power Shards are now also used to power up creatures
Off topic:
I also wanted to share something with you guys, it's a piece of artwork that i had commisioned for the new Phat Phrog office, i think it's amazing and it looks great on the wall. It has creatures from all my games
I also had some 3d models created, printed and painted. they're not on the shelf yet but they're looking great
An update on future Achievements
I just wanted to do this announcement to be transparent on what my stance will be on future achievements
So i've decided that there wont be any more "collect x amount" achievements but until the game is finished there will be more achievements for collecting new creatures, ascending creatures or completing feats because it would be weird to not get achievements for ascending creatures or doing a variant challenge
I hope this clears things up
Thanks

Remote Play Together!
I've enabled Remote Play Together which allows your friends to connect and play with you over the internet
Simply send your friend an invite via the Steam overlay and then when your friend connects, ask them to press the "Share" button to enable their ingame controller
I've made it so that your friends can help you defeat enemies by helping with additional clicks
Please let me know if you have any bugs as i've had minimal testing with this feature but from the testing i have done it works well, however the bugs you discover i will patch and put out with the next update in April
I should also mention that intentionally only "controller 1" can click buttons on the UI and this is done to stop everyone from clicking buttons accidentally if you have 4 friends connected
Thanks guys

Finally! cloud saves should now be working, please let me know if there's any issues as i've had limited testing with this feature but it works on my computer and my tester's computer's
Thanks! ːsquirtmehː

Creature Clicker - The Big Ascension Update
I hope you're well
So today is the launch of the Big Ascension Update which brings a lot of changes to Creature Clicker to hopefully make it a much more enjoyable and engaging experience and lay a solid foundation for future updates
Before i start i just wanted to say thanks a lot to everyone who has supported me over the years
Also you can grab Creature Clicker for a massive discount this week:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/529240/Creature_Clicker__Capture_Train_Ascend/
I'm going to go over the features and changes of this update:
Unfortunately i couldn't get cloud saves working although i tried, i'm going to have to look further into this for the next update
Update 1:
Creature Clicker now has over 50 creatures inclusive of ascended forms and variations and every creature has been renamed to fit with their ascended forms
Creatures now have 3 phases of ascension that changes their form, however there are currently 3 creatures in the game that have ascension variation forms which can be unlocked by completing their relevant challenges, you can switch between these variations once you've unlocked them
There's also over 100 new achievements in this update for you achievement hunters, i hope you enjoy them!
Update 2:
The entire game has had a graphical overhaul, all of the zones have backgrounds that match the area and a lot of the other rooms in the game have had a similar graphical overhaul, unfortunately due to time constraints i couldn't get round to doing all of the rooms but rest assured they will be patched in the next update
Update 3:
Creature skills are now much more powerful but no longer can they be purchased using gold, I would really recommend starting a new game so that you get the benefits of these new skill sets. Also there's a new currency being introduced in The Big Ascension update called Ascension Shards and these can be obtained by defeating creatures, unascended creatures have less chance to drop shards than Ascended creatures. You will now find that 1st Ascension creatures will spawn and are tougher than unascended creatures but they give much higher chance of ascension shards and also higher xp rewards
Mini bosses that spawn every 12 levels are now Final Ascension creatures and they drop much more Ascension Shards
Update 4:
Raid Bosses have had a lick of paint to make them fit more with the game's aesthetics and they also talk to you as you battle them, however i couldn't finish them all in time for this update so i've released the ones that i have finished and the other ones will be released in the next update
Update 5:
Creature Clicker now has it's own OST, it replaces the generic Life of Riley loop
I hope you enjoy this update and i'm sure there are bugs, i've changed so much code in the game and i've tried to test everything but i'm only 1 man so if you find a bug please report it and i will patch it
Again, thanks a lot for the support, i really appreciate it
PS: let me know which creature is your favourite, personally i think Tyranrai is the coolest but i'm looking forward to hearing your opinions, suggestions and feedback!
