Creeper World 4

Update Notes for Version 2.2.9

  • Over 20 bugs fixed.
  • Two new 4rpl scripting commands: GetCreeperCoverage, ClearPrintLog.
  • Updated HTTPS packaged.
  • Game feature addition: Hide spore lines. Found in the Options menu on the right of the game screen.
  • Game feature addition: Wildcard support for authors filter in Colonies. Supports "-" like the tags filter does. Works with wildcards and multiple entries So "-a*,-b*" would exclude authors that start with 'a' and 'b'. "a*,b*" would include only authors that start with 'a' and 'b'.

None of the categories really match...
There are 10 steam awards nomination category things. None of them are really a good fit for Creeper World 4. Or the other way around maybe... you know what I mean. So I picked one: Most Innovative. But you say, "yeah, but I've been playing CW since like 2009 back when the earth was young and giants roamed the land". True. But those all happened in parallel realities so CW1/2/3/4 are all really just different instances made by the same Knuckle Cracker in different timelines. Ergo the same 'game' and the same innovation. Q.E.D.

But, pick something else... that's fine too. Let me know in the comments below what you picked. Also be sure to subscribe and click the notific.... oh, sorry. Wrong platform. Scratch that last part.

Updates for 2.1.4
Small update for a couple bug fixes, one affecting minor creeper emission in the Farsite story mission.

Update 2.1.2
More bug fixes and more 4rpl scripting APIs for map makers to use in their creations...

  • Over 10 bug fixes, including issues with MVerse
