Crea is now out of Steam Early Access! First of all, thank you to everyone who took a risk and supported us during Early Access (and before). Let's make the next stage of development even more successful! Now lets get some questions answered.

Will Crea continue development now that it is released?

YES! First I will focus on fixing remaining issues and polishing some more and then new features/content.

Should I tell my friends about Crea?

YES! We all know how under the radar Crea is. Help it be successful by telling your friends, communities, favorite youtubers/streamers about Crea.

Should I wait for Steam Summer Sale to buy Crea?

NO! After the launch discount the next discount will be 25~% off during Steam Winter Sale (December).

A 1.0 release means no bugs, right?

Sadly no, there are still several issues being worked on. I ask for your patience and help as they are resolved. You can read about the current known issues here.

How is Crea different from other sandbox games?

I did my best to write an objective post on this. Hopefully you find it useful! http://steamcommunity.com/app/280520/discussions/0/357288572117808789/
