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?

Should I tell my friends about Crea?

Should I wait for Steam Summer Sale to buy Crea?

A 1.0 release means no bugs, right?
