- CREATOR POWER Patch v1.0.1 is Now Live! - 13 September 2024
Greetings, mighty creators of infinite Universims! Making worlds is a true adventure! And, as it happens on adventures, sometimes the heroes need to rest and regain their strength on some peaceful, faraway planet. After we released TU 1.0, our dev team needed just such a rest - for it's been a perilous journey! But then, on one tranquil day, as we were farming and decorating our cottages, we again felt the call of the deep space. So, we restarted our engines and gathered around our spaceship's command table, planning our next course. Infinite space means infinite possibilities. Which way do we set sail this time? Before, we had a single goal - the release. With that great quest done, the possibilities before us are practically endless. What better time than now for you, our fantastic community, to take part in steering this project! This is why today's release is all about giving power…

- What the Future Holds - 22 May 2024
Hello everyone, I trust you're all doing well and making the most of each day. I wanted to share some updates from our end regarding the future of the company and our game. Let's dive into the game first. We're currently crafting a new update, one that injects fresh content into the game. The primary focus of this update is to provide players in the later stages, from modern and beyond, with avenues to utilize their surplus resources. Many players have amassed substantial resources with no clear direction for their use beyond planetary colonization. To address this, we're introducing a new feature inspired by the Tower of Babel. This building will serve as a resource sink, allowing players to contribute resources and engage in a mini-game within its confines. You'll have the opportunity to establish and expand a small colony within the tower, earning a score based on your progress. This…
- Bug Fixes & Improvements Patch - 2 April 2024
Hello Creators, Today, we released a new patch with some improvements and fixes. This patch addresses several localization issues as well as crashes that were reported to us. We are also happy to announce that Macs with M chips should no longer see a broken main menu. The issue was related to a Unity bug and our system not cooperating well with each other. As we move forward, we are encountering more edge case issues and fewer bugs that affect everyone. With this in mind, we are moving towards improvements and balance for the game based on the feedback we received on Steam and in our Discord channels. As we progress with this update, we will keep you informed about the estimated release dates. Currently, it is a bit early to provide specific dates. We will continue to iron out bugs and address any issues that arise as quickly as possible. Now, let's review what was fixed in this patch:…
