- Craft Keep Update (December 1, 2016) Sushi? - 1 December 2016
Good day crafters! Another update rolls out today into the live branch. As usual the full changelog is at the bottom! Sorry this took a bit longer than usual, as you know I have been moving homes and because the new place did not have a desk, I was developing with the PC on the ground, during that time I stepped by mistake on the external HDD that had the project on, at that point it failed, thank god I was able to retrieve the project folder out, so we are cool, here is a picture of me the moment I understood that the HDD has failed: Chapter 2: Still not done! But close. Chapter 2 stars off in a familiar Forest Pick setting, as you were thrown out of your stall during Chapter 1, you need to start off fresh, fulfilling low cost orders for miners at the Moira mines within the forest. Moira the druid has been hard at work keeping the mines free of the Kobs infestation, so many miners want…

- Craft Keep Update (November 18, 2016) - 18 November 2016
Good day crafters First off the bat - I will be moving homes for the next few days, as such I will be sluggish in replying to community posts and reviews and issuing hotfixes. The second my PC turns on in the new place - I will be working on Craft Keep again. Let's move on to some changes, as usual the full changelog can be seen at the end of the post! DISCLAIMER: Chapter 2 test now contains a set available order items, as well as objects unlocked, it is not advised to try and enjoy Craft Keep in the test environment, it should only be used to try out mining Iron and Silver from the veins and give feedback how that feels and works. The tutorial scene now has a NO button near the YES, you can turn away customers in case you see that you will fail an order. Don't worry another chap will ran up with the same order, basically resetting it. Scrolling text The story text in the Main scene was…

- Craft Keep Update patch uploaded! - 14 November 2016
Good day crafters Today a new patch has been uploaded to the public branch. Our main priority first of all is teaching players how to play and making everyone feel comfortable, so this patch will be mainly about that, and the begining of Chapter 2. Minor changes to item collisions, especially arrows and small vials, as to not have them roll so frequently.Broken blades heat up faster, and require less heat to be hit by the hammer for a fix. The "VR Settings" or as we like to call it "Beginning scene" (it's that white matrix like construct scene yada yada) Has a few changes.The text is more defined by a background image, as well all controllers that highlight which buttons have to be pressed are way bigger! The Room selection has been removed as we will allow teleportation to be used by any room scale.We allow the player to choose which grip option best suits them - either to hold the gri…

- Small update for Craft Keep - 12 November 2016
Hey crafters! After some initial feedback on the community forums we added a new way to teleport around for those who dont have enough space, that had you hold down on the right hand touchpad and target a zone you wanted to go to. Still it was not perfect. So now we have 2-3 ways of teleporting around, hopefully everyone will find the best fit for them and is as comfortable as possible! I will describe those ways in this announcement. A recipe clipboard is added, has some recipes for enchant gem charges and other fun stuff! By the way! All these photos were taken ingame with out own Craft Keep photo camera! Try it out in Free Mode, any pictures you take get saved into the Photos folder of the Data folder. Variation 1: Teleport via arc menu Touching the touchpad on the left hand (With the watch) will bring up a small menu with 3 choices, each choice is represented in the world where you…
