R36 – The “you” Update

If you’ve been paying attention to our recent UI changes, it should come as no surprise that a fresh coat of paint for the main menu was long overdue. It now has a polished, simplified layout featuring you (or more accurately your player character). It also has our new Public Worlds gallery where you can find and join worlds looking for newcomers, or set your own world as “Public” to list your world and recruit new adventurers. Plus, you can “like” your favorite worlds and use our improved search to find whatever special corner of the Creativerse speaks to you.

If you’ve been paying attention to us on social media, you’ll know we recently asked what stairs, slabs and slopes YOU would like to see us add. The survey results are in, and so are the new blocks — 30 of them to be precise! Among the most popular requests were for Grass, Dirt and Glass versions. Great suggestions, everyone!

If you’ve been paying attention, R36 is dedicated to you players, especially those who pay attention. Thank you for the attention! As always, please share your feedback with us…

P.S. Watch out for the new CORRUPTED ROCKSTER! We hear he’s a real grouch!
