Congratulations!
GREAT GAME. Really good, and I like how you returned to the basic top down concept, which we really like. It feels a lot more finished and a lot of the annoying quirks (e.g. time, emitters, general HUD) have been solved. But, the biggest problem is the fact that there is no help menu. I always have to go find a video and watch it on the forge or something, and I lose like 15 minutes when I could be playing a this great game. Please implement the help menu. Apart form that thought, great job and well done
Woop! Rushing towards the page now! 😀
And purchased!
Thank you so much, can’t wait!
good work and ty 🙂

AT LAST!!! Thank you so much!
Well i know what my weekend…. week…. month is gona be.
I don’t chime in much but love your games
Keep up the good work.
TAKE MY MONEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Time to play
Right in time, demo finished and now the real creeper world.
Life got back the fun in game.
The first game i purchase cause it’s worth that money and more!!!
THX for this nice stuff and all the work u done on it
Yey! If I buy it now, will I get the linux version if/when it comes out?
If I get the linux version working (an ‘if’ given the problems are with Unity and I have to work around them), you will not have to buy the game again. All platforms come with one purchase.
Cheers! Off to buy!
Wait for Unity 4.3, they finally decided to put some 2D stuff in. Or even better libGDX (www.badlogicgames.com) if You like freedom and coding stuff instead of drag and drop and workarounds hehe.
Hope you’ll manage to. I don’t have any single copy of windows so please don’t give up! Best wishes.
At last, you may take my money.
Whoa whoa whoa. You said sometime in October and it’s only the 4th! This is a pleasant surprise before a weekend!
Thanks again for your hard work! It’s been fantastic watching the game develop. Now I need to leave for a while and destroy some Creeper!
Agreed! I expected a late-October release so much that I missed it by two days.
Same here, missed it by 4 days :/
Missed it by 7! 😀
Missed it by 12!
Virgilw,
when you had everything ready and CW3 up for sale, did you did a Dr. Frankenstein and yell “IT’S ALIVE!”?
And thank you in advance for another great game.
i work friday saturday and sunday then vacation for a week…you should have consolted me before you released…now vacation is going to go bad because i will be thinking about this the whole time. :p
cant wait to play congratz man
Same thing happening to me man your not alone
Noticed a spelling error at http://knucklecracker.com/common/buy.php
In the Creeper World 1 bit: desparate
Is that supposed to be disparate or desperate?
Either way, it’s going to put people off buying the game if they think you can’t spell.
Seriously? That’s my avatar?
lol 😛
Desperation fell over the disparate colonies of humanity as the creeper destroyed all before it….
>.>
On that note, I found two typos in the Farbor mission: The wrong use of “it’s” (should be its), and an accidental -ly on incredible.
Thanks, Virgil 🙂
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
i dont have money till 8th october, mabe even 22nd ='(
Buying now!
Heay i wanted to buy the game (i live in europa) but when i get to the final step is says i need to pay it in dolars but i need to pay more then in euro? if anny one nows how can stil pay in euro and not pay more (like i need to do with the dolars)
for the person eho responds tnx you 😀
ug ofcours in the alst line i make a typo ….. lol
I kinda get your point. I paid with paypal, paypal kindly told me how many euros 14.95 (is that it, right ?) dollars made in euros… and next, it announced me the total sum to pay would amount to, after conversion, something like 17.8 US$
Me : wut ?
I still paid, but I can’t help thinking paypal made a whoppingly massive commission on my purchase, this time.
Not knowing exactly what you see…
Dollars are less expensive than euro, about 11 euro and 15 dollar seems to be the rate today. From what I noticed, I was given a price in the local currency, but it said that it would charge my card in dollars. The only relevant thing here, is that the exchange rate won’t be exactly the same as displayed, it could be a bit higher and lower, depending on your bank’s exchange rates and the exact time of the transaction.
It is usually better to be charged in the “original” currency, as “stores” doing the conversion usually give worse exchange rates than banks.

Very many different money types, this calkulates them, and how much they are worth.
FINALLY!!!
I’ve been waiting for SO long for this to come out, and here it is! Exactly a month after my birthday! ^^
Thanks Virgil!!!!!!!!!
If you type ‘creeper world’ into google it goes to a 404. Probably because you’ve just shuffled things around. Be best if you put a redirect in. I know it’s ‘creeeper world 3’ but I was lazy and I wont be the only one.,
Finally! I was resigned to replaying the demo for few weeks but this is welcome.
You are mean. I can’t buy this until after school is out XD Cant wait <3
AWESOME!!! (I’m playing it currently)
Haven’t checked back for a few days. Thought I missed launch. Glad to see that this was posted today.
Quick Question… Already bought but it says, “If you want to try the 64bit version….”… Does that mean it is a beta? Has it been tested on 64bit… I would think so but just wanted to double check…
Thanks for all the hard work!
The 64-bit version has been tested as much or more than the 32-bit version. It’s the version I run. I just don’t want to confuse people when buying, that once reason I don’t show both versions all at once. If you don’t have the 2010 C runtime installed, the 64-bit version will also complain and not run. About 99% of people have this already, and if not there is a link to microsoft to grab it right next to the 64-bit CW3 download. It’s a Unity bug that the 64-bit binary requires this, but it is not an issue 99% of the time. That’s the other reason I de-emphasize the 64-bit version.
But, grab the 64 bit version and go to town… it works fine.
Awesome… Will do… One last thing….
Right click to cancel would be a great added tweak…. Love the game so far….
Look through menus and settings man. Trust me its there and more…
Grrr… Creeper World 3 gets released, I want to buy it, but I have no 15 $ because all my money is cash and not online available. More waiting while everyone else is playing this game. -_-
Who cares about new “tripe A title” like Battlefield 4, if you can get games like CW3 for one forth of the money?
What about copy protection? Has CW3 some kind like DRM bullshit? “After 3 installations you have to call this number to activate your game again”, “always-on internet connection” or something like this?
Lol… no drm 🙂 You can install the game as many times as you like and it doesn’t phone home. That’ what the big publishers do, and I’ve never liked it. All that CW3 has is a simple serial you enter once. Need to reinstall or get a new machine, just install and use the same serial again. This is true for all three CW games.
So I can download CW on my school computer? :3
(I seriusly mean it, we get to use our school computers for whatever we want between the normal hours :D)
Get a paysafe card from a gas station near you, you should be able to buy it with this. (or put the paysafecard on a empty paypal account and pay with paypal)
Thank you!!!
I thought it was going to be in the later part of october. Now i can play Creeper AND study for my finals!!
91.1 MB downloaded.- Now Installing!!!
And for less than 15 USD!!!
MAN….GAME IS AWESOME…..Now wheres my credit card…Time to buy this game. AND SO CHEAP.
Right before the weekend!
Perfect!
Virgil, I’m buying it right now… And playing til I sleep (in 7h i guess)… But if you ever manage do put in on steam, are we gonna be able to active our games there? Or we’ll have to buy’em again there?
Thank you Virgil !
Bought it.
I hope you take it as a comment, for nerds like me, I couldn’t give a copulation about the release of Grand Theft Auto, while I was more than eagerly waiting for Creeper World III, haha ^^
I’m still posting constructive feedback, unless I’m told this isn’t taken into account, I hope this is of some help, possibly :
– no way to close the Menu window with an Escape hit, seriously ? Really gotta click that upper-right cross ? And no way to enlarge the window to browse more easily the keyboard shortcuts submenu ?
– Any way we could delete our progression through the scenario and start from scratch ?
– To combine mouse and commands, the ideal solution for me would be to have a single right click do a “cancel”, while a right-click followed by a mouse movement do a “sroll the map up/down/left/right”
– We definitely need a confirmation we’ve successfully saved our game when we do a control-C
And the rest, another day, sleep is calling me ^^ Thanks for the game !
I think there is an way, go to %appdata% and you should find creeper world folders there… Just don’t blame me if you mess up the game…
NIce list. I’d like to add a point: Currently, left click with a unit selected works as a deselect, even when you have a selectable unit under the cursor (unless you hold shift or whatever modifier you set for multiselection). Could an option be added “single click reselection” which processes a single left click as both a deselect and a select? Speeds up instruction spam by a factor 2 😛 (Yeah, I should also just get used to multiselect, but that only works if you want to give all units the same instruction)
Never mind, just retested. It already works like that, except for weapons under construction (completed weapons don’t deselect but try to move).
Yay! Checking the site daily paid off. 🙂
$15? You are low-balling your efforts, sir. Yet, cheers! I’m off to make zombie faces at computer until I die from malnutrition.
$15 I agree is going low but hey if he is happy with the profits he makes and we are happy with the game he made then its a win/win 🙂
I expected the game to be about $25. Then the trilogy was $25. So I bought all three! (Also, I felt like I owed V to buy it because I kindasortamaybeaccidentallyonpurpose pirated a key for CW2 about a month ago.)
inb4 people go a little wild on me: I realize V’s an indie developer and piracy hurts. I entered the key because it was right there, and I wanted to try the game. It was a selfish move. When I became hooked, I promised myself I’d buy the game when 3 arrived. And I did.
at long last. DMD, CRPL, Story, here I come! thank you V.
virgilw,
I bought the game earlier today and i did not receive a E Mail giving the Download to it. is there a way you can send me the link?
thank you so much in advance!
I sent you an email. That should fix you up.
15 bucks !?!?!?!?!
Awesome~
Happy birthday to me!! OK, technically it’s still a few days away, but close enough.
YEEEEEESSSSSS I HAVE IT. I can’t wait to play :3 It is downloading now ^.^
So how’s the greenlight process coming along? Would love to be able to buy it.
I’ll be working on a greenlight page in the coming week…
Brilliant!
Looking forward to it – can´t wait to play the full version.
Awesome news, I’ve been somewhat franticly checking the ‘recent submissions’ page in steam since you released the demo. 😀
Goodbye, productivity!
MY PRECIOUS!!!!!!!
We wants its. Yes, we wants it, precious, we wants its. GIVE US THE PRECIOUS!!! Its ours, ours, my precious. Gives its to us! We wants its! We wants its! The creepers tries to takes the precious. The precious is OURS!!!
Sorry, my inner Gollum just broke loose. But after waiting two years,I think all of us have our inner Gollums bursting forth like the creeper through a broken wall.
So, one of the empires sealed of rift space to try and stop the creeper? Interesting way to fit the landlines into the storyline.
The Demo is awesome. Hopefully the full game will be better. I will most likely get it tomorrow.
For those with doubts, try the demo. It is freaking awesome. My only problem is that they got rid of the blaster. How could you take away the blaster. All it did was help you CRUSH THE CREEPER in games 1 & 2. But I suppose, the blaster was old technology. Whatever. Awesome game.
I’ve only yet played the DEMO so far and the only problem I’ve had is pressing the 6 & 7 keys and saying “Right, Weapons Tab.”. I really can’t wait until I can buy the full game.
Hey thanks so much for the new game, I found Creeper World on Kongregate way back when, eventually bought it and CW2, loved both…. I have been eagerly anticipating this new sequel and I am sure it will be great. I just purchased it and can’t wait to sink some serious time into it tonight! Thank you again!!! Creeper World is the best!
I already own CW1 and CW2, but I’m still buying the trilogy because I feel like Virgil undercharged us for this game. Thanks for I imagine will be an awesome game!!!!
Just buy a second copy of CW3 and give it to a friend. 🙂
Yeah, so i bought the game and my access code ain’t working. Wanna help me virgil? :/
Sorry, i was putting in the wrong thing. I got it working. 😀
Amazing, I can tell you, I am not going to sleep for a day or two… I enjoy playing this game. Kick back relax and take an hour per map if you want or go balls to the wall and try to beat other peoples times and scores, this is awesome.
On the world where you unlock your 2nd command center, I set my #1 on the right, and my #2 on the left, and was fighting creeper, then out of no where(very long into the game) my first one shot off into the sky and rained a little bit of anti creeper. I seen it take off and I was like what??? OOOOOH crap crap crap crap crap crap as the creeper came up and started tearing my right side buildings up. Very unexpected, would of liked some kind of warning it was going to happen but I had a nice laugh after I died 😛
Started to play CW2 & thought what the heck, I’ll go see if CW3 came out. YAYRAH!! Haven’t bought it yet, but I’m fixin’ to.
I just wanted to say Thank You for the game & THANK YOU for the price!! Was expecting $30 minimum. A generous genius. TYTYTY!
♥♥♥!
I’m off to purchase & play! (I’m sure I’ll be back shortly reading and/or asking questions. lol)
After two years of waiting… I can officially say what everyone is thinking…
THANK YOU VIRGILW!!! Already bought. I’m going to play it now!!!
Loving it so far \o/
Quick question though, can there be a fullscreen windowed option in some future patch?
Had to take a break to say awesome! Took a crack at Normandy.. I don’t go much for high scores as I do for just fun… And indeed it was fun.
I saw the CTRL tower, but had a question. Are you going to do a tutorial or a txt file with CTRL syntax? Would love to start having some fun with that!
Also I’m not too much into map making to be honest, but would love to code some CTRL towers. Anyway to just code and post it for others to use?
Enough of a break, back to the action. Thanks again V!
Found the Wiki. Nevermind about the CRPL.
Just beat it. Ermagerhd. 2:47 AM. All the worth <3 . I loved the story line and I am going to have to check out the other option on the last mission tomorrow. Seriously though. Wow. I can't wait to play the rest of the missions and have fun with DMD.
Heya, just bought the game and it just keeps crashing, its making error reports but i dont know quite where im meant to be sending them, i literally just get a ‘The game crashed’ error message. Help! 🙁
Make a post on the forums and tell us your computer specs, what version you are using, and any other information you think is relevant.
The vast majority of the time a full reboot will fix this issue. If not, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Those two things fix this problem 99% of the time.
Dear Virgil,
I love your games and SO want to throw money into your face.
Your payment provider won’t let me though.
German IP + German Credit Card + German Address = fail
Spanish IP + German Credit Card + German Address = fail
Spanish IP + Spanish Credit Card + German Address = fail
Spanish IP + Spanish Credit Card + Spanish Address = fail
Spanish IP + Paypal + German Address = fail
Spanish IP + Paypal + Spanish Address = fail
German IP + Paypal + German Address = fail
(All tests on Chrome + Opera and two different machines – really want to play N O W)
So… A bit xenophobic? Euros suck? Virgil is getting to much money anyway? Your payment provider doesn’t want me to spend october on CW3? Stopping me from giving you money doesn’t seem like a sensible thing and failing without providing a reason (paypal did mail me “payment authorised” messages, so it’s probably not me) – way to frustrate customers!
Dear Virgil, please have a payment provider that is at least 1% as awesome as you are!
Germany is actually third on the list of most popular countries the game is being purchased from (right behind the UK and ahead of Canada). In the first 6 hours there were purchases from over 40 different countries, including I think every EU country. Just send a mail to info@fastspring.com and they will get you sorted out. They have good customer services from everything I have heard.
Have you tried not using stolen credit information?
*just a thought*
Great to see that the game is finally being released!
My only concern is that if I buy it now, will I get a steam key should it be greenlit?
If I can’t get the key, I will be waiting for a couple of weeks so I can get it on steam.
If the game gets greenlit, and of course if Valve approves, I’ll of course give anyone who purchased the game a steam key as well. That is of course all conditional on the game getting greenlit, and it may be a while before something like that happens.
Yaaaaaay! Bought!
Thank you for the release. I would like it more if I could buy it without giving my full address and telephone number (Yeah I know, I just could fill it with fake data, but it would be better if this fields are not obligatory). Thanks!
The reason for this is so that you can’t steal someone else’s credit card without knowing where they live…. doesn’t quite add up in the general scheme of things, but it’s what fastspring does.
I had 1+2 for my birthday last November after playing for months on Kongregate.
Guess what I’m going to ask for this year?
Yeeeeeeessssss! 🙂 I have been waiting for this for what feels like forever. I like how it joins the top-down view of CW1 with the ability to nullify the emitters from CW2. Then there’s a whole bunch of new stuff to play around with.
The little graphics (like the puff of dust when the Command Node lands and the emitter’s “breathing”) just make it all the more fun to play. Thank. You. TONS! It was definitely worth the wait.
If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go play now.
That was a “the computer was so slow that I thought it didn’t send” mistake. Sorry.
Virgil… Stop ripping yourself off! $15?! My brother offered to buy me this for Christmas. Last year. But hey, it got released! I’ll bein my bunk… Forever…
Yippeeee ! Just bought it, ready to deal with some more creeper in the heart of Paris (France).
Don’t worry if you don’t have any news in the next days 😉
okay so for people like me with limited monthly data/ limited connectivity; how large is the full game for download?
@kill11 : about 92Mo for the full version.
Admit it. How many people have completed the game already?
loved the ending, one of the first 40 people to finish it. Preferred the better ending
I hope you know what I mean virgil.
The creeper must die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feedbacking…
A fleeting impression : did I really see drones lift off from a station right next to a max-height terracrafted wall and immediably pass above the wall ? Realistically, there should be, maybe, an animation to tell they’re gaining height ? Or else, lifting off and starting in a direction opposite to the wall, then turning round ?
This thought about wall heights bugs me. If we have a mortar shooting its pellets above a super-high wall, its pellets should cover a shorter horizontal distance, since part of the launching energy was spent throwing the item upwards, instead of using a lower curve….
On a fantasy note, may I leave a suggestion for Creeper World 4 : 3Dify your game. Like we do with a Google Earth program view, when we suddenly find the keyboard/mouse trick to make it “not fully seen from the above” 😉
I like Isometric better than 3D
Well really, if there is a valley or something, an airplane isn’t going to rise/lower 20/30 feet to be even with the terrain under it. It just flies over it like it were flat, just like in this game.
Don’t think I’ve ever gone to so much effort to be able to pay someone. But from the Demo it’s going to be well worth.
Really would have liked some more payment options besides paypal and cc though.
can it not be online?????
(ps) no download
You only need to be online for the download, and first time running it (it will verify your key). After that, there is no need to have internet. [V. Actually, you only have to be online to download the game]
no down load :-I
Virgil’s key activation must use a certain algorithm to generate and test the keys against. This is ok, but it’s much easier to crack. J/s.
Where is mission objectives? Or how to get back last dialog? I am stack on the last mission, don’t know what to do, enemy is just flying around, I cannot kill him, he can’t kill me. Some circles down here, but what should I do with them?
In the orbital tab there is a little button called ‘Archived Transmissions’ below the CN buttons. Click it to re-watch the dialog.
Nope, I need last dialong, and that button has only first one. Mission objectives where in the last dialog, but I didn’t read them, too many text.
then terraform the circles to lvl 1. You’ll know what to do then. You should really read stuff, it isn’t that hard…
When I saw this yesterday, i practically squealed, bought it immediately, and forgot to post this because i was too busy playing it.
Finally, I’ve been trying to hand you my loot for a year! Time to spread the word…
A couple quick experience thoughts, delete at will. Not to sound ungrateful, I mean this as constructive criticism.
1) The initial price seems too low, leaving little room for discounting later on steam or bundled or whatever, etc.
2) The purchase page seems too intrusive requiring a lot of personal information to buy a $15 game, even through paypal which has my phone number and address, etc.
3) Why didn’t I get a release notice? I purchased both 1 and 2 separately, have commented on the blog in the past and have used the forum in the past. Where is the marketing push? Popup have my email, why did I have to come to you?
4) I suppose I’ll stop complaining now and go play the game.
On point 1: Agreed, it’s a low price for a good game, although it could be higher because the game is that good, NOT because there should be possibilities for discount stunts. And even though it’s a great game maybe he figured he’d make more money this way? Lower price means more copies sold, etc… While we blog-readers and forum-goers know the game well enough to pay a lot more, I doubt we’re the bulk of his income.
Or maybe Virgil is just being nice and set the price to make us happy? I know this price makes me happy.
Agreed so much on point 2. Fastspring does not NEED to know that about me. Not if their payment options are reasonably secure.
Agreed on 3, is there a mailing list I should’ve been on?
Amen to 4. Playtime!
I just ulocked the “Tormeted Space” and “Prospector Zone”.
And … holly Quest… soo many Stars … soo many Worlds … soo many Missions!
Seems like i will never have to buy another game now XD
exactly how many worlds are there?
I love the way you even animated the legs of the runners!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh snap!
Terraria and CW in the same week? Goodbye world.
Yes…
Terraria 1.2 and CW3… What to play…
*Looks at steam*
Terraria takes 7-8 hours to download… CW3!
I just realized that nobody has asked this question yet: when is the release date? 😉
More feedback as I can play 🙂
– We REALLY need to be able to see the coverage zones of all of the devices of the type we’re about to plant.
Example, my first map with Shield technology. I’ve put one here, one there, another here… And to hell if I am now able to find spots not covered yet. Ideally, as soon as I click the Shield icon in order to put a new Shield on the map, we’d get the areas around the already installed shields highlighted.
I mean, when they are set and active, we see their coverage. But not when we set them up.
– The same remark goes for Terps, in terraforming mode it would be useful to be shown the coverage area of the Terps..
And beams!!
With some of the spores in levels and given the vast size of the maps it’s really difficult to figure out spore coverage…. also given the size of the maps it’s hard to tell where/when a spore hits!
I have an idea for one of the updates. You know how when you have everything selected, and press M to keep everything in the same formation as they move? Well. how about when anyone is placing multiple weapons at once, they can press M to space out the weapons depending on their range (just like the collectors and relays are setup)
I fell like the story missions are lacking story but the game-play is great well now it’s time for the free CW3 on kongergate you getting first place this time with no kingdom rush beating you and maybe just maybe CW prequel Plautus’s journey or am i hopeing for to much
Man, love it already. Definitely meets my expectations, and more!
Though, there is one thing I can’t figure out: Do ore mines run dry? I can’t seem to find any indication of whether or not they do.
Not that I’ve seen so far 🙂
They do not. The only differences between ore deposits are their rate of return.
Once a mission is beaten, aether and AC should be free… I hate having to wait for it to fill up whenever I want to continue a map with creeper still on it
Two years was an awful long time to wait for such a tiny game. I finished it in a day. Luckily, you put a bunch of random maps in it, and gave us a way to make our own maps. $15 was too much. I hope there will be expansions to the story or something, because right now, I’m feeling betrayed.
On the good side, I have found no bugs, glitches, etc…. so the workmanship is top-notch. Maybe I’ll feel better once people start posting maps online…. tho you should be at least a little ashamed, taking so long for a small game, then coasting on the glory brought to it by the end users.
Overall, My opinion of you, Mr. Wall, is very high. You’ve brought us a story that is unique. You’ve given us a game that is unique. You obviously have more talent in your little finger than all the programmers working for other companies. I’m certain whatever work you decide to do now, it will be as good as or better than your former work. You have given both me, and my son, endless hours of entertainment, and with that in mind, I retract my complaint about the price. The thanks goes partly to you, and mostly to the people that come after, who will make diabolical maps for me to enjoy.
I suspect there will be years of entertainment from your game, and I thank you.
Sincerely,
Ordinaryman
Betrayed? $15 at release? Tiny? What are you an ordinaryman whose main source of income is raking leaves for the elederly woman next door, who regularly pays you a dollar a week in addition to a slice of rhubarb pie?
If you don’t enjoy the massive replayability of the game and only hoped for a long story (which is there just to be there really) then you shouldn’t have bought it.
Also, I wouldn’t call a ~6 hour story “short”.
Umm, what? You have no idea how much effort it takes to make a game especially by yourself. Plus he made the DMD random map generator that will give you billions of maps. Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to make a map generator that isn’t crap? Very!!!
$15 is too much for this? Hardly. You can spend that amount in a mediocre restaurant without even trying and you only get maybe an hour of entertainment.
If by tiny, you mean the EXACT opposite, I agree 🙂
This game is definitely worth it. If you want more maps, visit the DMD on the main menu. There all more maps than you could possibly count in a century!
You sir obviously don’t know how to code let alone create a game. Please, don’t say stuff like that, development takes a long time to say the least.
I also fell that the story was lacking and 6 hours is very little but if you ask me the propecter zone and tormented space fix that there’s a lot of work to do there
Keep in mind of the two years, I think like less than 3 months of it was spent on making the story missions. I think you should play around with the map editor, see if you can find more fun! Sorry to hear about your buyer’s remorse (it’s never fun).
It is not possible to chose multiple units while they’re moving.
Is it a bug or a feature?:)
I can do it just fine. Check your settings pause the game when selecting all. You may just be clicking too slow. What this game really needs is a deselect button!
What’s wrong with Shift + Click on selected unit? Deselects just fine :]
Even thought I already own CW 1 & 2 I bought the complete tirlogy, just to support you. After playing the main story and taken a look a the first few mission worlds I feel no regrets in doing so!
The story was interesting and had some nice twist in it. I especially enjoied the final mission, both story wise and gameplay wise both ends where realy fun! Overal, playing playing the main story mission holds more content than the story of many of those new AAA titles that come out nowadays. I also realy liked what you did with the credits too, had so much fun there =)
The alternate ends also (booth) fit very well with the general story theme of the game and taken how the whole story turns out there could be a infinite number of sequels – and I hope there will be some in the future.
The few mission worlds I played or took a look at so far displayed a great varity of difficult levels which is realy nice – and good lord… there are so many of those, it will take a while to clear all of them xD
Then there is also the DMD generating infinite maps to enjoy… As well as a map browser for soon to come community maps… This game may not have a multiplayer, but it still dosn’t fall short in its potential when it comes to replayability.
So, to sum things up:
THANK YOU VIRGILW FOR MAKING AN AWSOME GAME!
What is wrong nowadays. After all fees price for me went up to whole 20 dollars.
Just choose US and there will be no taxes;)
That’s because V posted a price excluding VAT. The purchase of CW3 equals you spending the price for the game (15$) and your country’s VAT (for example mine is 23%, so I paid around 3 dollars more = 18$).
FINALLY! ITS HERE!!!!!!
Oh wow… What an ending! I did the, let’s say, newer, CRPL heavy one first and then went back and did, let’s call it the “throwback” ending second (I suppose the first one I did is as well, but to a different game). I see why it took so long to do, although to be honest, it felt kind of underwhelming after the struggle/panic that was Farbor. I had three minutes left and probably an elevated pulse.
Hell yeah!!! WAITING FOR A FULL VERSION TORRENT!!! Just kiddin’ 😉 Nice job, but… i don’t know why I still have better fun playing CW:Evermore then CW3… 🙁
I think it is because of the maps. All of the maps are always the same size, and the emitters are always together. Not only that, but in evermore, the terrain isn’t so patchy. A player can essentially build wherever unlike CW3.
So happy to finally have this. Great game what ive played so far and for only £9.99ish when exchanged. Bargain, my only concern is at this price can you make enough money to spend time making us more creeper games? Spending £35 on GTA V now seems an insane amount in comparison. Thanks Virgil
Lol is anyone else in the habit of still checking the blog daily? 😉
I feel like an administrator helping everyone hahaha
Yeah, i´m still checking the blog once or twice a day.
Waiting for the Greenlight to come… i want to play dammit 😀
Can we jokingly complain that we’ve been waiting DAYS for a Creeper World 4 release?
Any strategy tips?
I walked through ark eternal like a breeze (interesting gameplay tough!) but not in tormented space I’m on my limits. Especially “kilnaleport”, I keep trying it since days, but I’m always getting overwhelmed with creeper sooner or later no matter which strategy I’m trying.
Well, without seeing the mission you’re having trouble with, all I can give you is generic advice. But at least that way, you’ll be able to use it on all missions, not just this one.
To survive against the creeper, you need to push it back as hard as it pushes forward. So you need weapons enough to do that. Whether it’s Mortars on creeper pools, or Pulse Cannons on an open field, you need to be able to power these weapons, which is where collectors and reactors come in. You need enough energy to hold steady, and preferably enough that you can also build other buildings as well. Like more reactors, which can power more weapons, which can start to push the creeper back, take back more land, and build more reactors. And so on in that fashion, until every map is beaten.
If that isn’t enough for a certain mission, then it’s time to start pulling out advanced tactics. If you have too little space to work up energy, but you have access to totems, you can mass-upgrade your energy from the Forge, making up the difference. If you can’t seem to hold the creeper back well enough, make a shield instead of a weapon, or build a Terp and create a max-height wall around your base. Then just employ a couple mortars to keep the creeper from sloshing over. Sometimes, the most damage can be done on creeper not quite close enough to hit with mortars. In that case, employ Strafers or Bombers to reach those places.
And that’s all I can come up with just now. I hope SOMETHING in that mess helps you out. Good luck to you, and whoever else reads this.
I can’t remember the missions I had to do this on but there was one or two missions that instead of making a wall it worked better to get a mortar and make a pit in front of my weapons because without it my weapons would get overrun since blasters and sprayers can’t fire over walls ofc. Also for starting out use sprayers as much as you can without going into an AC deficit. Since they don’t use energy they are very good for starting hard missions.
There is a forum post about specific missions.
You can always refer to here for help with those missions, but for this scenario,

You should start here. 🙂
anybody found out how to input CRPL into custom towers when making customs maps. seems the interface has changed since the original video explanation. I double click for the CRPL tower properties and can change size, colour etc but not the script. Help please.
Create and edit scripts. Compile the scripts. Then make a CRPLTower on the map. Double click the tower to edit then associate any compiled scripts with that crpltower. Ask on the forums and I’m sure plenty of folks will provide more detail.
Hey, I found a bug. On the world Choix, in the Egos system, I beat the nullifier and got the Key, but I didn’t unlock the final world. I already have the shield keys from Ruine and Defi. What should I do?
Restart the mission and play it through without saving and loading… that should let you continue. The next patch should make this all better…
Ok thanks
I was hoping this was just my computer, but there seems to be a major bug in this game. After a random interval of time, the game completely crashes my computer. It even puts my monitor into sleep mode! When I reset my computer, Norton Autofix popped up with a message. The reason of the crash was “Product Service Dependency”. This has only happened twice, but I don’t want it to continue happening. Is this happening to anyone else? Did you already know of this bug Virgilw, and will you fix it? I can’t guarantee it is this game, but I have had this computer for about 2-3 years and i don’t recall this ever happening this before.
Just saying 🙂
The game is written in C# on mono as part of the Unity runtime. It’s several levels above anything that can directly cause an OS crash. If windows is crashing, it doesn’t have anything to directly do with the game. There could be GPU driver problems, directx problems, corrupt system libraries, bad ram, malware, overzealous anti-virus software… about a gazillion things that could go wrong (Which is one reason publishers hate the PC as a platform. Support issues are so incredibly common because of the massive variability of individual PCs and other software that can cause issues).
If you google “Product Service Dependency” you get some hints that might help.
Does CW3 support multi-threading? Like, if I have an i3 (dual-core) and i5 (quad) of the same architecture and clockspeed, would the i5 be better or would there be no difference? Also, how important is graphics processing power?
I have another *big* problem! >.<
So yesterday when I got on this game, ALL MY PROGRESS WAS GONE!!!
Again, i really doubt it had anything to do with the game itself. I think someone else or I might have been messing with some settings or something. It's fine though. The game only recently came out. I only had all the story missions complete, about 1/5th of tormented space complete, and a great custom map, along with credits and a couple DMD beaten. But its okay… not like anything worth saving… ;p
On to my point: Is there any way I can DEFINITELY keep my progress, or even get my progress back? I tried a couple things, including restoring previous versions, but its like there were none saved. I think the game may save internally instead of on the computer? Okay well this is getting long so I just want to know. Is there anything I can do?
I’m not sure if this really is where it saves the progress, but try C:\Users\”user name”\AppData\Roaming\CreeperWorld3
I give up… Stuck on Farbor…
The Loki win… :'(
I have a problem here: I had just finished Otrav, The first planet in the Andere System and when I went back to the map it still said that Farbor was shielded, i checked and I had gotten all the keys I needed. Then I looked around the map and saw that all of the worlds that were shielded before were shielded again, and I couldn’t access them at all. I turn the game off and came back today and the problem remains. I’m going to try re-doing a mission and retrieving a shield key to see if that fixes it, but I’ll be checking back here if it doesn’t work. Thanks in advance to anyone who can come up with any ideas to help me with the problem.
Okay, I replayed the planet and I got the missing Shield key. That worked but all the other planets are locked still. I guess I can just replay the planets and get the proper shield keys.
weird I played this and the planets don’t remain shielded they just let me replay when ever I want.
LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL! I returned my command thing full of anti creeper and it dropped it all over the map!
WOO HOO ITS FINALLY OUT! $15 MORE GOING TO KNUCKLE CRACKER SOON!!!!!!!!!! looks awesome nice work, ima get this ASAP 😛
GREAT GAME. Really good, and I like how you returned to the basic top down concept, which we really like. It feels a lot more finished and a lot of the annoying quirks (e.g. time, emitters, general HUD) have been solved. But, the biggest problem is the fact that there is no help menu. I always have to go find a video and watch it on the forge or something, and I lose like 15 minutes when I could be playing a this great game. Please implement the help menu. Apart form that thought, great job and well done
Just checked out the tormented space sector map…Holy C**P that’s alot of worlds. Think ill be busy for the next 2 years, just in time for creeper 4.
Any news regarding Steam Greenlight?
I am still waiting to play CW3… but i want it asap!
Just download the demo
I have noticed one major problem with this. Sound will not play, I have checked speakers and computer volume and game volume and they are all on, I cannot figure out why sound is by playing for me with this
Also, I think it would be a really cool addition to the game to add co-op matches, kinda like how BTD5 made a standard tower defense game co-op, like split the command nodes between players and play LAN or on a server and play with 2-3 players in a match, it would make the game a lot more appealing in my opinion and keep players playing longer
You never did tell us who made the Inhibitors… 😉
i want to try some of the alternative play mission you showed in the trailer could you tell me where i could play them are they in tormented space or?
The mission that actually says Alternative Play is the Credits mission, from the main menu. There are also levels in the Alpha sector that change the rules up a bit. Though some are normal levels as well.
So where is the map editor?
I meant the custom map community – how much longer ’till that?
Is the game going to be able to buy with steam?
I’ve played the Flash versions of CW and they convinced me to drop the $15 on CW3. I’m only a couple of hours in but it’s been a blast so far.
Keep up the great work!
