Creation

Creation is a 2011 online multiplayer sandbox Flash game developed by Jacob Grahn.
Announced that June as a replacement for his forum's vBulletin chat, it eventually turned into its own game by October and was published on other websites in early 2012."Creation". Jiggmin. June 18, 2011."Jiggmin.com - Creation" (October 2011 archive)
==Gameplay==
Creation is a sandbox game where players create their own world (known as "rooms") or build in someone else's using a variety of blocks.
Players can sign in with their Facebook, jiggmin.com, Kongregate or Newgrounds account, or play as a guest. Each room comes with a chat, which includes a drop-down list of all other rooms that currently have players in them. Creators have powers to set a password for their room, kick people out, as well as give building and kick abilities to other players.
== Blocks ==
Block	Name 	Description
 	Electricity	Basic block.
 	Dirt 	Can be burned by lava and combined with water to make grass.
 	Grass 	Created when water and dirt mix.
 	Lava 	Sets grass, dirt and players ablaze.
 	Plasma 	Basic block; only type that can float.
 	Rock 	Created when water and lava combine.

Creation was Jiggmin's first game to have Newgrounds medals, though incomplete code never let them be obtainable. As such, they were removed between 2013 and 2015."Creation" - Newgrounds (May 2013 archive)

==Shut Down==
Although the game's server had been down for several months at that point, Jiggmin announced in September 2015 that he was dropping support for Creation along with most other multiplayer games besides Platform Racing 2. He said:
"Managing [game] servers is another time drain. They'll need to be streamlined or removed. I plan to keep PR2 running at least until PR4 is out, though.""Platform Racing 4 and the Future!". Freegoose. September 9, 2015.
The announcement coincided with the launch of his new forum Freegoose.
There have been no fan projects to revive the game or set up private servers, leaving it unplayable.
==Trivia==
*This was the first game Jiggmin published on Facebook.
*The player avatars (known as Planks) come from Competitive Line Waiting.
**The chat design originates from Jiggmin's 2009 project "Jiggy Chat"."Jiggy Chat". Jiggmin. April 25, 2009. It was implied to be planned for Platform Racing 3, but was replaced by the time the game released.
*Jiggmin later revealed he developed Creation to test how possible multiple players editing levels in real-time would be for a Platform Racing game."Platform Racing 4". Jiggmin's Village. April 11, 2012.
*Creation was originally planned to be published on Armor Games as indicated by Jiggmin's announcement blog, a photo from the official Facebook page and unused code that checks for a login.
*While the game's been removed from Kongregate, its comment section is still up.
*Spamming the chat will result in the message: "The Ohmu are enraged", referencing the creatures in the Miyazaki film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind."Comments for Creation on Kongregate" (March 4-May 8, 2012)
