Ha, found an ancient Windows build of Growtopia from November 11th, 2012 (Buildo.exe) labeled "V0.01". Can't actually play online with it, I tried :D That slightly disturbing text on the about screen survived until 2018 I think (?)

Also, it appears ALL old Growtopia/ProtonSDK builds (pre July 2018) insta-crash on modern NVidia cards due to a dumb bug I made (I didn't expect OpenGL extension lists to be > 10KB in size). Oops. Worked around it by hacking the exe.

Yo you should check out the community's HTML5 and Wii (dolphin emulator to be fair) port of the game: play.creativeps.eu/creativegrow... It's SO FRICKIN UNBELIEVABLY COOL! Hope 2 see the community complete the ProtonSDK Wii port beyond Dolphin in a way that doesn't violate its hardware constraints.
