Hi everyone!
We’re excited to share that a new Multiverse Designer update is now available. This new update is a preparation for the early access release and it comes with several bug fixes, new features and Kickstarter rewards for our backers:
Dice Roll System: You can now choose between three roll modes, using the User Preferences window, accessed in the main menu, or the new button while in combat mode:
Default (Classic Multiverse Designer Roll): Toss the dice and watch them roll as usual.
Quick: Stop the dice instantly with a click.
Automatic: Skip the roll and get instant results — perfect for faster sessions.
Hide From Player Property: With it, Game Masters can hide objects or creatures from players, preventing spoilers and keeping exploration more immersive.
Player View: This functionality allows Game Masters to see only the objects the players are currently viewing, according to the Hide From Player property.
Fog of War: Fog of War now fully works in network game sessions.
Cutscene Director: Cutscenes now fully work in network game sessions.
Player Travel/Teleport: You can use the pawn asset to teleport all players who are taking part in an online game, right to the location of another pawn asset – which can be on the same map or on a completely different one in the same campaign.
Characters Grouping: Now characters can also be added in object groups.
New “Invisible” Character: It can be used in conjunction with the grouping functionality to allow the game master to control any object on the map as if it were a character.
Weapon selection for almost all characters: Until now, several character models had default weapons that couldn’t be changed: if they were armed with a sword but your character sheet said it was a warhammer, you could change the stats rule-wise, but visually it would still be a sword. To do this, we searched the assets in the game and extracted about 200 weapons and shields from several of them. Then we created a system where players can choose which weapon will be in each hand.
New Animations: New animations have been added for multiple characters, designed to work seamlessly with the latest version of Criteria.
Top-Level Cutter: This new tool lets the GM slice through map layers so players can see inside dungeons or multi-level areas with ease.
Criteria: now the system has 212 nodes to implement RPG rules, the editor interface has been improved and it now has search and cross reference functionalities;
Kickstarter Rewards: This patch will also include some of the exclusive Kickstarter tiers rewards:
