It's been a long road. We started in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, with the idea of creating a simple way to play RPGs online. And today, more than 5 years later, we are launching Multiverse Designer. Much has been done, but we still have many things to do.
We already have almost 10,000 assets, we have Criteria, our rules creator, we have cutscenes, rain, snow, avatars, texture editors, lights and faces, splines, forests…
And we also have a place to go: our next big goal is the Asset Spawner, which will automatically populate the maps.
But most importantly: we need you. We want to hear from the community and we have been doing so since the launch of our Kickstarter. Send suggestions, bugs, ideas, and criticisms! All will be read and we will act on them.
Lastly, and always, we want to thank our backers, who believed in us. You will always be in our hearts!

About Multiverse Designer Player Edition and GM Editions
You won't need to download different apps depending on if you're a player or a GM. Multiverse Designer releases as a free app that will be the Player Edition; you can upgrade to one of the GM Editions (3 versions which allow you to have up to 4 players, 6 players, and Unlimited players) with an in-app purchase. For your convenience we're bringing you here the FAQ we have created to explain how these versions work.
What can I do with the Player Edition?
You can join other people's games (as long as there are available guest seats), but you can't create online multiplayer games. You can use the Map Creator and Cutscene Editor and access the entire library of 3D assets, but you can't save maps with more than 50 assets.
What is a guest seat?
The Player Edition of Multiverse Designer allows a player to join games created by an owner of any of the Multiverse Designer Game Master Edition DLCs. When a player with the Player Edition joins a game, one of the available Game Master's guest seats will be occupied. If there are no more guest seats available, it will not be possible for the player to join the session. Game Master editions owners can join a game without using a guest seat.
A Practical Example
Suppose Freddie bought the game with 4 guest seats. He starts a network game. John, Paul, George, and Ringo only have the Player Edition; they log in and start playing. Suddenly, John needs to leave, but he calls Mr. Dickinson to join. Mr. Dickinson also has only the Player Edition, but John's guest seat is now available, so Mr. Dickinson can take it for himself. Now, another friend of theirs, Mr. Jagger, tries to join with the Player Edition. Alas, he's denied entry because Freddie is using all four of his guest seats. But Mr. Jagger really wants to join the game, so he goes and buys a Game Master Edition DLC. Now he doesn't count as a guest, so he can immediately join the game.
