We are very happy to see all the excitement around the announcement of Tabletop Creator!
Let's do a quick Q&A about it ;) ;)
Q) It's already february! Where's Tabletop Creator?
A) We know that the store page lists "FEB 2021" as the launch date, but this is referring to the steam page publication date! We will soon announce the actual Early Access release date.
Q) Then, when is Tabletop Creator going to be released?
A) After going through a real tabletop game launch (Reventure: Orbtale), we are transferring our learning and experience to Tabletop Creator in the form of new features and reorienting others. There will be a free demo from late October'21 and we expect to launch it over 2022.
Q) Can I make digital tabletop games with Tabletop Creator?
A) You can design, balance and test your game with Tabletop Creator, but it does not generate a video game, but all the assets for your tabletop game.
Q) I have a project in Card Creator. Will Tabletop Creator support the same project format?
A) Yes. Tabletop Creator will import your projects to the new format. Be careful though: this is a one way trip only, so be sure to back up your files first.
Q) Will Card Creator continue receiving support?
A) Yes. We may take longer to patch some issues because our current focus is on the TC release, but rest assured, we won't leave you hanging if you run into any issues.
Q) What's the difference between Card Creator and Tabletop Creator?
A) Tabletop Creator is a new iteration, based on the same ideas but oriented to a full editorial approach and all kinds of game components, while Card Creator is focused on prototyping and fast iteration of card games. They share some similarities but have completely different workflows.
Q) Will Tabletop Creator be available for Linux/MacOS/[INSERT_PLATFORM_NAME]?
A) Not at first. We'll consider adding extra platforms in the future based on community demand.
Q) Will Tabletop Creator be available in my language?
A) During the early access phase, it'll be only available in english. Eventually, it'll be translated to various languages like Card Creator.
Q) Will Tabletop Creator have RTL support?
A) Not at launch, but eventually yes.
Q) Will Card Creator owners have any special deal when purchasing Tabletop Creator?
A) Yes! We are considering different options and will share our final decision soon. In the meantime, feel free to share your suggestions.
Q) How can I help Tabletop Creator become the awesomest application ever?
A) Wishlist it now! And spam your friends about its awesomeness. Thanks! :)
