Send us your best creations with the Character Forge!
Hi everyone! First of all, we want to thank everyone for what’s been an incredible start to this Steam Next Fest. The number of downloads and wishlists has blown away all our expectations, and we have received very positive feedback and very interesting suggestions. We are incredibly grateful for your attention and kind words. Welcome to everyone who’s discovering Multiverse Designer now – and let’s keep it up, we’ve got 6 days to go!
Having said that, there is a feature in the demo that we fear might pass under your radar, as we realize only now that it’s a bit too hidden. We’re talking about the Character Forge, which allows you to customize your in-game avatar. You can try to make it as close to that mental picture you have of your character – or let your imagination go wild and have fun creating the most bizarre characters! To highlight this feature, we want to propose you a creative contest: send us your best creations through social media (Instagram or Bluesky), or share it with us on our Discordserver. The best ones will get an invite for the Multiverse Designer beta.
So, here’s how you can access the Character Forge. First, in the Main Menu of the demo, click on Avatar – that allows you to create the character you will use in your games. For now, Avatar creation is tied to a set of Criteria rules: that is, you create a character for a specific game. We will look into letting you access the Character Forge separately, so you can create a character appearance that you can save as a preset that you can then apply to characters in any game. Once you click on Avatar, you will have to select which Criteria rules you’ll be creating the character for; for now we only have the rules for the two pre-made encounters in the demo, so select Demo and click the folder icon to proceed.
Now, when it loads, you have to click in the tool icon at the left side of the screen, and then in the face that will show up in the upper left corner (both things highlighted in orange in the screenshot below). That will create a 3D model that you can put in the map. And when you have put the model on the screen, double-click on it and click on the “Change” button next to the first item “Appearance”. That will open the Character Forge.
Send us via social media or through our Discord server your best creations! Hit us up with your wildest or most bizarre characters, crazy monsters, and charismatic heroes! We hope you have fun letting your imagination run free in Multiverse Designer. See you soon!
