What's New as of v0.8 - Full Release Coming Soon!

Hey everyone, I hope you're having an awesome week! 🙂

I'm excited to announce that RPG in a Box v1.0 is coming May 10th! After receiving a lot of helpful feedback from the community, I feel that it's now ready for a full release. Please keep in mind that even though it's a 1.0 release, I still have much more in store for RPG in a Box!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to bring everyone up to date on all of the new features that have been added to RPG in a Box throughout the course of Steam Early Access. I attached a PDF to the Trello card linked below that provides an overview of the major features and changes that have been implemented as of v0.8. Many of the features also include a visual example to help demonstrate that feature and give you a better idea of what it entails.

Price Increase

Please note that the price will be increasing slightly (to $29.99 USD) at the time of the 1.0 release as a result of the many new features added since its Early Access release.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words, positive feedback, reviews, making/sharing projects, retweets, and every other bit of support shown. It's so encouraging to see how much everyone enjoys creating things with RPG in a Box! 😊❤️
