TaleSpire News

In this way, overdue update, we're featuring more of the assets from our "Help Design" Tier on Kickstarter. It's been so much fun continuing to work with "Help Design" Tier backers to get their props in-game. Thanks again for making it such a blast to work on these.


Here is the patch content, along with some screenshots featuring this unique set of props:


[h3]"Help Design" Tier Pack 01 includes the following:[/h3]



[h3]Props:[/h3]

• Giant Dragon Head and ribs.
  
• An Animated Tome on a Plinth
  
• A mysterious animated device
  

[h3]Other fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed some mods not appearing correctly in the community mod browser
  

We still have some characters/creatures and the Adventures remaining from this particular set of Kickstarter Tiers. We'll be continuing work on those shortly.

On other Art related news! The focus of late has been on the Mega Dungeon, which will feature pieces for building round towers and diagonal walls! Going out late next week, we have a revamp of the Dungeon01 set, renamed Cellar, releasing with another Monster Mash.



We hope everyone enjoys this mashup of exciting props!

Till next time!

Today's update brings a new feature to Symbiotes and a bunch of asset fixes. It contains:

• Fixes for various typos in tags and asset names.
• Fixed asset thumbnails for Moorgoth floor tiles, which previously didn't match the actual asset.
• A fix for the cases where "{thing}" appeared instead of a readable name when players requested to interact with specific assets.
• Replaced thumbnails for sci-fi ship hull assets where a different angle made them more legible.
• An optional popup mode for Symbiotes. This helps Symbiote creators handle logins for some sites.

Many sites use providers like Google, Facebook, or Twitch to handle logging in to their services. These login systems often pop up a temporary window where the user logs in before being handed back to the original web page. Previously, Symbiotes couldn't handle this, so using some online systems popular in the ttrpg space was impossible.

This is now fixed. Symbiote creators can now add a single entry to their project's manifest to tell TaleSpire how to handle websites trying to open a new window. It can be ignored, opened in the same view, or (the new addition) opened in a modal view over the Symbiote. Creators can find more info in the documentation here: https://symbiote-docs.talespire.com/manifest_doc_v1.html#link-new-tab-behavior



Seeing a steady stream of Symbiotes being added to the repository has been a delight. We are yet again excited to see what Symbiotes arrive now this critical shortcoming is being resolved. As always, big thanks go out to the community, especially those folks who reported this issue and showed us what they needed.

Until next time,

Happy adventuring

p.s. This is a surprisingly hefty update at 2.4GB. We believe this a side effect of build changes we had to make for mac support. Update sizes should be back under control soon.

The goal of this patch was to fix a bunch of tiny issues, but we snuck a bigger fix in there too.

• Fix help text for AOEs as it included info only relevant to rulers.
  
• Disable creature keyboard movement for players when in cutscene mode.
  
• Allow scrolling over board bookmark items.
  
• When using the rename keybinding, creature names had to be at least three characters long. This restriction has been removed
  
• Fix case where our HeroForge model cache wouldn’t delete dirs that still contained files
  
• Fix bug that stopped the installation of mods to different drives
  
• If you remove your HeroForge account while in the HF browser we now switch to the mod-browser
  
• Fix more UI reveal errors affecting players
  
• Symbiotes: The rulerResult objects were missing the ruler id. This is now fixed.
  
• Group Selection is working again
  

We are making good progress on the macOS release. We’ve had our testing session and are working through the bugs we found. Keep an eye on the dev-logs for more news!

NOTE: We have had to change our setup on Steam in preparation for the macOS release. This means that, even though almost no files have changed, Steam is forcing a full re-download. The next patch should be back to a sensible size. Thanks for bearing with these inconveniences during this transition.

Hey folks,

The title is only slightly clickbait. Today we are moving to a newer build of Unity. The major driver for this is that it fixes the bug that has stopped us from supporting macOS.

As a side benefit, it also meant we moved to a newer version of Unity's input library, and that means:

[h3]YOU CAN NOW BIND ACTIONS TO THE ‘E’ KEY![/h3]

This has been a thorn in our sides for ages. It’s super embarrassing to have to say, “Ah yeah, we can’t support using the letter E.”

But no more! Feel free to leave an E in the comments in respect of this fallen bug.

While this is an important update for the game, it’s not that tangible for players. We’re looking forward to bringing you more concrete upgrades soon.

Until then, have a good one.

Today we have a quick patch that:

• Fixes a bug where clearing selections near the edge of the board caused hangs or crashes
• Fixes tab visibility for players
• Improves handling of requests for server info

Many more things in the works. Check out the dev logs to hear what we are up to!
