Scaling up high quality miniature production with Eldritch Foundry



It's with a lot of excitement today that we announce our partnership with Eldritch Foundry! Integrating their tooling into our asset pipeline will allow us to scale up our production of miniatures and deliver the variety of characters that people are waiting for.

We have long loved the idea of working with Eldritch Foundry and have been talking with them on and off since the Beta was released. They have an excellent range of races with fantastic attention to detail that really shines through in their printed miniatures.

Naturally, we have been testing integrating Eldritch Foundry in our pipeline and the results have been excellent. By using such detailed sculpts as a base, we've seen reductions in the time required to make a miniature of up to a third. The following screenshot represents about a week and a half of work from one artist working part-time.



To the fans who had noticed our focus on monsters recently, this was why. We knew that we would soon have much better tools for making heroes and so we were holding off until that time came. Thank you for bearing with us!

The question of how we would handle scaling up our asset production has been raised many times in and out of the community. It's a real pleasure to present the first substantial part of our answer to that.

P.s. Oh, and you can check out Eldritch Foundry tools for yourself here

Beta Update 24: Flying Creatures

Introducing flying creatures!

Now you can enable flying on a Creature as a GM by togging flying in the Creature Radial Menu. Then, controlling players can set a Creature's flight height by holding the left-CTRL while carrying the mini.

You can control the mini both from the top of the indicator tower and at the base. Flying creatures will try to maintain world height when moving around. This resets when it is dropped, or verticality dragged.

This is the initial flying release, we'll be tweaking and changing things as we go.

That's the short of it. Enjoy!

Tread carefully! You never know which fungi might bite.

PS: This patch also features some minor bug fixes.
