You might be scratching your head and thinking, "But I've been using Hero Forge® miniatures in TaleSpire for a while now, right?." It's true that we've been running a beta for the feature for some time, but we can now say it is Officially Available. And to celebrate, we'd like to run a week-long sale of TaleSpire! [25% off the regular price]

[h3]Hero Forge® (https://www.heroforge.com/)[/h3]

For people who might not know, Hero Forge® is an online character creator that allows users to order their designs as custom 3D-printed and Digital miniatures. After overwhelming requests from players, we've added support for connecting to Hero Forge®, allowing players to use their Hero Forge® Digital minis in TaleSpire.



When you connect using the Hero Forge® Access Key, you will also receive the VTT pack of miniatures. This package of 5 pre-designed digital Heroes represents your usual suspects making up an adventuring party.



You can find a guide for how to connect your Hero Forge® account here: https://heroforge.talespire.com/

Hero Forge® Is also running a Sale on Digital Minis, which will run until the 25th of October. Please go check them out!


As this is going out to more ears than our regular updates, we'd also like to highlight the Cyberpunk / Scifi update released in August.

It was a monumental update with over 650 assets across tiles, props, and creatures; this is the first foray beyond the fantasy sets and is simply brimming with the technological tools any burgeoning cyber-adventurer needs. If you’ve long dreamed of taking a campaign to the dystopian streets, now it is easier than ever!

Of course, we're still doing Fantasy Updates, and we've had a few updates since Cyberpunk & Scifi went out including a Halloween-themed one. Some things we're currently working on are Water Tiles, Ship Tiles, and another Monster Mash.

So watch out for those.

Lastly, thanks for all the continued support. Keep an eye on the DevLog or Discord for more frequent updates, and don't forget to head over to Steam for the TaleSpire Sale!


Have fun!

The Group-Movement feature has, at long last, reached Beta. Let's talk about what this is, what it's not, and whether you might want to check it out.

[h3]The whats and the whys[/h3]

The Group-Movement feature allows you to use a lasso tool to select up to fifty creatures at a time, and then control them as a group.

You can move and rotate them, make them attack, emote, delete them, and more.

The goals of this Beta are to allow us all to test the basic functionality, identify issues, and hone this for release to the rest of the community.

As such, we haven't yet turned our attention to the visuals. The lasso is a placeholder, and many small visual details are sub-par. However, these are contained issues, and we know we can fix the most important ones before release.

As with the previous Beta, we want to allow people who don't mind braving an unfinished feature to try it out without any risk to their existing creations.

We do this by making a separate branch of TaleSpire that you can opt into. This branch has its own servers, so none of your existing campaigns or boards are available, and nothing you do on the branch will break your boards outside the branch.

[h3]Is it for you?[/h3]

We wouldn't recommend it if you don't enjoy messing around with unfinished and broken things. But if you do, then check out the guide linked below.

Beta Guide: https://talespire.com/welcome-to-the-group-movement-beta

Do note that we are not aiming to support every movement option for groups out of the gate. So while keyboard control or snapping are considered "missing" features, group teleport isn't something in the plan for the first release of Group-movement.

[h3]When will it release to everyone?[/h3]

We aren't setting a fixed date as it depends on what bugs we find and which we feel need fixing before release. We are expecting two weeks, though.

[h3]And that's all![/h3]

It's a blast to finally be putting this in your hands. Thanks for checking this out folks, and we hope you enjoy this new toy!

Heya folks,

I don't often post dev-logs here, but the community has grown a bunch since last time, so I thought I'd drop by.

You can find the full post on our site here, but here is the fun bit:

The lasso works!

From here, the focus is bugs, performance, and getting it ready to ship. Of course, we'll be replacing the red blob with something nicer too :)

I'm super excited to get this out to you, but in the meantime, I'll keep you apprised of the happenings in the dev-logs if that is your thing.

Until next time!

Peace.
