TaleSpire
A beta for modders
[p]We have a new Beta up, and it's a hard one to pitch, as regular GMs and Players should see almost no change. Behind the scenes, however, we have made a number of tweaks to how content loading works in preparation for us enabling more third-party integrations.[/p]
[p]We have an active community of folks who mod the game via code injection, and these changes may affect them.[/p]
[p]So, if you develop or use those mods, I'd recommend kicking the tires on this Beta![/p]
[p]Switching to the Beta branch takes a few clicks, and the guide to doing so can be found here: https://talespire.com/welcome-to-the-content-handling-changes-beta[/p]
[p]Leaving the Beta will clear some cached files, so community content will be re-downloaded on subsequent use (either automatically or when prompted based on your settings).[/p]
[p]This Beta will last one week, and then the changes will be shipped to everyone.[/p]
[p]Alright! That's all the important stuff for this post.[/p]
[p]Hope you all have a good week, and we'll see you in the next patch.[/p]
A smattering of improvements
- [p]Hide invite codes by default on the main menu.[/p]
- [p]Don't show interaction cursor on dice if you can't interact with them.[/p]
- [p]Fixed an error that occurred when trying to process certain malformed dice rolls.[/p]
- [p]A fix for a case where community content would not show properly in the browser if it had certain tags[/p]
[p]Until then folks![/p]
Early Boarding: Feature Release
[p]Previously, published board URLs only worked once you were already in a campaign. Now they also work from the main menu.[/p]
[p]If you attempt to import a published board from the main menu, you will be prompted, and a new campaign will be created with your chosen board inside. The prompt allows you to choose a name for this new campaign.[/p]
[p]Alright, back to the feature forges we go! See you in the next release.[/p]
Alt: The Return
We have more things in the pipeline, but it felt important to get this one out there now rather than wait to bundle it up in a bigger release.
Have a good one folks![/p]

Patch: Two step bug killing process
[p]This patch fixes one of the bugs that was causing this. We will be back as soon as possible with the fix for the next one.[/p]
[p]Thanks to everyone who has helped us track this down, and our apologies for the disruptions to your sessions.[/p]
Feature Release : Titan Sizes
The "Titan Sizes" Update is now out of Beta and on Live!
[p]
We've added the ability to scale creatures up to 14 tiles, allowing for absolutely massive beasts.
To make this work smoothly we've introduced transparent bases to titan sizes, and reduce the size of the collision influence, allowing it to move through spaces more easily. There has also been multiple tweaks to the movement code when dragging the larger sizes, helping the sense of scale.[/p]
[p]Hopefully this helps make your boss battles that tiny bit more menacing [/p]
[p] [/p]
[p]To try out this feature simple right click on the creature as a Game Master, go to GM Tools>Set Size and select one of the new sizes. So basically the same way as Creature sizes worked before.[/p]
[p] [/p]
[p] [/p]
[p]Thanks for checking out the this update! Looking forward to seeing screenshots featuring the inevitable Kaiju showdown![/p]

Till next time!
Set Expansion : Chamber
Today, we're releasing a small expansion for the Chamber Set found in the Cyberpunk & Sci-fi section of the game. As mentioned during the Bi-Montly banter stream, Hannah (aka heckbo) has returned working a couple of days per week. These assets were on ice during the leave. But now that they're finalized, we hope they can add more visual interest to your Science Fiction, ships, space stations, transportation hoppers, etc.
Expansion Set Contains
- 7 x Silo Tiles
- 4 x Porous Metal Tiles
- 1 x Metal Sphere Prop

TaleSpire Bug Fix - Scripts
The bug was that things would break if we added or removed a script from tiles or props that had already shipped and been used in boards.
Two manifestations of this were:
- Certain assets (like the cryo-pod) had graphical glitches
- Hide volumes interacting with certain assets could crash the game
This release fixes the issue.
There are also some upsides.
- Less data is needed to save the board, so downloading boards may become slightly faster.
- We can now make more tiles and props interactable, which will finally allow us to address a few of your feature requests.
Until next time.
WARNING
We have received reports of missing assets from those using unofficial mods. If you have any issues, please remove unofficial mods and try again.
Community content is fine. No need to reinstall creatures/symbiotes/etc from the community content browser.
