Early Access Content Pack 2: Sanctum of the Blood Queen
[previewyoutube="pkBHDVA2VVI;full"]
The second Early-Access content pack. Featuring a bedroom set fit for a diabolical queen as she surveys her realm from atop her balcony.
Also, watch out for her minions, the cunning Jester and the Haunted Armor, as they're surely up to no good!
Here is a list of added content, changes, and bug fixes.
Creatures:
The Blood Queen (Vampire Countess)
The Jester
Haunted Armor
Props:
Canopy Bed
Dresser
Vanity
Chair
Fireplace
Mirrors
Paintings
Fancy Pillows
Other Asset Changes:
Leaf Bed
Palisade corner tweaked.
Moorgoth carpet corner tile variants.
Changes / Bug Fixes
Added UI buttons for Copy/Cut/Paste
Increased the tap time threshold from 0.2 seconds to 1.0 seconds on Copy/Cut/Paste/Undo/Redo keybinding.
Flying Indicator now respects props
We're working on fixes for the Copy/Paste keyboard problem, which is turning out to be quite elusive. The added UI will make it accessible for everyone until we can find a proper fix for the key bindings.
Have fun! And see you for our next patch!
Early Access Patch 6
It is that time once again.
This patch brings the following:
A fix so that creature names no longer show when should be hidden
Improved performance of creature name layout
Increased max number of non-unique creatures per board. The max is now 600.
If someone tries to paste a published-board URI rather than using the standard mechanisms, then accept it and present the standard UI
A tooltip to explain that only campaign owners can publish boards from the campaign.
The ability to place gm-blocks on top of props
Fix some creature state not being cleared correctly on delete
A fix case that handles cases where self-illuminated creatures, such as ghosts, did not enable their lights on load.
A fix for cases where hide volumes did not update torch and light state.
We are now back off to the Spire to hammer out more fixes. Fare thee well!
Early Access Patch 5
This time we have an update purely focused on fixing markers, which should now behave as expected.
Beta players should find that markers that were created before the release are accessible. For those of you who had new markers vanish since the release, you may also find that these have been restored.
In this patch, we also fix a sync bug where gm-blocks would not sync if that part of the board had been modified.
One known bug is that publishing a board does not include the markers. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
We have plenty more in the works, so stay tuned!
Early Access Patch 4
Hi everyone. It's update time again, and we have a few fixes and a small feature improvement:
The hide-plane region now always includes the camera. Things should no longer appear between the camera and the camera look-at-point when they should be hidden by the hide-plane.
We've fixed the knob controlling the sun to have the height of the day be upwards.
We have fixed some bugs in delete and undo that were causing corruption of parts of boards.
A bug in the hide-plane has been fixed, so it now interacts correctly with un-deleted things.
The range of Atmosphere fog has been expanded, allowing for less and more fog.
See you later in the week with more fixes!

TaleSpire Dev Log 269
Hey everyone,
A lovely player on reddit spotted part of our EULA that concerned them. It was about how we could use section 14.2 to potentially police the community based on in-game actions (like chat).
This is clearly overly broad and needs revising. We will get that done. Also, we'd like to clarify we don't store your chat logs. The chat messages are sent via our servers but are never written to the DB or other persistent storage. The Lawyers went broad to make sure we were well covered. But we want to pull back on some of this, as it doesn't align with our intentions.
While we are on this topic, another use also worried about a EULA interpretation that would impact professional GM'ing. We are 100% in support of people using TaleSpire professionally and will look to clarify this in the EULA.
In our experience, the back and forth with the Lawyers is slower than just fixing bugs, but we will keep you posted with news as this develops.
We also want to natter about the EULA and its language in a future DevLog and potentially a DevStream.
Thanks a bunch to those who have reached out about this. It can be so easy to get lost in bugs and let other surrounding details slip by.
Have a great day!
TaleSpire - Early Access Release!
[previewyoutube="iXrRFOhghXw;full"]
Greetings!
It has been a long time coming, but we're finally available as Early Access on Steam. The next couple of weeks will likely see many bug patches as we get more players building on our servers, so bear with us while we get those sorted. The game is Early Access, after all, so expect changes and additions along the way. We're also restarting our regular asset drops next week, so keep an eye out for those.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of TaleSpire so far, and to new players, welcome! We hope you'll journey with us through this Early Access development cycle.
