Heya folks! Today, the Physics and Batching improvements leave Beta, delivering some performance improvements and paving the way for many more. More visibly however, we have three fixes and a new tool! The fixes are: · A fix that makes search keyboard shortcuts work again \o/ · The fix for the bug stopping recently-made TitanCraft minis from loading · A fix for a small memory leak on startup. A…
Today we release an update for TaleWeaverLite (our custom creature creation tool) to support emissive on creatures. This utilizes the until now unused Blue channel of the Metallic/Ambient Occlusion/Smoothness texture to make your minis really pop! Without emissive (left) vs with emissive (right), mini by Velrock This update only touches our modding tools as all required support in TaleSpire has…
This is another beta improving things behind the scenes. The technical details are that this beta improves how we build batches of stuff for the GPU to draw, and also how we run the physics.It has the potential to significantly speed up the time physics takes to run (I saw a 40% reduction in some tests). Still, it's likely you will not see an FPS improvement yet: · The improvements are situatio…
Iiiit's patch time again. Today we have: · Fixed a case where custom tags could clash with synonyms, degrading search. · Fixed the slab-uploader so that, by default, slabs can be added to collections again. If you are on Windows or Linux, it is a BIG download as we tweaked some asset build settings for behind-the-scenes reasons. The assets should look and behave the same otherwise. Onward!
We received reports that, more recently, TaleSpire had been taking ages to start. We tracked it down to a case where, on Windows, having mapped network drives triggered daft behavior in a library we rely on. We have worked around that and are happy to get this to you. Of course, if startup is still slow, please let us know at as we want to fix that for you. More things are on their way. See you…
This release is just preparation for more tooling . This might not normally be worth mentioning, but as we are here, I can tell you about the next fix. If you have mapped network drives, TaleSpire can randomly take a really long time to start. We have a fix for this coming as soon as it gets through testing. Thanks to those who reported it, and sorry it took a bit to sus out. Anyhoo, I'm back o…
This is a tiny patch to fix the fact that tags from community assets were not being loaded into the tag database. This meant that those creatures were not searchable by tag. Back soon with more!
Following the Creature Tag Overhaul for our official miniatures, we now have a release supporting tags for community creatures! This release comes in two parts: First, an update to TaleSpire which enables: · Searching with tags through mod.io community creatures. · Activating "strict" filter mode which hides all results that have no filter flags set. This will hide more unwanted content at the…
In this patch, we fix a bug in the vision-limit system where a GM connecting to a board won't see anything if they are not the first person in the board. Thanks to those who reported this one; it evaded us for quite a while.
Status Effects are now leaving Beta and entering Production! Keep track of various ailments and buffs through stacking visual effects and base icons.

We're running another Beta as this touches a lot of places in the code base. Status Effects also have a lot of moving parts, so some vigorous testing is in order! If you'd like to check it out, find instructions here: What are Status Effects? These have been requested by the community since we went into Early Access. They're ways to keep track of different conditions on a creature such as these…
Some hide-volume tweaks have now left Beta. The visible changes are: · Hide volumes now respond to the hide plane · If the camera gets too close to a hide-volume, the volume can hide. Big thanks to those who checked out the Beta We'll be back very soon with more! p.s. The bimonthly banter is happening this Friday, June 19th at 20:00 UTC for TaleSpire updates, live Q&A, and more with the team. C…
Today we have a small-yet-large feature for you: We have completely overhauled the tags for our creatures according to our new tag system to be more predictable and consistent across the entire library. While this changes very little in the TaleSpire code, it required a lot of tooling changes in our asset creation process which have now concluded. This is step 2 of our aforementioned tagging ov…

It's time for another Beta! For all details and instructions on how to join the Beta, see: The visible changes are: · Hide volumes now respond to the hide plane · If the camera gets too close to a hide-volume, the volume can hide. Behind the scenes, the way hide-volumes are represented and rendered has changed. Unofficial modders will want to kick the tires of anything that hooks into that syst…
Here are some tweaks and fixes based on Community feedback. This Patch contains: Castle Fortified (Castle01_02): · Castle fortified door tall animations fixed · Added normal sized variants of the large gdoors · Classic wall sword and shield is now bit thicker · Fixed angle issue on tall 4x2 and 4x1 side roof pieces Other: · Fixed small issue in haunted roof texture fixed Heckbo is also working…

This pack contains the following assets: · 25 x roof Tiles, featuring two different slopes · 27 x refurbished and/or new additional w…
This patch fixes a recent bug that resulted in un-saved changes not being saved on exit. The next code release coming is a fix to hide-volumes not being hidden by the hide plane. Back soon!
This is a very behind-the-scenes fix! We have code that keeps an eye out for when local community content is added, edited, or removed. The library we were using for this was doing the job correctly, but in a rather wasteful way. In this release, we have replaced it with our own code, and it's much zippier now. We are noticing far fewer frame stutters in simple cases and better 1% lows in gener…
The Beta has ended, the era of live-search has begun! Up until now, you could view things in the library and filter them by their tags. The search box allowed you to find tags, and the view would change only when you added or removed a tag. Today, the search has gained new powers! It searches your entire library based on the name of the tile, prop, or creature. And it does it live, as you type,…
This patch contains some simple bug fixes. The current build on the beta branch is now what we intend to release. Due to the long Easter holidays here in Norway, we will release on Tuesday, the 7th of April. See you then!
Here are a few more fixes and improvements as we close in on feature release day. · More optimizations to the grid view · Clear search when switching to a folder in asset-library · Better positioning of the scrollbar in HeroForge browser · Lower resource usage when the library is hidden · Assorted small bug-fixes Back soon with a release!
This patch brings a fix for the new cache for mod.io requests. The Beta is going well. We'll have some more tweaks landing before the release next week. Have a nice weekend folks

For all details and instructions on how to join the beta, see: This is a big one; We've done a major rewrite of the library UI to facilitate all the new changes around the new search. Part of the changes are: · Live search in library (you see results as you type) · Search now includes asset names, including custom content downloaded from mod.io, HeroForge or TitanCraft ·…

Same time, other timezones: · March 23 at 11:00 UTC (Danmarkshavn, London, Lisbon) · March 23 at 8:00 GMT-…

Do your fans try to escape your machine when running TaleSpire? If so, this patch might be for you! We have a fix for a long-standing threading issue that has been causing CPU usage on some machines to be noticeably higher than would otherwise make sense. Here are some very rough observations that we’ve made: WARNING: We are not set up for rigorous benchmarking, nor do we have the deep knowledg…
