Happy Spring! This is a great time of year with blooming flowers, lots of adorable kittens and great weather!

We have had a lot of awesome additions to Tabletop Simulator these past few months and there's still more to come. Thanks for the great suggestions and feedback you always give to us.

DLC NEWS

Here is the first look of some new games that will coming to Tabletop Simulator as DLC.

Abraca...What? by GARYKIMGAMES and published by Korea Boardgames, is a family game of deduction and spellcasting. On your turn, you try to cast one of the spells you have in front of you — but it's harder than it looks because only the other players can see which spells are available to you! So with cunning wit, clever logic, and a little luck, you have to determine which spells to use against your competitors. Watch your magic words, though, because if you try to cast the wrong spell too often, you'll lose the game!

Cavern Tavern by Final Frontier Games is a worker (dice) placement and resource management game that is set in a fantasy world. Each player assumes the role of a worker in the tavern. Your job is to serve drinks, work in the kitchen, do chores, and on top of that try to keep every guest happy, including the nasty and greedy barkeep.
Stay tuned for more DLC announcements and updates on our website, Facebook and Twitter. We have some other great companies we have partnered with that we will announce in the near future!

UPDATES REVIEW

In Update v8.5, we added a new camera mode - Top down view (orthographic). This keeps the camera locked in place and is great for games that require more of a top down view or for placing down and aligning objects perfectly.

We also revamped ALT Zoom so everything is perfectly flat and readable at any angle and so you can now see objects as they are supposed to be seen. This also works on animated objects and the 3D UI.

In Update v8.6, we added the free expansion Invaders from Afar to the Scythe DLC. And with this addition, we took advantage of improving Scythe in general, by changing it to use AssetBundles and some scripting elements were also added. The scripting addition also replaces the old method of combat power revelation that many weren't fond of.

We didn't want to neglect our Scripting and VR users, so we made sure to include some improvements to both of these as well. Thanks for your patience, much more to come!

In Update v8.7, we released the DLC, Scuttle! by Jelly Bean Games. It's a simple card game with a pirate theme and is great for the whole family ages 6 and up.

We really fixed up our Gizmo tools which needed some love and we're very happy with how it's come out. Previously you were just able to move and rotate, now you can do both of those, but also scale, volume scale and input your own values with the Transform menu. And not just that, but you can also use the Gizmo Tools to modify the Zones & Text Tool, this is especially useful for the Hidden Zones. You can read more about the Gizmo Tool in our Knowledge Base.

 

In Update v8.8, Warfighter by Dan Verssen Games finally arrived in Tabletop Simulator as DLC. This is a jam packed DLC which includes expansions #1-9.



We also added the ability for you to create folders and sub-folders in both the Workshop and Saved Games.

Update v8.9 brought in Xia:Legends of a Drift System by Far Off Games. This is our most involved DLC in that it has a lot of scripted elements and assetbundles with particle effects, animations and sounds.



The 5th expansion to Cosmic Encounter - Dominion has also been added, which brings in even more fun to an already exciting game.



Update v9.0 was a big one in that we added 64 bit support! Linux and Mac are fully 64-bit while Windows offers both 32-bit and 64-bit support.

In addition, our latest DLC, Indonesia by Splotter Spellen was added to Tabletop Simulator!



Decals have come to Tabletop Simulator in Update v9.1! You can add decals to any object, even cards!



And the next DLC added to the TTS family was In the Name of Odin by NSKN Games!



And in our latest Update v9.2, we've added in our first bi-lingual DLC, Khronos Hunter by Sorisuto, which is in both English and Japanese.



We also overhauled the Grid Tool, really adding some great new additions. The grid also projections onto the surface now instead of hovering as before, you can make the grid lines thin or thick, change the opacity and also the color.



There's still a lot more to come. We're really hoping to get all of our existing tools up to par just like we did for the Gizmo Tool, so stay tuned!
