Speech to Text: Play with Your Voice!

Hey Friends,

Quick followup update to TTS, you can now record audio clips and send them in campaigns to play with your voice!

For an immersive experience, we highly recommend trying this out with the Auto Play Audio campaign setting on and in multiplayer campaigns! In multiplayer, other players can hear your audio clips, and they will also be automatically played to everyone when sent to the campaign and Auto Play Audio is on.

Please note that at this time the audio transcription works best with English and may not work with other languages.

Other Updates & Improvements

  • Subscribers on Pro and Legend plans can now create up to 10 and 15 custom instructions when world building. Players who start campaigns from those worlds will then get access up to the first 5/10/15 instructions depending on their plan.

  • In a campaign, if you’re the host, you can now transfer host ownership of the campaign to another player. To do so, click on the dropdown of their character in the Party screen and click on ‘Make Host’.

  • Monster, item, spell sheets received a visual update, and we fixed some bugs in their respective forms.

What’s coming next

  • We’re in the middle of improving how Franz responds to out of character (OOC) requests, so he’s able to do more in terms of fetching and updating campaign data and also not ignoring OOC requests. Aiming to release this within a week.

  • We’re still polishing up the turn based combat system; expecting it to be ready for an announcement within a couple weeks.

  • After combat, we’ll be reworking the way POIs work, giving them their own grid maps which NPCs and items can be placed on - this not only gives you more control when world building, but should also assist in the AI context so NPCs at a POI aren’t always ‘present’ and barging in. NPC behaviour will also be getting an update during this time, so they’ll act more autonomously during the campaign.

Very excited to get these improvements out to you!
