SOLO MODE TTS UPDATE
about 3 years ago – Fri, Nov 10, 2023 at 04:08:41 PM

Hello everyone, and a good evening/night from Scotland!

Today's update is short and sweet, so let's get right into it.

I'm delighted to say that we've updated our solo mode on Tabletop Simulator. This brings what's publicly available inline with our more recent developer builds and we can't wait to see what the community think of the most recent changes. 

Key Features

- Improved quality of life features and a streamlined approach certain key elements.

- Updated ruleset to have parity with the most recent multiplayer build. This includes revised and clarified naming conventions. 

- Many polish and amends tweaks across the board. 

- Vastly expanded and refined Modifier system. This set of double-sided cards allows you to create your own Simulacrum Archetypes. In part inspired by mutators and rogue-like conventions in video games, these not only allow players to tailor the difficulty of the Simulacrum (including an almost unlimited ceiling of challenge) but they present you with the tools to create your own flavour of opponent, adapting the gameplay to suit the solo rival you wish to create.

Ricky Royal's Videos and Further Links

Once again we'd like to thank Richard Wilkins (aka Ricky Royal in the solo community) for his incredible work design and development on The Old King's Crown solo mode. We're so thrilled to be working with such a talented and inspiring designer and we can't tell you how thrilled we are with the results so far. 

In particular we'd like to highlight his fantastic recent work on the Modifier cards, many of which have been greatly expanded or further refined in this latest version. His continued efforts have greatly increased the ability for players to get even more wild and creative with their archetype designs.

If you'd like to see Ricky's overview of the solo design, check it out here. 

If you'd like to see the excellent Liz Davidson on her solo-centric channel, Beyond Solitaire, preview the game, have a gander here.

And if you'd like to roll up your sleeves and start tinkering with the possibilities that the Build Your Own Archetype mode allows for, we recommend catching up with this excellent series of videos, of which this is the latest one.

Finally, I'd like to add, that if you're interested in learning more about the solo or multiplayer modes, or if you're looking to play the game with others online, I can't recommend our dedicated Discord channel enough.

Here you'll find a welcoming community of people, who are always up for answering your questions, helping new players to learn the game and discussing all things royalty, rebels and ruses.

Thanks again for your support and, as always, if you have any questions or queries, just let us know!

See you on Sunday, where we'll be showing off more of the Wild Kingdom and announcing next weeks updates.

Until then, have a wonderful weekend!

Additionally,

We've been hard at the work at the studio, with several updates having gone live to our multiplayer Tabletop Simulator mod.
