This is a HUGE update and we hope you enjoy all the new features and goodies we’ve added. Like the new infinite spawner! Put an object in and now you can see what’s in the bag and only that object can be in it. Expect to see some cool animation effects on it in the future. Special thanks to Vermilion Wlad for making this for us.

Old DLC saves will no longer work, due to our revamp of downloadable content. Sorry!

Welcome to The Scoop where we keep you up to date every other Friday on what's going on with Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!




Can you believe it? We now have over 5000 mods on our Steam Workshop! Who would have thought we'd get to that point? To celebrate, we're doing an awesome giveaway! We're giving out 10 keys of Tabletop Simulator! Anyone can enter - even if you already own the game. This is a game you want to play with your friends, so spread the word and enter HERE!

If you can't wait, this is a great time to get Tabletop Simulator while it's on sale for 33% off on Steam! You can get either the individual or the 4-pack (buy 3 get 1 free) for a great discounted price. This is part of the Steam Machine Promotion and ends on November 16th!


Update v6.0 is going to be a doozy! This update is going to have a lot of new tools to make your game creations even easier! We were hoping to get it out today, but we figured an extra week will make this update even better! Here are some sneak peak images of what you can look forward to.

As you can see, the layout has been changed a bit and for good reason! Can you guess what those extra tools on the side menu stand for?? This is not the final iteration, as we still have some other things we're working on, so don't be surprised if you see other changes when the update is released!





In next week's update, there will be some nice changes and additions to the DLCs! We are now contracting the services of a few community members to help us create these fabulous official games. Special thanks to Goldensly, Aabra and Lucky Seven for their services!

First up is the release of Euphoria by Stonemaier Games!

2-6 Players | Ages 13 & Up
~60 minutes

A dystopian cityscape awaits your leadership as you make strategic choices to construct markets, enhance allegiances, and expand control in this thematic dice worker-placement game.



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next is the 1st expansion to Cosmic Encounter - Cosmic Incursion!

20 New aliens
Rewards Deck
6th player

Over the years, alien empires have risen and fallen. The Vacuum has failed to eliminate the Zombie, the Virus has spread far and wide, and the Loser has turned defeat into victory. 50 different species have tried to conquer the galaxy, and each have made their mark on the universe. Their warring has not gone unnoticed.

In Cosmic Incursion, the exciting expansion for Cosmic Encounter, 20 new alien races explode onto the galaxy! Players will face the sticky terror of the Fungus, scratch their heads at the perplexing Magician, and shudder in fear as the Locust consumes their planets in one gulp.

Cosmic Incursion also makes the Cosmos even bigger, adding a 6th player to the game. Finally, as if that wasn’t enough, Cosmic Incursion introduces a new variant to the game – the reward deck, which offers exciting new cards such as kickers and rifts to those aliens who ally with the defense.

And not just that! Cosmic Encounter Connector itself has gotten a makeover with a new layout, customized end tables, a nifty 'Cosmic' table for all the game pieces and a lovely new background.



----------------------------------------------------------------------

And last but not least, Superfight has also gotten a makeover with a better layout, extra boxes that you can grab the decks from if you want to use them and the ORANGE deck will be available for purchase!



In the next issue of The Scoop, we'll announce some new publishers we'll be working with!


We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. Here's a teaser of what we'll be working on for future updates.

Since v6.0 is such a big update, I'll go ahead and mention a couple things that you can look forward to NEXT WEEK!

• Text Tool - You will be able to write text on locked objects, boards and the table.
  
• Token Stacking - You will be able to stack those custom tokens!
  
• Custom card hands - Everyone has wanted this one for a long time, so this is a great addition! You will be able to customize hand positions wherever you'd like.

There is so much in this update, so be sure to stay tuned next week to see what's all to come!

Welcome to The Scoop where we keep you up to date every other Friday on what's going on with Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!


Happy Halloween! Our next update v6.0 will be a bigger one, so it may not be out for another couple of weeks. We'll see how the next week fares! We've got some exciting stuff for you though and we think you'll be happy about what we've got in store.

I'd like to welcome Brian to the team as our newest programmer! He does both programming and art and has worked on Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Banner Saga. We're already seeing some great productivity with him on board in this first week!

This past week we got some cool things added to Tabletop Simulator like the Calculator, the ability to choose whatever color you want for the Vector Drawing Tool and various improvements to Promoted Players. There were also a ton of improvements we made to the overall platform, so we hope that you are enjoying the changes.




As announced this week, we have partnered with Stonemaier Games to bring Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia to life as our next official DLC! We look forward to working with them and seeing what the future holds. Stay tuned for more info.

We'll be bringing the 1st expansion (Incursion) to Cosmic Encounter Connector sometime in November. It will include 20 new alien races to play and an additional person will be able to play (up to 6).



We have 7 other confirmed publishers that we'll be working with and we'll announce them as we finalize everything and decide on their first game.

We value our community's feedback and over this past year we have implemented a lot of features and suggestions that you guys have given us. And we're still listening! Please continue to post your suggestions on our official forums. Here's a teaser of what we'll be working on for future updates.:

• Precise positioning - This will be great for designers when you want to move pieces around. We're adding a special tool 3D modelers will be familiar with when you need that precise movement, scaling, and rotating.
  
• Optimized UI scrolling - For those of you with hundreds of mods, saved games and saved objects, this is for you! This will be smoothed out extensively (finally!).
  
• UI Improvements - After we get things more optimized and improve the overall quality of Tabletop Simulator, we'll be working on making the UI a bit more user-friendly and updated. Yes, we improved on the contextual menu, but there are still a lot of things we can do, especially with there being so many controls to manage and all the little things you can play with. TTS has become more of a designer's platform over the past year, so we'll be working on a UI setup that you will be more familiar with (and easier to use).

Are you in need of some dice towers? Check out Eugee's Dice Towers in our Steam Workshop!
He made a variety of different ones, but I kind of like the pink "minimalist" one. It works out great! Just be sure to lock it down first. There are 12 different ones to choose from and they all work a bit differently, so be sure try them out. If you are looking for some other ones, just search for "Dice Tower" in the Workshop to see what you can find!
