Toopan Games :
Toopan Games announces that their virtual tabletop and storytelling tool, Multiverse Designer, has closed its Kickstarter campaign reaching 305% of its funding goal. Multiverse Designer will be released on Steam in 2025 (although backers will have access to the first beta of Multiverse Designer during 2024). Multiverse Designer is a revolutionary tool for game masters and storytellers alike. With a system as intuitive as it is deep and powerful, it puts in your hands everything you’ve ever dreamed of to create amazing stories. You can design 3D setpieces from scratch with an intuitive drag-and-drop UI, and fully customize them to their finest details – from the lighting, to level layout, floor colors and textures, heights… You can then populate the places you create with adventurers, NPCs or monsters.
Multiverse Designer is also the most immersive virtual tabletop ever created, thanks to features such as the Roleplay Theater tool that brings your character to life with real-time lip-synching; or the fog of war with a dynamic light and shadow system, which makes you experience the world through your character’s eyes. Toopan Games has shown the possibilities of Multiverse Designer during the campaign creating a cyberpunk map, another one set in a Victorian London, or a lost city in the jungle. They have even recreated castle Pyke from Game of Thrones.
