Its been about six month sense the last news,. Is this feature planned for this year?
Hello!
Iâve shared several updates in our Dev Update streams in the last few months, and yes - we are actively working on our Vampire NEXUS character tools and they are coming this year (and not at the end of the yearâŚthe target is more like early Q3, to use one of my Southern sayings, god willing and the creek donât rise).
We will share more as soon as we can soon.
Thanks!
Thanks for the update! I look forward to hearing more soon!
I keep checking back periodically to see if thereâs been any update on when theyâre going to release the VTM character tools. I see it still says âearly 2023â when weâre over halfway through the year Starting to regret ordering the book bundle.
Iâm not sure where youâre seeing an âearly 2023â - thought we updated all those places, but as I have shared in recent Dev Update streams, we are actively working on VtM character tools and they will be available this year.
Predicting release dates for software development is tricky (which is one reason we never give an actual date for anything until weâre 100% sure) and weâve encountered some unknowns that have caused delays, but now that we have Pathfinder character tools released, we have a repeatable process that has overcome those unknowns.
Weâre already seeing that with the second game that will release (Avatar Legends) - it will be available in weeks (not months), and we expect the same for Vampire, which is next in the pipeline.
You should see updates in all the places we share them - email, streams, Discord, etc. - in the near future. With what weâve seen as we have started development, weâre sure the tools are going to be worth the wait.
Thanks!
On the main vampire nexus page the last bullet point is: Coming Early 2023! Character Tools: character builder, character manager, and digital character & lore sheets.
thanks for the reply though
Ah, t looks like something got reverted there on the homepageâŚit was updated at some point.
Weâll get that taken care of and share more updates soon.
Thanks again!
I hope this will indeed come in 2023. I mean what is a TTRPG tool if it doesnât have the character creation option, in 2023
A few months ago I read a staff member post that said you had an ambition to have the VtM Character Tools out for early access within July, but I guess that ambition fell through because of those issues?
I also remember reading that Vampire was next up after Pathfinder, but I see youâre saying Avatar Legends is next up. Did your priorities change, or am I just misremembering that post?
No priorities have changed no. We have different teams working on Pathfinder, Vampire, and Avatar Legends character tools at this point. We have to multi-thread given how many games we plan to support.
Vampire hasnât shifted in priority, but the relative simplicity of the Avatar Legends rules system means it looks like itâs going to get done a little faster, thatâs all.
Vampire character tools arenât going to hit July, no, but they are progressing, and weâll have a substantial update within the next couple of months. Weâre excited to see how theyâre coming together and excited to share them with Vampire players before too much longer.
Thanks!
