Revolution : Virtual Playspace

This map creation of this game is great, but that's about it. The "minis" are not 3D models like they appear to be. Character sheets are customizable but very limited. You can edit anything, but if there are not enough slots to add all the data you need to input, bummer times, you can't add in more slots. Once you do get a mini editted and made, loading it into the game is a process. You have to constantly save your character sheet manually if you have a spotty connection or you might lose progress. This may be worth it in the future, but right now, there just isn't enough here, outside of the map creation. On a positive side, the map creation is absolutely fantastic and I really have no complaints. The minis need a TON of work. Instead of it actually being a 3D model, it is just a 2D image that moves as the camera moves, and it has a shadow behind it. Cheap way to go about doing it... Once that part of the problem is fixed, this would be an awesome tool to play tabletop RPGs, but if that makes as big of a difference to you as it does to me, don't buy this yet. It is still in early stages and only have one developer from what I am told, so things may change, but it might take a while. I am not saying that this is a bad game at all... But people should know WHAT they are actually getting because the videos don't really show you what it is. It also says that there is a mini editor... I thought this meant I would be able to create minis to look like my character, but that is not the case... You can just attach a character sheet TO a premade mini.

I'm loving this game already! Started working on my map! Have a look if you are contemplating buying it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTsOdfxSemk

needs a massive controls, UI, and gameplay revamp. to bad to play

The creative building process of the game alone is worth the $20.00 I paid for it and more just by itself! Imagine Minecraft but for big people, without all that annoying having to dig for stuff. I akin it to the Forge on Halo Reach, but thousands of times easier to manipulate and control. You also have several themes to work with from fantasy to sci-fi to help keep things fun. The controls themselves look tiny and daunting at first, but it took me less than an hour to figure out everything I needed to do before I started having fun. Things to know about this game: Don't get it if you want to share it with your D&D group over the computer. It's a real pain in the butt to do because they don't allow it to go through any servers. When ti comes to being a host for a virtual campaign, it has a long way to go. Also, the controls aren't really set for a "walk" mode, meaning if you want to walk your halls and see all the awesome that is in them, you need to move slow and watch your direction. Other than that, it's an amazing tool for every DM and player to have. You can keep track of your characters, your quests, your campaigns, your special campaign rules and any other technicals like that you desire. A very handy, all in one place resource for your gaming needs.

refund worthy. i shouldnt have to play online to actually play with this. there should be offline mode. good luck if you buy it. its far from user friendly.

When I first bought this product on early access, I thought it had a lot of things going for it. I spoke with the developer and offered my assistance to working on a wiki and helping to update guides. However I started to notice that less and less interaction, interest and response was taking place. Bug reports and suggestions started to build up and responses turned from we are working on it to simply being ignored. Sadly my time spend on the game was helping to report bugs and work on the projects i listed above. Sadly I was to late to realise that this project was a gimmick. The developer started a second project that as it seems to have also became the same thing. A WASTE OF MONEY! I would strongly urge anyone looking at this or the developers other projects to stay away and do not give your money to him. I would hate to see anyone spend the cash and not be eligible for a refund, such as the case with me on this program. I have fought with steam for a refund and sadly they side with the developer and their refund policy.

I tried this twice. I tried it once while it was in Early Access and refunded it in about 90 minutes because of how bad it is. The camera is very hard to control and is very annoying. There are no hotkeys for deleting things so making a mistake requires you to click everything and click delete each time OR clear the whole map from scratch. I purchased it a second time today because it might help me make better games out of my series of mods on Tabletop Simulator and I was hugely disappointed STILL. It's out of EA and it has the SAME problems. The biggest two problems. Horrible camera controls and no hotkey to delete placed items. HELL, you can't even EDIT a placed item! You have to delete it and re-place it to edit it. Can't rotate, resize, or move when it has been placed. Maybe it's just me not knowing how to use this, but there shouldn't be any secrets on how to effectively use this software. It's supposed to be ease of access, not frustrating and time consuming. I don't even get enough time to learn it because Steam's 2 hour playtime refund policy. I would require SEVERAL hours to get over these stupid controls and mechanics. There's so much more about this I hate but I can look passed those. I just HATE the two things listed above. I absolutely advise against purchasing this unless there's a sale. It's a good tool to have but the controls make it very frustrating. Save your $20USD and get something better than this. UNLESS you can look passed the horrible controls. It's just frustrating.
