Welcome to The Scoop, our regular community update for Tabletop Simulator and Berserk Games!

Dev Chat

Our last couple of updates have focused on upgrading to Unity 5. It's currently in beta, so if you haven't yet, please opt in to the beta by right clicking on Tabletop Simulator in your Steam library, clicking on properties and the Betas tab and in the drop down menu click on "beta - Unity 5". You do not need an access code, just click close and the update will occur. Keep in mind that there is a 550 meg download to switch between the live and beta build.



Minimum requirements Windows XP SP2
Minimum requirements Mac OS X 10.8

Regardless of which build you're on, you can play with everyone in multiplayer. Test out everything and report any issues and bugs either here or here. We plan to officially upgrade to Unity 5 in the live build soon, so the more people who test and give us input, the smoother the transition will be. Thanks!

I highly recommend checking it out. The overall performance and optimization & physics stability is fantastic! Also, upgrading to Unity 5 means we're one step closer to VR support! (No ETA, nor which ones we'll be supporting yet.)

It's hard to believe how much we've been improving TTS and it will only get better from here!

Also, don't forget to check out our Knowledge Base. There is a lot of helpful information that you may not have known existed, so be sure to read through it! We're adding things to it all the time, so keep checking back!

DLC News

We've got awesome news in the DLC sector! We're super excited to announce that we've partnered up with Cool Mini Or Not to bring Zombicide to Tabletop Simulator as DLC! Currently this will only be the core game, but we'll see how it goes! Are there other games by Cool Mini Or Not that you'd like to see in Tabletop Simulator? Let us know!

Zombicide is a collaborative game for 1 to 6 players, ages 13 and up. A game can last for 30min (beginner board) to 4 hours (expert board).

Each player controls between one (for 6 players) and four (solo game) survivors, human trapped in a zombie-infested town. In fact, “survivors” quickly change to “hunters” to smash zombies through and through. However, the team must constantly maintain a balance between survival and slaughter, for as the zombicide continues, the Danger Level increases, and the infected grow in numbers. Any misstep can turn to disaster.

Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool miniatures in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly balanced between “beat’em up” and “survival horror” as survivors keep switching from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest.

Future Updates

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.

Our main focus is with upgrading Tabletop Simulator to Unity 5. If you didn't notice it yet in the beta branch, hand zones have already been extended so that you can now create hand zones of varying sizes and they won't be capped like they were previously. It's only on Unity 5 though, so be sure to opt in to check it out!

Other than that, there are still a lot of things we're working on from before, but until Unity 5 is out, they are currently on the backburner.

Stay tuned!
