We can hardly believe it, but Realm Works has been out for over 24 hours! Now that it’s available, we’ve had many people asking us about future features and their connection to the Realm Works cloud service. One of our top priorities is Realm Works Player Edition.
This Windows-based, player-focused version of Realm Works will allow players to access and view content revealed by the GM on their own computers. Players will also be able to leverage all the same powerful features as the GM version, such as full-text searching and user notes. An important component and the driving force behind this feature is our cloud service, which will allow GMs to easily share revealed information with their players.
As we stated in our release pricing announcement, we believe that connecting with your players through the cloud is a core part of Realm Works, which is why we chose to initially include 6 months of free cloud service for all new users. To that end, the 6-month cloud service “clock” won’t begin ticking until GMs can connect with their players through the cloud using Realm Works Player Edition.
This change applies to all our users (both for Kickstarter backers with 6 with cloud service, and those who purchased the product today and in the coming weeks). We anticipate that Realm Works Player Edition will be available for sale in May, so if it (hypothetically) launches on May 5th, your 6 months of cloud service will begin counting down that day, ending on November 4th.
Once the Player Edition is released, users can take advantage of the benefits of the Realm Works cloud as envisioned by our development team, and the cloud service clock will begin ticking. We’ve had a great response to Realm Works so far, and we think both players and GMs will recognize the Player Edition’s value as an integral tool for keeping players engaged with the story.
If you have any additional questions about the Player Edition or cloud service, please ask them here!
* Please note, if you have the GM Edition, you can also use that as a player.
