stability
5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game currently experiences noticeable bugs and UI issues, causing glitches and occasional lag, especially in its beta state. While core functions like mapmaking work, some features are unresponsive or glitchy, and the lack of an in-game tutorial and incomplete help resources hinder usability. However, ongoing development shows promise for improved stability and feature implementation in the future.
“Game is a bit buggy and laggy, but it works as a mapmaker. Once the online DLC gets released, I will definitely check it out. You can still theoretically run a game on it, but it might be better for now if you don't have the online to take a screenshot or export the 3D model and run the game elsewhere.”
“Some features are still pretty buggy (buttons that don't do anything, elements that seem like they should be clickable but aren't, texture layering glitches, etc.), but the developer is clearly pulling together a feature set that could put this program at the top of the VTT heap if properly implemented.”
“I love the concept, but the experience appears to be quite buggy, and the help page was blank, so I was trying to figure a lot of stuff out on my own. An in-game tutorial would be really nice for getting started.”
