Project Hedron

The Next Chapter for Hedron x Role Gate

Phase 1: Test Flight

"The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall."

In this phase, we complete the first iteration of the unified platform and open it up for everyone to break it!

Mid-September

Objectives

  • Unified Platform V1.0 is Launched for Mobile+Desktop Browser-only, focused on 2-3 "Key Systems" (5E, ??, ??)
  • Bug Fixes, Bug Fixes, & Bug Fixes (with maybe some features)

We're going to work super closely with eager members of both Role Gate and TTM to do the first official Beta Test of the full VTT experience (including in Play By Chat mode)!

Participating members will get a whole lot of sway when it comes to the new VTT experience, as well as a unique profile flair to forever honor their contributions. And all they have to do is try out the VTT with their groups!

For Role Gate users, we'll also offer the chance to have your games transitioned over early. Meaning you will get access to the future a bit earlier!

What Features Will Be Available?

Some of these will be familiar to Role Gate users, but here's the complete list!

  • Total Automation of Character Management and Rolling (Macros for RG Users) -- one button to add an item, cast a spell, or whatever else!
  • A Complete and FILTERABLE Record of Events, alongside Chat functionalities (standard stuff for RG)
  • Fully customizable Character Sheets, with automated calculations (with breakdowns) and live-updating!
  • Fully customizable GM-view, so you can have a central sheet that shows all the key details of your party (like AC and Perception!)
  • Custom Tones, "Roll++" (Even more advanced dice rolling!), and all of the other features of Role Gate

What about Mobile?

TTM+RG's Unified Platform is definitely setting our sights on a 1st Class Mobile Experience.

But, we probably won't get there in time for Project Hedron. Instead, we're going to simulate that experience via Mobile Browser. It'll have all the stuff above, just in your browser!

And of course, it'll have all the same functionalities as Browser. Check it out these early designs:

Phase 2: Early Access

"Perfect is good but done is better."

With the Refinements complete, and the platform fully operational for Role Gate users, we can properly open the doors for everyone!

Early November

Objectives

  • Role Gate Users can link their accounts and transition to the new Platform when they are ready.
  • Transition At Least 50% of Active Campaigns
  • Release the First Iteration of the Mobile App

With the heavy lifting complete, and the bulk of the work done, we're beginning the official move to the new platform.

Which will mean WEEKLY updates for everyone. New features being put out as fast as they can be explained and the standards of TTM's performance (<0.1s load times) upheld for all.

At this point, it'll be up to folks to decide for themselves if they want to change over, or keep using Role Gate. There's no forced move or anything like that -- it's at your own leisure.

Phase 3: The Next Chapter

"Every thing must have a beginning … and that beginning must be linked to something that went before."

If everything has gone to plan till here, then that's fantastic. But it's also just the beginning.
