Hi everyone! It's now been 2 months since Conclave Virtual Tabletop released and we want to thank all of you for your support. We truly appreciate getting to be a part of your table :) I wanted to do a quick post to share some of the updates that have come to Conclave since launch.
...Starting with *TUTORIALS*.

While we strive to make our UI and tools easy to understand and use, we realized we missed the mark early on by not including tutorials. You'll now find 12 tutorials (featuring text and video clips) that highlight everything from basic controls, to importing your Hero Forge library, to playing with others using Steam Remote Play Together.

Just a quick note on these, though: they are currently only in English. We're aiming to include translations for other languages soon.
Conclave Virtual Tabletop is designed for use with Steam Remote Play Together and other desktop streaming services, which allows your entire group to play using just one copy of Conclave. However, something we did not anticipate before launch was that if bad actors were connected to your game, they could potentially see your files by using Conclave's asset import tools. To combat this, Conclave now has a session password feature that you can set at startup, or at any time using the Preferences menu.

Enabling a session password will result in a password prompt appearing anytime you or another player attempts to import assets into Conclave. Be aware that the session password is reset when you close the game.
While many desktop streaming services can work for Conclave Virtual Tabletop, we want to reiterate that we recommend using Steam Remote Play Together for this, as it will ensure that players are not able to see anything on the host's computer outside of the game itself.

Besides the usual bug fixes, we're also committed to adding new tools to help facilitate play. When using the Grab tool, you can now toggle group selection to move multiple figures at once.
