I'm searching for a video or something that shows the dice improvements for FGU and can't find anything. If y'all know of anything, please point me in the right direction. All I can find is the mapping videos. If there are any other non-mapping teasers/demo videos, feel free to include those as well. Thanks!
Whoops! Yes text formatting, sorry! :) What I like the most about Fantasy Grounds is the DM support. But there's still a lot of space to improve in that area. Text formatting with hyperlink and auto-completion would be so good! I really hope to see the Kickstarter with a stretch goal including those features.Quote:

From what I know all the new VTT software are too much focused on map features. That's why I'm still with FG.
If this is a joke I will drop minimal amounts on unity when it comes about rather than my usual "everything" approach.
Rather than being excited I am just irritated, maybe that is their april fools joke... won't know until may I guess
I think one of the very early FGU discussions Moon mentioned that text formatting capabilities would be enhanced just because it will be using the tools built into Unity. but, don't recall any demo or discussion of that, plus I'm sure that any characters would have to be valid in xml/LUA.
Yes but, by default, the text formatting options of Unity UI is not "that much". However it's still better than the current FG standard.Quote:

This should finally clear it up.

Pretty awesome. I'll pencil it into the expenses for May. Can't wait to see the results! :D
Yes, dancing around in a "Shenanigans" T-shirt followed up by, "Seriously, it's real" on April Fools ... that really clears things up. :PQuote:

I don't know, can I ever get over seeing Doug dance like that? I think I'm going ot have to wait until the shock wears off!
Congrats to Doug, John and the SmiteWorks team. We know you have worked hard for a long time and I'm sure you are as happy as we all are that you finally can announce this. Hope you might hint some more on the upcoming FGF streams.
Clearly I can not drink the cup in front of me!

Though Doug has tried to reassure us with his dancing... I think waiting until FGFriday this Friday would be wise ;)
Isn't 5. 1. 2019 5-th January 2019?
Yes, if you are anywhere other than the States when it becomes May the 1st.Quote:

Not in the US. Most of the world does "Day - Month - Year", but the standard in the US is "Month - Day - Year"Quote:

Thank you for clearing it boys. One must still learn during journeys over world :o
ISO 8601 format is 2019-05-01, which make a lot of sense and has the benefit of sorting properly when you use it in file names
This. 100% this. Terrible day to announce something 'real'.Quote:

Or keep thing up in the air for a little longer. Let the buzz buzz and then tell everyone one to tune in to FG Fridays this Friday to find out more!Quote:

What a crazy streak of excitement yesterday! Can't wait!
As someone who loves to highlight text different colors (monsters=red, conditional actions=orange, environmental details=green, etc.) I would love to have this as a feature.Quote:
