New - Out of Stock Alerts!

The Game Crafter - Out of stock alerts for board game designers

We have implemented "out of stock" alerts for game designers at The Game Crafter. You'll now be notified via email if a part runs out and you have it in your game. You’ll then be notified again when the game part is back in stock. With this new system, you’ll be able to keep your game published by switching out parts that run out and then switch them back as soon as we have them back in stock. This is a feature that you, the community, told us was important and so we have delivered on it. :)

A bunch of new features released for Component.Studio

Fri, 10/20/2017 - 11:12 — The Game Crafter

We’ve released a whole bunch of new features for https://Component.Studio:

- Boxes, Circles, Hexes, and Polygons can now use gradients and hatches as fills in addition to solid colors.

- You can now use the Overprint Black option on all visible steps.

- Added a named colors key.

- Image Grids now skip empty / null URLs rather than stopping at the first empty.

- Image Grids now allow you to specify a color in the URL field so you can add a placeholder when you don’t yet have an image.

Crafter Points Spending Changes

The Game Crafter - The Leading Print On Demand Game Publisher

The Game Crafter has implemented a few Crafter Points (CP) spending changes we want you to know about:

1. You can now spend 5,000 CP once per day to promote your game to our Twitter feed.

2. We’ve changed our Facebook promoter to allow you to do it once per week rather than once ever. Still costs 10,000 CP.

3. You can not use the Twitter or Facebook promoters if your game does not pass safe search.

4. You can spend 10,000 CP to bypass the 10 day waiting period to publish your game.

Enjoy!
