Forge Feature Roadmap
#18

August 6th 2020

  • Try a first pass at revamping the whole Game/Table concept and improve the descriptions and change the name of “My Table” to “My Foundry”, “Launch Game” into either “Launch Foundry” (for our own server) or “Access game” (for games we were invited to)
  • Add listing of players invited to a game as well as per-player usage statistics for that game
  • fix an import wizard crash during world migration if the world.json file is invalid
  • Fix an issue with updating internal subscription state for users after they downgrade their subscription
#19

August 7th 2020

  • Fix a race condition issue where logging in/logout may not appear to have worked until you refresh the page

August 11th 2020

  • Add support for Foundry VTT 0.7.1 (including first hotfix) in the Alpha channel
  • Add a “Return to Setup” button in the join page for the game owner
  • Sort player usage by time spent on a game in the game info hover list
  • The default game URL will now default to using your username instead of random dictionary words

  • Use smarter logic in the bazaar to allow updating a module by name even if the manifest url of the package is wrong.
  • Prevent a race condition where setting an admin key on Foundry while having the game in use could cause it to be restarted before the new admin key is set, which makes the Forge think an admin key is set while Foundry doesn’t know of the key.

  • Fix The Forge module to be compatible with the 0.7.1 release
  • Some misc server side improvements
