real shame, is there any chance there could be one last thing? disable tutorials on every launch, doesn’t seem to matter that I’ve used it 30 times this week the tutorial still runs through and cant get rid of it unless I run through it? I cant see a way to do stop it?

Also is there any possibility to opensource it? that way the work can be continued/built upon for others? in terms of how fast it is, I use it in my game pipeline to map out interiors and it would be awesome if I could modify it to suit some of the things I do with it. Just a thought as I really hate seeing software get developed and then it goes away for good, its sensational software. would be awesome.

What is the license for this file? can it be used commercially? Modified? Used on personal projects?

is there a license file etc?

Outstanding little library ! A must have for any low poly game dev or asset designer.

Bukkbeek did a great job making these thank you!

And as stated in a comment replied by bukkbeek to fishfour you can use these commercially.

Hey Baj, Curious to know when Drafft v2 is looking to be released? Such good software. Im keen to see what comes next.

thanks for the reply, The software is great. looking forward to seeing v2. ill try out the team. i had a think about the real time edit/database vs git /file based approach. i have an idea.

keeping the database is a good idea. but its mainly the documents that i think need the version control instead this could be of use.

when a document is open it could load a file, apon saving that file it could save that file as an auto export to word document in a specified path. While its open it could use a lock file or copy the existing “text based document” into memory allowing multi user still but the file save option will export the file.

still keeping the ability to live edit. but at the same time not locking it away some where and it cant be version controled. Essentially what im getting at is this :

[Server / Software] -> Settings {Set various file path for docs and other files} ––> server / software loads and reads the documents in said file path. {open document} -> initiate get (copy) into mem and add lock file… —> users save it checks and saves over the top or as a separate version and moves old version to a versioned folder.

Because its getting and saving it can be directed to a git controlled folder and be under version control and you dont actually need to change much in terms of software frame work. Plus the auto back up sent to a back up folder in that version control and the whole thing just works under git but keeps the server/software running entirely on its own.

This will help in times of disaster recovery as well as files are accessible fast and easily. as long as the software doesnt care that a change has occurred such as changed meta data to the existing file then git modifications from teams will work. also it will give you more freedom to develop services that matter as if there is a problem with git. thats gits problem. and restoring files is then just a matter of add the directory trees back and it sees the files and makes them available to the user. this will also give studios the ability to distribute the files consistently, know who makes a changes to the repo and when and prevents a complete breakdown if one person makes a mistake.

some things to think about at least. Hope that helps

Hey mate after some use. id love to give some thoughts on the software and hope this helps / gets more features that are actually used will be used in a studio environment like we are. i have so far tested this software over the past few days. and would like to get a few more features so it benefits you and any other dev that picks this up. How does it work if i want a small studio license. - i only need to have this on 3 - 5 machines (will depend on our next meeting as to exactly how many seats we will need to buy).

any chance we can get these colors and icons to be modifyable after creation. at the moment to change them i have to recreate the whole node then reorganise it back in place.

also the “Reverse” button in the timeline doesnt seem to function, at least i havent been able to get it to work.

image.png also is there any chance we could get a few more shortcuts and some extra functionality in the markdown editor? Things like creating checkboxes, possibly tables shortcut and the ability to resize images that are placed in there so we dont have to use as much syntax? that would speed up the use of the gdd creation and what not.

any chance we can get the list of the projects to be resortable? as in in drag and drop the order of the projects? that would make it a lot easier when working with multiple projects that have a successional position but is created later so you can group them. For example i have 6 current projects set up. 1 of them has 3 part series to it. how ever they were not created in order. But now they are a mess lol.

Would also love some information on how i can store backup of the content of this software, Where do the files get stored?

Cheers. So far this software is great. I can see many things that could use some tweaks but im definitely a fan and this software could absolutely be huge. its intuitive. though somethings could definitely benefit from some more documentation and examples that are available to view on the web in the form of text and screenshots rather than an example project.

Some form of version control would be absolutely amazing especialy for documents and with working in a team or at least the ability to create the files in a git based repo. and reinstate that after a reinstall. noit sure if that is possible.

Idea : Maybe the data can be saved in a git repo and the software reads from there, this way when working with a team or even on lots of things, if we need to we can revert something back and track changes based on the user, and make commit reports on what is changed.

Would absolutely love to see task management that wasnt a kanban. Kanban is great but text lists that you can assign to a user (especially with the database multi user) would be next level good. Benefits of creating text based check lists with the aboility to add basic comments to them as in descriptions on them and nest additional tasks would pretty much be a complete package.

Here is a picture of a system we currently use and would love to ditch for a software like yours. this is a dummy task i created to illustrate what i mean: the top arrow referes to a commit tracking number. can share that put it in search and that will come up directly. Not essential but does have great benefits especially when using it in commit messages in version control in the game dev pipeline. the tags is important fort searching as well but not essential but desired. Subtasks are essential as some tasks are nested very deep hence the the task number at the top. and a comment field is useful as well as it tracks the edits. image.png

Also is there any rules regarding using the software while im streaming/recording ? im going to provide a link to all the software im using but id like to know if you are cool with me doing so?

For any one considering this software: i thought about this as i have been using other software to manage my docs, I decided that 15 dollars was worth the risk. Do i recomend it? Absolutely. Just take the time to learn it and you wont look back. Great product and definitely worth the asking asking price. To any idie devs out there. If you dont buy this, your not doing yourself any favours. Get this software. Get it today and dont look back!

Scaling on 4k monitor is very hard to see. Its very small. Is there an option / possibility to set the scaling per monitor? or even have a scaling slider at the top right of the window or something we can use to zoom in

i know the screen shot makes it look bigger than it is. but trust me on a 4k laptop monitor thats 17 inches, thats incredibly hard to see.

cheers.

*** Edit *** Never mind. I found the option right in front of me the whole time XD
