Toopan Games (@ToopanGames) revealed that 'Multiverse Designer,' their innovative virtual tabletop and storytelling platform, is slated for a Steam release in 2025. Ahead of the official launch, Kickstarter (@Kickstarter) backers will be granted exclusive early access to the inaugural beta version in 2024. The project has garnered overwhelming support, achieving an impressive 305% of its initial funding target.

Multiverse Designer is a revolutionary tool for game masters and storytellers alike. With a system as intuitive as it is deep and powerful, it puts in your hands everything you’ve ever dreamed of to create amazing stories. You can design 3D setpieces from scratch with an intuitive drag-and-drop UI, and fully customize them to their finest details – from the lighting, to level layout, floor colors and textures, heights… You can then populate the places you create with adventurers, NPCs or monsters.

Create unique stories and experiences to host and play any RPG you wish with friends utilising the immersive systems that Multiverse Designer provides where the players will only see what their character sees thanks to a dynamic light and shadow system. From high fantasy to sci-fi, Multiverse Designer is not limited to the kind of world building you want for your gaming session thanks to the massive library of 3D assets.

Every aspect of the level design is fully customizable, from the lighting, to the level layout, the floor and roof tile colour and textures, or even the height of each environment. Multiverse Designer comes with an asset library, allowing you to create and explore your own creations and share them with other players and DMs. You can even expand your library by importing external 3D assets, resulting in limitless possibilities for your imagination to run wild and create the perfect experience.

Multiverse Designer is also the most immersive virtual tabletop ever created, thanks to features such as the Roleplay Theater tool that brings your character to life with real-time lip-synching; or the fog of war with a dynamic light and shadow system, which makes you experience the world through your character’s eyes. Toopan Games has shown the possibilities of Multiverse Designer during the campaign creating a cyberpunk map, another one set in a Victorian London, or a lost city in the jungle. They have even recreated castle Pyke from Game of Thrones.
