The Beta 2 of Geckos is now live ! And to celebrate this milestone, here's the all new and fresh logo for the application :

logo-250

But that's not all that have been done, of course. For a complete list of completed Issues, see this page. Here's a summary of what have been done :

  • Multiple Styles in one template
  • Inheritance in Styles (great for translations !)
  • Documentation moved to a better suited wiki
  • Bold and Italic with Rich Text Editor
  • List of pre-installed Templates (with a still-growing list of games / uses)
  • Validating the Template Code before using it
  • Image Editor with cropping functionnality (no need to prepare image beforehand)
  • Grouping Editable fields together (and hiding them)

All of these new features can be found in the demo project, hosted on Github. Test them, use them, feel free to report any bug, missing feature, wanted feature, or anything else via the Issues page.

What's coming next ? Well, I've got some things to do to fully complete the Beta 2 Release. Some documentation, tutorial to create a template, and update for some existing templates. Also, in the next weeks, new templates will appear : Pulp City, Dungeon World, Silver Tower, ... If you're a game developer and want to use geckos to edit cards for your game(s), feel free to contact me. As I did for "Au nom de l'Empereur" (check the installed templates), I can help create a template based on your work.

Also, there's the Beta 3 that's now waiting in line. Many many things are planned, and intermediate releases will surely happened. I'll get into the Template Editor as soon as possible. But I also got some interesting features that need to be added to the core engine. See the list.

Enjoy Geckos ! And feel free to speak about it !
