Waldo's Weekly - Modern World

[Kyle]

Hey Wyrdos,

This week, we took Waldo shopping. To make him feel comfortable in this digital age, we decided to take him somewhere closer to his own comfort level: a desolate ruin where the people fight for scraps and attention called a “mall.” After the umpteenth request, like “can I help you” and “do you need a hand with that” and “don’t eat that” and “please stop burning the merchandise,” Waldo just about got his fill. That was until we stumbled into the food court. We’ve never seen Waldo more excited.

So while we try to drag him away from the pretzel stand, let’s go over the next big thing for Malifaux Third Edition!

You might remember our announcement a while back about the Malifaux Third Edition app and its beta. Well, thanks to our incredible testing community who found bugs and suggested features, we (well, mainly our dev and fellow community member, DZ) managed to put something together that we’re quite proud of.

Today, we’re announcing that the Malifaux Crew Builder app is now available on mobile devices!

   

Here are some of the exciting features that you can expect with the Malifaux Crew Builder:

• Read all of the latest Wyrd news, such as this very announcement!
• Listen to Breachside Broadcast as you’re playing.
• View all of Malifaux Third Edition’s game cards (which includes Stat Cards and Upgrades).
• Reference information on Deployments, Strategies and Schemes, Conditions, General Actions, and the Core Rules.
• Build Crews for games of all types and sizes.
• Share those Crews with your friends via QR Codes or direct links.
• Start and join games, both locally and via a network.
• Track game information such as Victory Points, Health, and Conditions.
• Create an account and use that account to sign in on multiple devices, giving you access to the Crews you built.
• And much more!

Did I mention that the app is 100% free? Every card, feature, and update is available at absolutely no cost to you.

   

Don’t have a mobile device? Don’t worry! In the near future, we will also be providing a web version that can be accessed on any PC, which will include the same major functionality as the mobile version (hardware capabilities permitting). Don’t have a PC or a mobile device? How are you even reading this?

You can download the app on the Google Play Store right now, and will be available on Apple devices very soon (it's going through approval as you read this).

EDIT: the app is now also available on Apple's App Store, too!

Hi! Some of the alt models are in the app and some aren't and some (Miss Terious) are in the app but as the wrong models. Is this something that's still being worked on or did you all decide not to put in alts? If you are still working on it will we also get alts like the 2e versions of models like Daydreams? We already have the cards is why I ask.

[Clement]

Is the login it asks for tied to the forums or webstore?  Or is it its own thing.

Alt models will be adjusted in a future update.

We have no plans on adding older 2e cards to the app at this time. The reason behind it is a space issue. Luckily, all of the cards are still available on our Dropbox (at a whopping 4GB for all of them).

It is its own thing that is for the app and the app alone. It comes in handy for a few things, such as if you had multiple devices and wanted to save your Crews across them.

I've been playing around the app a bit and it looks nice!
Also, nice to discover the artwork for the Lyssa

[MrPieChee]

Would be really nice if you could add all the models you own and select them to build crews from and to store the cards of...

(Would also be nice if you could keep track of what's built, based and painted, and what your next purchases are likely to be)

[Also, I don't seem to be able to move the install to my sd card - it has to be on the internal memory. Given how much space the cards take up it seems like an important feature!]

You can track what is painted. Its the paint brush logo under the cards name on the Browse Cards screen, can also use the heart and check mark for something else like owned, assembled or whatever you like.

@Kyle will you be writing a follow up post for iOS users when the app is available?

I'll let everyone know as soon as I do. It won't be its own Waldo's Weekly, though. It'll be just an update to this thread, so keep an eye out.

Are there any plans to make a desktop version?  I understand why mobile is the priority, but desktop would have some uses too and wouldn't seem too hard to do.

Its mentioned in the main post. Granted its near the bottom but it is there.

I seem unable to name my crews. I change the name and save, but in the list of saved crews it just says "New (master of choise) crew" anyway. Still very nice app. I hope to get my first M3e game going soon.

Edited for spelling.

There is a weird framework issue here that's tough to get around, but when you're done editing the name, tap the "done/save" icon on your keyboard instead of just dismissing it. That should save the name.

Thanks, that made the whole difference!

[Saduhem]

Thanks @dzlier! This is incredible!

Usually Appstore approves within 1 day, why it taaakes so loooong :S

[Nathillien]

By the way, why we have a lot of Alt masters cards in the app, but noalt McCabe card available?

 

[yool1981]

Awesome ! I can’t wait to see it on the Apple store !

Do you plan a multi language App ? It would be far easier to convince new non English speaking players  if they had access to the same App and were able to set it up to see the cards and rules in their native language.

Because as of the M3E launch there is no alt McCabe.

(Rollins Black's fate is unknown, but they've said he'll eventually be playable. A lot of speculation about whether he'll still be an alt McCabe or a new masters but for now we have no official confirmation which means no stat card.)

Whom else he can be with a dog totem, mounted and unmounted version and with a shooter hench? I guess it is only mounted guards, whos fate is under a question

Hi, it's a great news.

But for now I can't change title of a Youko list. Am I the only to have this bug?

Perhaps this can solve your problem (found in Malifaux Discussion M3E Crew Builder App):

I can't get the app to save names for crews, it just reverts to default name when saved

Tap the "done/save" icon on your keyboard when done editing a name. There's a weird framework issue here, though this sounds common enough to revisit trying to fix it.

ok thanks,^^

[Beta]

Yay!
But sadly the text on the cards is still blurry 😥

If you tap the image it goes from filling the screen to going to the width of the screen, if zoomed out looks blurry on your phone zoomed in might help.
