WHAT’S NEXT FOR TALISMAN: DIGITAL EDITION
Hi Nomads!
As we’re sure you all noticed, we recently updated the main menu for Talisman: Digital Edition to make it look a lot nicer and easier to use.
Well, we’ve not finished updating Talisman yet! We’re ready to give you all a look at what we’ve got planned next for Talisman, in our upcoming profile update.
So what is in this update?
Notice something different about the main menu? What’s that in the bottom right corner?
Currently the only thing that your profile does in Talisman: Digital Edition is level up to unlock runestones, and keep track of some in-game achievements (and bragging rights of course). We’ve been working hard to overhaul the profile system in order to give you loads more customisation options and stats.
Nomad Games Account
Last year we mutually agreed with Asmodee that they would no longer publish our titles, and we would return to self-publishing. They were kind enough to allow us to continue to use the Asmodee login system while we worked on a replacement for the system, and now that system is nearly here!
Not only does the Nomad Games Account system do everything that the Asmodee login did (sync your purchases across Steam and mobile, keep track of your stats) it also allows you to access this new profile system!
Having a Nomad Games Account makes it much easier for our support team to identify issues you might be having, so it’s a win-win!
Please note that we still won’t be able to offer purchase syncing across the Nintendo Switch or PS4 versions of Talisman, due to restrictions on those platforms.
Avatars
Want to show off who your favourite Talisman character is? Or just want to look cool in front of all your friends? In this new update, you’ll be able to choose an avatar for your profile.
While some avatars will be unlocked from the start, we’re hoping to add even more as time goes on. We’ll share more about them as we get closer to release!
Alerts and notifications
Worried you might miss out on the latest Talisman news? Don’t worry any more! We’ll be able to share the latest Talisman updates, tips and announcements with you directly now with notifications in the corner of the main menu.
Stats
Do you want to know more about your Talisman playing habits then you could have ever asked for? Well have we got good news for you!
We’ve added a whole heap of new things that the game will track, so you’ll finally be able to know just how many times you’ve played as the Leprechaun, or how many times you’ve rolled a 1!
New Leaderboards
And along with all these exciting new stats comes exciting new leaderboards! A lot of the stats you saw above also have leaderboards associated with them.
Want to be the No.1 Talisman player in the world when it comes to being turned into a toad? Now is the time to prove it!
Friend Stats
Want to compare yourself against your friends? We won’t judge if you want to start bragging, honest.
Right now this function is only to show you their stats, however we’re hoping to eventually add the ability to invite people to games directly from your friends list. That’ll take a bit more development though!
Will I need to pay for any of this?
Nope! All you need is to sign up for a Nomad Games Account and you’ll have full access to all the features listed above. You also won’t be able to purchase avatars - we’ll share more about how exactly you’ll be able to get them at a later date.
Please note that if you don’t want to sign up for an account, you’ll still be able to play Talisman as before - you just won’t have access to these extra profile features or cross-platform purchase syncing.
When will this be released?
Right now we’re in the process of running final tests on these new features, and then we’ll need to make sure that everything works correctly on multiple devices.
As soon as the update is ready to release, we’ll be shouting about it on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Discord - if you want to make sure you don’t miss out, follow us on your preferred platform!
