Creating your first game with Tabletop Creator

Tabletop Creator’s key elements and concepts

The main flow in the application consists of loading a project, iterating your designs and data as many times as you need and exporting your game items.

• Item: An element of your game (card, token, etc…)
• Blueprint: A design template for your items.
• Set: A collection of items.
  
  

Step by step

1. Open Tabletop Creator using the Steam client.
2. Click on the New button.
   Create and select an empty folder for your new TC project.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Create a new blueprint (your elements will take the layout of that template to be rendered).
   Make any changes you want to your new blueprint.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Go to the Components screen.
   Create a new set (a set is a collection of elements).
   
   
   
   
   
5. Create new items within your new set (an item is an item in your set).
   Make any changes you want to your new elements.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Repeat steps 3-5 as many times as you need to.
   Go to the Export screen.
7. Set your export preferences and export your game! ✨
