Tabletop Playground Game Banner
Genre: Casual, Indie, Simulation, Strategy, Early Access
Developer: Plasticity Studios
Release Date: Fri, 15 May 2020

Zones are now available! They allow you to change behavior in restricted parts of the playing area. Each zone behavior can be set to affect everyone, nobody, or only owners of the zone. You can set any player color to be an owner, and zones can have multiple owners. The available behavior switches are:

Object visibility: Objects in the zone can be hidden.
Object interaction: Objects in the zone can't be interacted with (but they remain visible).
Cursor visibility: Player cursors in the zone can be hidden from other players.
Snapping: All snap points within the zone can be deactivated.
Stacking: Adding cards to stacks within the zone can be disabled.
Inserting: Inserting objects into containers within the zone can be disabled.

Changes
• A new cursor mode allows you to create zones by dragging and edit existing zones by clicking or right clicking. You can enter zone mode through the player options or with a new keybinding (default 'U')
• The Zone coordinates window allows you to change position, rotation, and size of zones. It also activates a gizmo tool on the selected zone and works like the regular object coordinates window.
• In the zone properties window, you can switch shape and color of zones.
• The zone behavior window is where you define the owners and behavior switches of your zone.
• Zone mode can be forbidden in the session permissions.
• A new Zone object is available for scripting. You can get zone objects by using world.getZoneById, world.getAllZones, or world.createZone
