- Patch Title: v0.03 codenamed “Posing”
- Patch Release Date: April 5, 2024
The developer of Diorama Maker Playtest has released a new update for the game on April 5, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
Hello everyone!
Here is version v0.03 codenamed “Posing” (it’s live now!)
No video this time again (next time I promise).
Features/Improvements:
- There is a new “Pose” mode which allows you to manipulate certain parts of an object easily (see gif).
- The selection has been improved, the old system did not allow you to be inside an object (eg: if you get behind the wheel of a vehicle)
- The collision system has also been improved, in v0.02 if 2 objects touched each other (or were very close) the collision was canceled, there is now a tolerance which allows you to adjust an object stack while keeping collisions.
- The gallery now has a “New assets” tab which will be renewed with each update.
- New items also have a green dot in the gallery.
- The number of objects for each tab is also indicated at the top right.
- Finally the gallery is now explicitly deactivated when it is not possible to use it (eg: in duplicate or pose mode)
- The window edges for moving them are now 2x larger, hoping it’s better now ^^
- The grid snap now has a visual grid based on “points” that can be displayed. It’s not yet perfect due to object pivots rarely being centered, so more improvements will come in the future.
- Still for the grid snap, the 3 colored axes are displayed above the window to know where the X, Y and Z axes really are. It’s not yet perfect either but at least the information now exists.
- The object highlight is a little more subtle and discreet, but hey it will probably change again later ^^
- There are new assets, mainly vehicles, weapons, and other random items (don’t ask me why)
Known Issues:
- The “Pose” system works well as is but it does not yet have an interface for editing axis constraints, so if you group/ungroup parts of objects, there may be strange behavior.
- Do not load a previously created level, it will not load (and there will be an error in the background) because of the “Pose” system which changed along the way.
However, it is possible to save a new level. Sorry!
As usual available on:

For V0.04 I plan even more “quality of life” (surprise…) and also a lot more assets, I’m a little late on this part.
And I hope I can start getting the characters for v0.05, who knows…
