How music is made for Fablecraft

8 Thg11

Hello Fable friends, Ross and Cody here, the composers and sound designers of Tales of Fablecraft. We’ve received a lot of questions about how we make the music, so we thought we’d give you a small behind-the-scenes peek into our world. First, a bit about ourselves…

We’re childhood best friends who grew up playing music together, and both became obsessed with the art of recording music. We founded our custom music agency, Upright T-Rex Music[www.uprighttrexmusic.com], in 2011 and have composed for commercials, short films, exhibitions, and games like Two Dots, Dots & Co, Wavelength, Specimen, and Google I/O.

Now, let’s take a look at one of our recent tracks, the main song for Once Upon a Wildwood.

Here’s the full overview of the track in Ableton Live, our preferred music production software. Each colored bar contains a subgroup composed of many audio tracks, this session has around 130 tracks total.

Here’s what the bass subgroup looks like opened up:

Usually it’s not wise to use that many basses, but we sure do love it.

We use a mixture of real instruments, synthesizers, processed fake instruments, and re-sampling of things we’ve already recorded. We’re always trying to find new ways to make instruments seem less like themselves. The player should feel like the music they’re hearing actually came from another world and era.

One of the most used instruments in Fablecraft is the acoustic guitar. We tend to record a regular acoustic and then layer it with either bass ukulele, tenor guitar, bouzouki, banjolele, or even some mandolin. Combining different acoustic instruments gives it an ambiguous sound, less recognizable than just guitar.

We love synthesizers and use them in everything. They’re often hidden under acoustic instruments, so the song doesn’t feel too “electronic.” Here are a few of our favorite toys:

The tiny Casio keyboard on top of the Mini-Korg is an early consumer sampler meant for kids. It’s great for sound design, or anytime we need a blown-out/lo-fi vibe.

Another obsession is 90s synthesizer rack units (Ross can’t make a track without his trusty JV2080).

One of our most beloved instruments is this 1970s Rhodes electric piano. It uses a real harp inside (just like a piano), but instead of strings, it has small metal rods and is fully electric. Most importantly, it is also Albi’s favorite nap spot.

We love unique sounds that have age and color, so we incorporate vintage effects boxes as much as possible, especially anything that uses tape. Tape echos, spring reverbs, cassette decks, VCRs, you name it.

The gold box here is an early delay unit from 1950s Germany called an Echolette. It’s analog tubes and tape! Below is the last great tape echo ever made: the Roland 501 Space Echo. It has spring reverb and chorus (in stereo!). And above the Echolette is a trusty Memoryman delay pedal, which uses chips instead of tape (but still gets wild).

We’re also huge fans of guitar pedals, and the company Chase Bliss makes the best ones around. We use these on everything!

With percussion, we often record real instruments and then process them for a less recognizable sound. The 1980s MXR pitch shifter rack that allows you to pitch-shift instruments in real-time is a particular favorite.

We play most of the instruments ourselves (well, play them well enough), but for anything extra complicated, we hire outside help. Here’s Ross’s dad recording the bass for the Wildwood track last month:

And here he is working up a part on a Greek bouzouki, a bass mandolin. We love this thing because it sounds so unique.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this brief look into how we make the music for Tales of Fablecraft! Now scram, Albi has to get back to work

Only 3 different trees?

Hi there. This game is interesting. But I think it's way too limited or I didn't understand it. So no matter the class you pick you'll have the same 3 skilltree options? Radiant, Elementalist and Gravimancer? All classes with the same choices? What's the point of the classes if I'm right?...

Cool game but you don't "create your own adventures" like the description says.

Unless i'm missing something in the menus, you don't seem to have the ability to create your own adventures. You have the option of on the fly trying to piece things together but you can't prep anything. Can we really not create an adventure akin to what the packs have? Are we really expected to on the fly craft something as put together and organised and efficiently executed as the pre-made campaigns?...

Fablecraft’s next full adventure and iPad release are coming this month 🌳

1 Thg11

Welcome, Mages! 🧙‍♂️

This Fablecraft Friday is special. We’re here to announce the release dates for the next full Fablecraft adventure and the launch of the iPad version of our TTRPG. Here’s the best news: they’re dropping on the same day.

So, let’s begin.

Once Upon a Wildwood and the iPad version of Fablecraft will launch on November 19th, 2024

Prepare your parties, Mages! A new adventure and platform are arriving right before the holiday season begins.

Now’s a great time to introduce family and friends to Fablecraft; with a few tablets and laptops, you can easily get a session going in person. Just take care of the ever-changing wildwood.

What is Once Upon a Wildwood?

Once Upon a Wildwood is a fairytale-inspired adventure in a mushroom-corrupted wildwood. Adventurers will scale thorny walls, assist blind mice, kiss slimy frogs, and negotiate with magic doors, all while resisting the effects of The Lull.

Sounds like a thrilling time, doesn’t it? This adventure features beautiful art, battlemaps, monsters, music, and more. It will run the Fablecraft-standard five sessions in length, and it will be available in the in-game marketplace and on Steam as DLC for $19.99 on November 19th, 2024.

We’re working on getting all adventures up on Steam to make them easier to find, purchase, and gift for Steam users, so stay tuned for that as well.

Prepare for the iPad version of Fablecraft

Since Fablecraft’s inception, we’ve been working with multiplatform play in mind. Parties come in all shapes and sizes, and some folks prefer tablets and phones over PCs and laptops (and some prefer plain ol’ pen and paper, which we hope to one day address as well).

On November 19th, 2024, we’ll introduce iPads into the platform mix for Fablecraft.

Fablecraft willl support cross-platform accounts and cross-play functionality. This will remain true for all platforms that play Fablecraft. Some folks will use their tablets and mobile devices for in-person play and keep their remote sessions to their PCs and laptops, and we’re working to make that all as seamless as possible.

Whether you’re dragging and dropping scene changes or taking on a Wildwood Dragon in combat, the touchscreen controls in Fablecraft feel really good. If you own a tablet, we hope you give it a shot. You can pre-register the iPad version of Fablecraft on the App Store now[apps.apple.com] so you’ll be ready for release.

A quick reminder: grab the Halloween one-shot before it’s gone

One last note before we go, Mages. Halloween was yesterday, of course, but you might want to run this spooky one-shot even after all the candy’s been distributed.

Be sure to log in and grab the free Halloween one-shot, A Fright in Fallen Branch before it’s gone for good. We’ll remove the Halloween one-shot from the marketplace with the update that delivers Once Upon a Wildwood. Don’t worry, we won’t be taking it from your libraries if you own it, so get it now.

That’s it for this week’s edition of Fablecraft Friday. Be sure to join our Discord[discord.gg] and discover your party for Once Upon a Wildwood.

See you soon!

Fablecraft

A very important question to the creators

so I'm currently working on my own tabletop rpg which involves a LOT of math (at least for character creation) and heard that you can easily add homebrew to this system I'm hoping to test run my system in a digital format with some of my friends, but do not know a lot about programming or making a game what I'm wondering is: 1. can I do this or does it violate something in the terms of service, I looked through it and it didn't look like it would cause problems but I want to be sure. 2. if I put this hom...

iPad release & quality-of-life features incoming! 🧙‍♀️🔮

25 Thg10

Greetings, Mages! 🧙‍♂️ It’s Fablecraft Friday!

We’ll start with the news: the iPad version of Tales of Fablecraft is coming soon.

Fablecraft is cross-platform and supports cross-play, so you can hang out in-person or remotely and play Fablecraft with friends on tablets, PCs, and Macs. We’re slated to hit Android tablets next, and we’ll be on mobile in 2025. Mobile will support cross-play, too.

For the iPad owners among us, this launch is surely exciting news. But what about folks who exclusively play on Steam?

We’ve been working to pack the update accompanying the iPad launch with quality-of-life features that will make Fablecraft better regardless of which platform you play on. With this week’s edition of Fablecraft Friday, we’ll preview some of the key quality-of-life features bound for the next major update.

Let’s begin.

Stackable consumables should help a Mage’s inventory

While magic may run rampant in Mythas, any Mage knows that inventory space resists almost all forms of magical roleplay. Your pockets won’t get deeper, and your slots won’t grow in number.

For Mages hoping to stock up on consumables, limited inventory can make it tough to tote multiple Curative Cordials alongside those “important” and “quest-relevant” items you looted from that “magical and powerful” creature.

With the next major update, Fablecraft’s inventory system will support stackable consumables. That means your Curative Cordials can be stacked so they only occupy a single inventory slot regardless of how many you choose to carry.

Take a look at our friend Leaf Needles’ inventory above. He’s holding four Curative Cordials in a stack at this exact moment, denoted by the counter in the lower left corner of the item.

And, because Curative Cordials can be used in battle to heal for 15 HP, you’ll also see the stack of four potions on the action bar.

Some friends need to be blocked

We’re looking to expand the social elements of Fablecraft over time, which means we need more robust social features typical of online platforms with friending and chat capabilities.

One such feature is the ability to block friends. This one’s been requested a few times on our Discord, and we’re glad to deliver it as we welcome in a new platform of potential players and friends.

Go on, then, block that pesky pal.

Easily accessible social features

The last incoming update we want to highlight will make doing social things, including blocking and friending, a bit easier once you’re in a campaign with a party.

With today’s version of Fablecraft, right-clicking on a player’s character portrait only brings up a menu for the GM. For players, right-clicking does nothing, but GMs get a button that lets them edit the health and shields of a player.

With the next major Fablecraft update, all players will get access to a menu when they right-click on a player’s character portrait.

Players will be able to view the selected user’s character sheet, GMs will retain the ability to edit the character’s health and shields, and all users will find the block and report functions in this menu. Finally, if the selected user isn’t already a friend, you’ll be able to befriend them with this menu, too.

Beware what lives in the shadows of Mythas…

We are in the depths of the spooky season, and we wanted to share some more ways to make your Fablecraft sessions a bit more haunting! While you can already grab our free Halloween-inspired one-shot adventure, we will highlight some of our scarier monsters via our socials leading up to Halloween!

Taking a cue from old monster movies you’d grab from your local rental store; we’ll be sharing some of the darker creatures that reside in Mythas. Up first: our ole’ pal, the Bone Collector. 🦴 You can read more about it on our brand new Tumblr blog[fablecraftgame.tumblr.com], where we’ll be sharing lore tidbits & GM resources for the community.

That’s it for this week’s update. As soon as we have the precise release date for the iPad version of Fablecraft and all of the enhancements we’re including with it, we’ll share it with you here and on Discord.

Speaking of Discord, more groups are spinning up every day. If you’re looking for a party of Mages to explore Mythas with, join our Discord[discord.gg] and find your group.

This game finally allowed me to play a TTRPG with my friends in a way they understand.

The core idea and game is there, now it's just a matter of polishing. E.g. custom npc's and enemies, battlemaps, items etc.

One of my favourite features has to be the GM's Guide. It allows the GM to easily execute events and read their scripts with a click of a button. Has the players reached an area where combat will happen? Simply click on the combat map that was put into the GM's Guide script and all the foes and relevant map will be loaded in.

Currently however, only pre-made scripted adventures can be used in this format. Allowing GM's to write their own scripts and add them to this side bar along with the events, characters and items would be incredible.

Each pre-made adventure lasted my group about 3 hours.
