Version 3.0 adds zone/shard synchronization

New Features​

  • We now have a cross-server synchronization system with the use of Sync Items (formally known as Persistent Items; you can still persist Sync Items)
  • We upgraded our database ORM Prisma to add support for cuid2 IDs, and changed the defaults to use cuid2 for ID generation which brings more secure IDs (though we weren't using them in an unsecure way before)
  • We've released a public mirror of the documentation so if something catastrophic happens that would result in this website going down, you'll still have access to the full documentation
  • We've enabled Standard Licenses to package the Match Function when using Open Match
  • We made the process for customizing the Match Function more modular so you create a new class instead of modify the one provided in the source (which would cause merge conflicts)
  • We changed the example of the World Data in the RPG Template
  • Standard Licenses can now use the Dev Initiator on macOS and Linux

The backend didn't change except for the version number; we've updated the zip regardless.

ARedwoodCharacter has been replaced with URedwoodCharacterComponent​

This breaking change changes how player character data is set up. Long story short, to support pawns that inherit from APawn instead of ACharacter, the data persistence happens in an Actor Component instead of an Actor. This supports using Redwood with the UE Mover plugin, the marketplace GMCv2 plugin, and other scenarios that don't use UCharacterMovementComponent.

After conducting a survey, over 75% of the participants favored switching to a royalty fees based model. Here's what that change will look like:

  • If you purchase(d) Redwood before Oct 1, you'll keep your unlimited projects perpetual license with full source code, free perpetual updates, and never owe royalties
  • Indie Licensees can keep their current license or opt for a refund and switch to the royalty model
  • After Oct 1, everyone can use Redwood with limited source code and 4% gross revenue royalties after $100k USD
  • Custom licenses are available for full source code, console support, private/dedicated support, reduced royalty rate, and co-development
