Tabletop Simulator: Update v7.2

By Michelle-Louise Janion,

Another small update this week to add in some overall game improvements. We've updated a couple of our earlier DLCs, like "Euphoria" and "Mistfall" and they look awesome! We'll be updating "Superfight" in a future patch as well, and then all our DLCs will have their own themes and custom backgrounds.

We also have made a LOT of optimizations and added improvements to the Custom Tile, Cloud Manager and Lua Scripting. Enjoy!

I tend to favour the puzzle, RPG, action-adventure and strategy genres. My particular favourites over the years have been Final Fantasy IX, Metal Gear Solid, Civilisation V and The Last of Us. I'm also a sucker for a series: Darksiders, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider etc.

I am a bit of a lone gamer as I tend to steer clear of PvP, and only play multiplayer with close friends.
