ValoPlant 1.1 is out now!

ValoPlant is a website that allows you to create strategies on all maps released so far. After creating a lobby, you can invite your mates via the URL or the invite button. You can then drag and drop abilities and agents onto the map, which updates everyone else's lobbies in real time.

Here's the new stuff:

First off, drawing - by pressing either the draw button on the bottom right or by pressing CTRL, you can switch between drawing and object mode. During drawing mode, a small menu with different options as well as an eraser pops up. Also, in drawing mode you can’t scroll on the map and place/move objects around. You pretty much have to switch between the two modes constantly to create strategies efficiently – hence the CTRL keyboard shortcut. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll love it!

There were some other highly requested features such as vision cones, general icons and obviously the spike – these got added to a toolbox which means that yes, you can finally plant the spike in ValoPlant.

The second big feature this time around is the playbook. You can save an infinite amount of strategies into your personal playbook and use them at a later date. The only problem is that this feature can be quite costly on the server-side and thus, this feature, as well as some other cool features that are coming down the line (such as animated abilities), are locked behind a small paywall (smiliar to other freemium apps). The pro membership will also transfer to the iOS/Android apps, so you wouldn’t have to pay for it again. However, I currently can’t activate the monetization since I still need to wait for Riot’s OK on this.

The big vision for ValoPlant is to have complete interoperability between mobile, web and the ingame overlay version – meaning that someone could join the lobby via the mobile app, your teammate might use the ingame overlay etc. You could even create strategies on the go and use/refine them once your back home!

Enough talk, get out there and enjoy drawing as many eggplant-shaped objects as your heart desires!
