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
