I have started work on adding support for companions to Hephaistos. While my current focus is on robot companions, as described in the Tech Class Playtest, I am approaching the feature in a more general way, so adding other types of companion (animal companions, pets, familiars, eidolons etc.) in the future should be relatively easy. I don't have a strict timeline, but I'm aiming to have robot companions available on the website before GenCon.

Fifth Anniversary​

It's been five years is I first released Hephaistos, back at the end of June 2020. Between the Community Use Policy, and thus Hephaistos itself, almost getting canned, and the release of multiple Starfinder 2E playtests, the last twelve months have been quite the rollercoaster. And now, with the SF2E release within reach, development on Hephaistos websites for both editions is in full swing.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Hephaistos is what it is because of the Starfinder community. Each bug reported, each suggestion submitted and each dollar donated ensures that the next release will be better than the last. So, thank you all, for helping make Hephaistos better.
