What’s new for Layer creators (June 2024)

Happy Summer Layer Creators! We hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine, as well as the ability to create professional game assets with ease. 😅

It’s always been our goal to ensure that Layer is diverse and inclusive as a team, and accessible and open as a tool. To that end, we’re excited to announce that we now support multi-language inputs for prompting, setting an industry standard for how tools should be built. 

Likewise, we’re also proud to have added  Maxime Côté and Michael Sabetta to the team, joining from Canada and the US respectively. Our CRO & Co-founder Burcu Hakguder will also be representing Layer at a Women in AI event at VB Transform - which we’re incredibly proud to be a part of.

Platform Updates ⚙️

Improvements and changes to the Layer platform. 

• Multi-language support for prompting. You can now generate Layer assets in your native language, as well as refine using prompts inside the Layer Canvas.
• Multi-forge design improvements. Generate images with a sleek new look, including timers and forge headers.
• Major updates to Styles Pages. Effortlessly manage styles with our updated style pages - now categorically organized based on usecases and separated by workspace styles, imported styles, and exploration styles. Added clarity and flexibility with uploading and exporting third-party styles.
• Updates for app.layer homepage. Layer app homepage was redesigned to make site navigation easier and more intuitive. Addition of quick actions tabs to make picking up where you left off easier than ever.

Layer 2024 Summer Offsite 🚤

While we’re big supporters of remote work, sometimes it’s great to get the team together. We spent a week together building out our product roadmap, designing new features, and looking to the future - alongside some poolside chill sessions. Interested in working with us?

Looking Ahead 🔮

To accomplish our mission of enabling artists and creators around the world, we’re laser focused on usability. As we power through the summer we’ll be adding regular product updates each month, designed to make Layer easier and more intuitive to use - such as our homepage updates. We’ll also be publishing more high-quality onboarding guides, tutorials, and documentation to get you started - keep an eye out for guides in July!
