Why this exists
Miliastra collaboration is complicated
You can either pass your whole stage around, or split it up using Shared Creation Mode. Either way, you need to carefully communicate to make sure you're not overwriting eachother's progress, and you have to share and import what you made with your team by hand.
Automated sharing reduces friction
miliastra/collab keeps track of slice reservations and lets you share individual slices with a changelog. Teammates download those updates automatically and choose when to apply them. As an added bonus, you automatically get version history.
Using the app
The app runs alongside your editor. It autodetects when you save your work in Miliastra.
-
Reserve your slices
Start working on a slice in the game and save! You will automatically reserve your slice, if available.
(you can also click Start work on the slices you want to edit)
-
Edit and save
Work in Miliastra as usual, then save the stage. The app detects changes to your saved slices.
-
Share your update
Review the changed slices, write down what changed, and click Share update.
-
Receive teammates’ changes
Updates download automatically! Just unload your stage and click apply!
Setting up a project
Choose OneDrive or use a desktop app for Dropbox / Google Drive
and pick a shared folder.
Keep the team folder separate from your Miliastra
game-save folder!
-
Split and save your stage
Create a new shared-creation mode project, or convert your existing stage. After opening the stage, save it once so the app can discover it.

Questions
Where are our stage files stored?
In your team’s OneDrive or shared folder. A shared folder can also be a folder synced by a service such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
Can Peet steal my stage?
Absolutely not! Your stage files are only uploaded to your storage platform! The app does use a small service to coordinate membership, reservations, and publication decisions, but this data is encrypted on your machine and decrypted on your team's machines, so Peet can't read a single thing!
Can two people edit the same slice?
The app warns about another creator’s reservation, but it cannot stop Miliastra from editing the slice. If both creators make changes, use the conflict controls to decide which version to keep. Changes within one slice are not automatically merged.
Do I need to install anything?
The app is a portable Windows executable. Download it and run it from a folder you can write to. Settings and saved connections are kept in your Windows profile.
How do I update the app?
Open App settings > Application updates to check for a newer release. You can also download the latest executable from GitHub, quit the running app from its tray icon, and replace your copy.
