Overlord 2 is here 👁️

We are really excited to release a completely reimagined version of Overlord.

TLDR

  • It's an app that manages host extensions for you
  • It's way faster building layers
  • Simpler UI
  • Modernized layer building
  • Clarity in how layers are built
  • Group and ungroup with Precompose and Decompose
  • Clipping masks work great
  • Fixed gradient endpoints
  • Support more complex Illustrator art by expanding live elements
  • Lots of quality of life updates
  • Preparing for the future

Pricing and upgrading

Licenses come with one year of feature updates, so purchases after July 29, 2023 unlock the v2 upgrade for free. If you purchased Overlord more than a year ago, renew your license to get access to v2 and another year of feature updates.

Or pick up a brand new copy of Overlord. To keep things simple, new purchases and renewals are the same price.

Next steps

ICYMI: Our vision for the future

This new Overlord system is opening up a lot of new ways to work with art and connect creative apps. We have a roadmap for what we're working on now, and where we hope to explore in the future.

Roadmap

Up next are some additional ways of working with art from Illustrator:

  • Quick import and decompose Ai file layers
  • Per-character text styling
  • Image layers

Then later this year we will be releasing the Overlord connection to Figma. It's in beta right now and in use on some really amazing productions.

Thank you for going along this journey with us.
