• Place things with numbers, like OBS: the Build your own Layer editor now shows Left (X), Top (Y), Width and Height in pixels on the 1920 x 1080 screen for anything you pick, the screen's own pieces too, and the numbers follow along while you drag. The Create studio logo has a typed size box next to its X and Y, and the Custom layout boxes already take numbers. Thanks to Morty for the idea.
• New god: Nike, Goddess of Victory, from today's SMITE 2 update. She is in the panel, every draft layout, the Post game stats reader, the recap card, the God kit, Update My Resources and every broadcast package download. Her lock in voice line plays too.
• Amateur leagues (smiteprod.com/amateur): a new page under Packages for full esports broadcast packages made for amateur leagues. PSL is the first one, with screen previews and its download and music buttons. League packages come as is and cannot be customized.
• Cleaner site menu: five sections on top (Draft studio, Live tools, Packages, Resources, Help), with the pages of the section you are in on a second row. Every old address still works.
• Broadcast packages: the page now starts with the grid of every package. Pick one to see its video, screens and download, with buttons to step to the next package or go back to the list.
• Custom layout (smiteprod.com/custom): show the pick and ban draft on art you made yourself. Pick Pictures or An HTML page, add your art, drag the god slots onto it, then follow the three steps to add it to OBS and run the draft from the dock. You can add your own god art and font too. The page also shows how it compares with the PnB Layout desktop app.
• Custom layout: now builds a Post game screen and a Scorebug from your own art too. Pick the screen at the top of step 1, add your picture and drag the player rows or the numbers onto it. The stats come from the Post game stats page and the numbers from the screen reading scorebug. Each screen has its own OBS address in step 2.
• Screen reading scorebug: new "Try new things (experimental)" box in the panel. A Light or Gold trim look, team logos on the name plates, kills that light up when a team gets one, and a "Took the lead" tag when the gold lead flips. All off until you turn them on.
• Post game stats: new "More options" on the Post game page. Add a team total row under each team, give one player an MVP badge (or let it pick the best player on the winning team), show bars under the numbers, turn the best number stars off, or make the background see through so your own scene shows behind the stats. All off until you turn them on.
• Quick search: press Ctrl K (or /) on any page, or the Search button in the menu, and type to jump straight to any draft layout, broadcast package or page. Arrow keys to move, Enter to open. Picking a layout opens it on the Draft studio.
• Copy buttons: every Copy button on the site now shows a clear "Copied" tag right above it, so you know the address made it.
• Resource bank: the Hi-Rez browser now opens Hi-Rez's whole SMITE Community Resource Bank (wallpapers, emotes and the Creator Program Guidelines too). Its SMITE 1 folder is clearly marked as old game art, and the build tools never offer it, always the latest. The Gods tab adds small ban art and skin art for every god that has it, as zips and on each god's tile. New SMITE info tab with links to the SMITE 2 wiki and Liquipedia.
• New home page at smiteprod.com: what the site does, where to start (pick and ban, full broadcast, during the game, free assets), three steps to get on air and what is new. The Draft studio moved to smiteprod.com/draft, and every old address and OBS link still opens it.

Fixes

• The "prod peeps with PASSION" badge now shows right away on every site page, also when the count is slow or a privacy blocker stops it.
• Site check: an old note on the Draft studio about OBS not opening the addresses now gives the real fixes, the Create studio points to the control panel dock instead of "the main page", the scene counts on The G Arena, Legos Never Die and SMITE Worlds 1 are right, and Update my resources now brings new gods into SMITE Worlds 1 too (it works for every package on the site).
• Custom layout: the boxes and sample gods in step B now show up when you come back to Build your layout from another step. Before, the picture stayed empty until you changed something.
• Cleaner buttons at the top: the section you are in has a gold line under it and the page you are on a soft gold pill, instead of two bright pills. Sections with one page no longer show a second row.
• Tidier pages: the Draft studio top is shorter, with the tutorial, Custom layout and OBS guide as quick buttons under the title and the news card beside it. The Report a bug button is a small round button that spells itself out when you point at it, so it no longer covers buttons. On phones all five menu sections fit across the screen, and the Custom layout menu now looks like every other page.
• The Search button no longer rides along over the menu on phones; it sits by the site name. On computers the top bar now slides away while you scroll down and comes back as soon as you scroll up, so it stays out of the way.
• Screen reading scorebug improved: a big stress test and a logic pass. It now double checks blurry or tiny numbers before showing them and finds letterboxed captures. Tested on 8 real tournament clips (three broadcasts, 720p and 1080p, 2,880 frames), checked against 96 frames read by hand: it matched the exact frame 96% of the time and never showed a number that was not on screen. The rest of the time it was a moment behind while the gold ticked up. Fixed along the way: a speck holding back the right side gold, a panel edge read as a 1 (3 kills showing as 31), and one early misread that could stick. Not yet tested live in OBS.
• Screen reading scorebug (experimental): smaller, it now just covers the game's top bar and leaves the objective timer clear, and the caster bug sits in the top left corner. The reader holds the last numbers when you tab out, throws away impossible reads (no more gold jumping to 200000), finds the bar by itself if the boxes stop reading, and teaches itself from steady reads. Thanks to Pantheon SMITE League for testing it live.

Fixes

• Creations: posts made before the Remove button now have a "Yours? Ask to remove" button. Press it, add your name, and Malum removes it for you. Posts you make from now on still get a Remove button in the browser you posted from. On another device, the ask button shows on posts with your name. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Broadcast packages: preview pictures now open in a viewer right on the page instead of a new tab that only said "al". It shows the package and screen name, arrows (or swipe on a phone) to flip through that package's screens, Esc to close, plus Download and Full size buttons.

The site is now version 1.0. Updates from here count up: 1.1, 1.2 and so on, and 2.0 for the next big change. The number sits in the footer of every page.

New

• Creations: you can now remove your own posts from the showcase. Anything you submit from this browser gets a Yours tag and a Remove button on Creations. Only the browser that posted it can remove it, so nobody can take down someone else's design. Posts from before this update can't be removed this way; ask Malum and he will take them down. Thanks to blakeyymeow for asking for it.
• Hide dock steps: every broadcast package dock now has a Hide button on each step. Not using the Intro Video or Sponsors? Hide them and they fold away with their step button, and the dock remembers it. Bring a step back from Hidden steps at the bottom of the dock. Download the package again to get it. Thanks to blakeyymeow for the idea.
• Report a bug: every page has a Report a bug button in the bottom right (and in the footer under Help). Say what went wrong, add a screenshot if you like and your name or handle so we can thank you here when it is fixed.
• Skins god art (Experimental): usual god art stays the default. Set God art to Skins in the control panel (or on the Draft studio page) and every layout shows official SMITE 2 skin art on its picks and bans for the 69 gods that have one. The Draft Recap and post game screens follow it. Every broadcast package dock has the same GOD ART switch. The art is also a download in the Resource bank.
• Draft Theory controller: make your own badges (like POCKET or COUNTER) and put them on any god next to FLEX; up to 3 reasons per pick or ban, plus your own reasons; turn the draft or your whole God chart into a tier list on stream or as a picture.
• Streamer safety notes: every broadcast package guide and dock, the OBS guide and the scorebug page now warn you never to open Show Connect Info in OBS while you are live, since it shows your IP address and password, and what to do if it was on stream. Phone control boxes remind you to keep the code off stream.
• Draft Theory fixes: a fresh Draft Theory screen and controller start on Order vs Chaos, MOCK DRAFT instead of sample team names, buttons no longer cut off their words on small phones, and the saved drafts list no longer scrolls sideways on phones.
• Draft Theory portrait camera: once you add enough reasons, the camera turns portrait in the middle and your reasons fill both sides (the full why on the left, the thinking so far on the right). Set Auto, Always wide or Always portrait under Camera shape in the controller Setup tab.
• Draft Theory scrim report and opponent prep: your saved drafts show the gods banned and picked most, first picks, and for one team their comfort picks and what gets banned against them. Note a team's pocket and comfort picks and their gods get a tag in the Draft grid when they are in your draft.
• Draft Theory comp check and share links: the controller warns when a team is missing a role, has a role clash or no frontline yet (only in the controller, never on stream). Copy link sends a finished draft as a link that opens read only in any browser, and the other person can add it to their own Draft Theory.
• Draft Theory predict the pick (Experimental): chat types !guess and a god before you lock it, right guesses score points, with a leaderboard on stream.
• Draft Theory save as spreadsheet: save this draft, your saved drafts, your God chart, the tier list or everything as Excel (.xlsx), CSV or straight into Google Sheets, or copy the table, so teams can keep their drafts.
• Draft Theory chat vote and telestrator (Experimental): your Twitch chat votes on the god for the current pick or ban (no login, it reads public chat), and you can draw on your stream like a TV analyst, with an example to try.
• Draft Theory share picture: once you have drafted, press Save picture in the Draft Theory controller to get a picture of the draft for socials, with both teams, the bans, your reasons and the game plan. Copy picture works in an OBS dock, and every saved draft has a Picture button too.
• Creations: big Showcase and My library tabs, and the kind and sort switches sit on one row.
• Resource bank: the Hi-Rez folder list folds away (open on computers, closed on phones) and the categories are one swipe row on phones.
• OBS guide: on wide screens the steps list sits beside the guide and lights up the step you are reading.
• Scorebug: the screen reading scorebug box is shorter, with the long explanation under How it works and the setup steps beside the note.
• Phones: the step bar on Build your own and the tab bar on the Bracket builder stay at the top while you scroll.
• Bracket builder: controls in four tabs (Setup, Teams, Results, Look) with Next and Back, the bracket preview stays beside them.
• Draft studio: the control panel now stays in view as you scroll down to the OBS steps, and the tips sit in even cards.
• Create studio is cleaner: its controls sit in five tabs (Layout, Colors, Logo, Options, Save) with Next and Back, and the preview stays beside them.
• Build your own is now step by step: one step open at a time with a step bar on top, Back and Next under each step, and the live preview always in view. Step 1 splits into Broadcast packages, Draft studio looks and My own design.
• Broadcast packages page redesign: a cleaner top with quick facts, an All packages grid you can filter (Beginner / Simple, Full esports, Pantheon, Experimental), and tidier package cards with the download button up top, the video beside what is inside and a row of screens underneath. Long lists fold behind a Show more button.
• Alternative Life Style (Experimental): a new broadcast package dressed in official skin art, with a different style on every screen (magazine cover, polaroids, fight poster, trading cards, tabloid, ransom note, gig poster, vinyl sleeve).

Fixes

• Broadcast packages: dragging the bar on the preview videos now jumps to that spot. Thanks to Alex for finding it.
• Creations on phones: scrolling no longer flashes and jumps back to the top. Each design shows a soft blur of its own colors, and Tap to see this design live shows the real look, one at a time.
• Build your own package, Layer editor: Post game, Victory, BRB, Thanks for watching and other screens no longer show "can't access property m" after you open one screen and then another. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Build your own package, Layer editor: pictures, text, shapes and parts you add can be clicked and dragged again. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Build your own package: your own stinger is now made frame by frame instead of recorded live, so it plays smooth with no skipped frames and stays see through, and it works in Firefox too. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Draft studio page on phones: it now fits the screen like every other page instead of showing the whole desktop page shrunk down.
• Draft Theory controller on phones and narrow docks: the 20 steps sit in four rows of five so BAN and PICK are readable.
• Build your own package: the look and draft pictures show the whole screen instead of a tall cut off slice.
• OBS guide on phones: long addresses wrap inside their card.
• Pantheon and Fight Night packages: the OBS guide and the dock now have their own name at the top.
• Bigger, easier to read labels and notes in the control panel, and bigger Experimental tags.
• Wording: US spelling everywhere (colors, gray) and "control panel" in place of an old name on the Scorebug and Post game pages.
• Faster pages: the Draft studio page loads about 5 MB less (layout pictures load as you scroll to them), and the god grids in the control panel and the Draft Theory controller use smaller pictures.
• Easier to read and use: bigger god names in the control panel god grid, labels screen readers can read on the Post game page, and a clear focus ring in the Draft Theory controller.
• Shared links: every page now has its own preview card on Discord and X with the page name, and search engines get a clean list of the site's pages.

New

• Fan Favorite (Experimental): a draft layout and a full broadcast package built from what fans praise most in esports broadcasts. One fixed color per team (blue and orange, easy to tell apart for colorblind viewers), white type on solid dark panels, big god art, big bans right under each team, and the slot being picked lights up. The package has 17 screens, music made for it that is free to use on stream, confetti on Victory and a stinger with its own whoosh. Download it on the Broadcast packages page.
• Build your own package: Fan Favorite is now a starting look, and its pieces are in the layer editor parts.
• Build your own package: Layer editor on every screen, the Draft screen included. It opens in Simple mode with steps to follow: click something, drag it, make it bigger or smaller, change its color, add text, shapes, team logos, your own pictures and parts from the approved packages and looks. Move a cam box and its clear window and the OBS cam go with it. Tick Advanced for every setting with no help. Undo, and it all goes into your zip and OBS file.
• Build your own package: Use my design. Pick a design from My library (or paste its OBS address) and it becomes your package's Draft screen, with its logo, colors, font, camera boxes and pictures, driven by the package dock like the built in one. My library in Creations has a Use in a package button too. Thanks to blakeyymeow for asking for it.
• New name: the site is now SMITE 2 Production Studio. Same tools, same addresses, nothing to change in OBS.

Import teams and results from Challonge, share a live link people can watch (and OBS can show), save a PNG for socials, or download it as one HTML file you can keep editing and add to OBS

Fixes

• Build your own package: your own stinger now records even if the tab slips behind another one (it waits and starts again), and the download says plainly whether your stinger or the look's own one is in the zip. Packages made from a Draft studio look always find their stinger in OBS. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Broadcast packages (Runner, White Glow, Wii Style): the dock has a TEAM ROSTERS box under Match Up, laid out like the site panel, and you can paste a whole list at once. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.
• Creations: shared designs now show the way they were made, including camera boxes set to none, particles, light effects, backdrop and font. Designs shared before this need sharing again. Thanks to blakeyymeow for finding it.

New
