TaleBlazer is a platform for building and playing augmented reality, location-based, mobile games. Users design games in a web-based editor and then play the games on their mobile device with the TaleBlazer mobile app. The classical version of TaleBlazer is single-player, where each player plays in his or her own individual game world. A newer version of TaleBlazer is multiplayer, which involves multiple players sharing the same game world. This thesis describes new features added to the TaleBlazer multiplayer platform. The new features vary in size and scope. Some are large-scale new game mechanics, while others are on a smaller-scale. Overall, the added functionality allows game designers to design more complex games and gives players a better gameplay experience.

A newer version of TaleBlazer is multiplayer, which involves multiple players sharing the same game world. This thesis describes new features added to the TaleBlazer multiplayer platform. The new features vary in size and scope. Some are large-scale new game mechanics, while others are on a smaller-scale.
