Product Features

Steam Authentication

  • Any player with a Steam account can log into NautDrafter and authenticate right from there, no need for another account or password.
  • Even without a Steam account you can still spectate any servers that are drafting.

The Server List can be Reordered, Sorted and Searched

  • The list of game servers can be sorted by clicking on the headers.
  • Servers can be searched for by their name or description.

Easy Server Hosting

  • Any user with NautDrafter installed can host a Game Server. Read the How-To article here.

Configurable Servers

  • When hosting a game server you will be presented with a Server Config screen and can easily customize fields such as Drafting Timeline and the AwesomeNauts map you play on.

Password Protected Servers

  • Drafting sessions can be password-protected, preventing players and spectators without the password from joining.

Captain Conflict Resolution

  • NautDrafter uses data from the current Awesomenauts season to calculate your experience and resolve captain conflicts when teams are being picked.
  • If you want to be captain and your value is higher and their is a crew position available, the spot is yours.

Simple and Clean Drafting Interface

  • We have tried to keep the Drafting screen as uncluttered as possible for a fast and fluid gameplay experience.

Chat With Your Team

  • Use NautDrafter's built-in text-based chat system to communicate instantly with your team.

Spectator Support

  • Throughout the entire drafting process, from Team Selection to Drafting and right through to Character Selection, spectators can watch your game in real-time.
  • Spectators even have a special simplified Drafting screen that shows a breakdown of the Drafting Process as it happens.

Informative Summary Screen

  • We call it the Versus screen.
  • This displays the 3 'Nauts that have been selected by each team and which player has picked them.

Known Issues

  • Some network setups may prevent you from joining a server you have created.
  • If the application is not closed properly after creating a server, the server may still be shown in the server browser, but attempts to join it will fail.
  • Once a drafting session has ended, it is necessary for the host to close NautDrafter and recreate the server in order to start a new session.
