Update of OWM?

Greetings!

It saddens me to have to post this but what is the status of OWM development?

I only saw two posts in 2024 in the forums and nothing on new development.

Thanks.

Perhaps a little more marketing would help, because in the last Youtube videos I saw in which map making tools were presented, OWM was never mentioned.

Agreed on marketing. While I don't follow such things on youtube, I see posts every now and then in RPG-related online forums asking for recommendations of mapping tools. I always respond to suggest OWM, but I can't recall the last time anyone else seemed to have even heard of it, never mind someone else recommending it.

We are still here! We have to juggle our other work with Other World Mapper as unfortunately cannot be our only project. That means we've also prioritized spending our time with dev for OWM rather than marketing, which is a problem too.

We used to have an easier time reaching people directly via social media but with the algorithm changes a few years ago it became a lot harder as most of that seems to want to be done via an influencer/personality showing the product/talking about it.

We'll do a dev update soon and we'll look into better out reach.

Thank you!
