Other World Mapper Forum

First, will we have the option to 'zoom' the maps in and out so we could have a thumbnail with names of major features like names of kingdoms and seas, and then the larger one with all the names of cities and such on it? There will be two ways to achieve this 1. Using the multiple views feature. Yo...

We've been focused on development, so the website got placed a bit in the back of the priorities. However, we went through all our notes, KS messages, KS comments, forum and reddit conversations we've had, and made a list of all the features beyond what's clear from the Kickstarter campaign.

Everyone on Kickstarter was awesome, asking great questions and giving great feedb...

The moving gridlines (medians, parallels, latitiudes, longitdues) - and by this I mean curving on the display - would be the best tool. The stretch goal that added additional map projections added elliptical projections (AKA Mollweide projection) that would take care of at least part of what you ar...

Thank you! Looking forward to your feedback once you try Other World Mapper!
