Anybody home..?

It's quiet around here! What's the latest news? Any new features coming forth soon? Drawing tools to make shapes, perhaps?

We're home! :)

It's quiet from our part as we start getting ready for the next release (Beta 5). Several new features will be going from our internal Alpha to Beta with this release - hopefully we can get in everything we planned.

Was thinking it was a bit quite on the board myself. Glad to hear next version is nearing.

Cheers,
Smithy

Very excited to see what's coming up in the next version!

I finally finished off my world map and individual continent maps and now need to start on some local maps that focus on some of my primary adventure cities. Thing is, I'm kind of at a loss for how to do this with the current tools and art sets. I feel like I'm going to have to do a lot of back and forth between OWM and Photoshop to achieve what I'm looking to do.

What kind of look are you trying to achieve? Remember that after dungeon tools come city tools :) (though it will be for the release after, not this upcoming one).

That's good to know! City tools are probably what I'll need. I've included a couple of samples of the types of maps I'm looking at working on next:

Yep! I forget that in our website we mostly emphasize the existing functionality, but you can see in the Kickstarter page everything we promised for V1.0 :).

That last map in particular is what we are aiming for the city tools.

Yes, or I'll eat my own hat. Very very very tail end of a very long regression testing, should be out this week.
