Hey you!
By any chance, are you into worldbuilding? Or perhaps, procedural generation? (:
Because if you are...
I finally release my world map generator! :D
It's free and you can use it in your browser to make fun maps like this ^ Or download it (free too) for downloading pixel-perfect versions of these maps.
I usually spend most of my time developing my turn based strategy game, Netherguild, but in the last few months, whenever I had some extra spare time during the week, I'd sit down and tinker on this map generator-
It's meant to be used for tabletop RPG game masters, for quickly trying to set up a world for their game- for any artists who enjoy drawing maps, that just needs that tiny creative spark to light up their torch of inspiration, or any other creative worldbuilder.
I had to do some optimizing to get it to be as fast as it is-!
But not all was well and easy- making this project was really tough at times and I ended up learning a whole lot.
Along the way, I sometimes encountered nasty bugs;
Psychadelic stuff!!!
But all in all, I'm really happy with the final result.
It ended up looking like this;
I worked a lot on the UI and UX after finishing up the generation algorithm, and it turned using this thing into a pretty addictive and fun experience for me (':
So please, try it out! Just hit [Generate Land] and [Generate Civ] a bunch of times, and you might get some pretty neat results.
And if I manage to awaken your inner world-builder too, then my job here is done.
