#generator #update #color #grids
Hey everyone!
During the last few weeks and months I've added a whole bunch of features to the world map generator; Let me share a few of these with you and tell you about them in more detail (:
I came across some really strangely shaped maps while browsing online; like a tall column map and a few others, which really inspired me to add this next feature!
Big worlds!
Tall worlds...
And wide worlds..!
All of these world shapes should help spice up your maps if you happen to have a specific shape you're looking for :D
This specific feature is still work-in-progress, and I might add to it in the future! If you have a specific shape for the world you'd like me to add (like ring-worlds!) maybe let me know; though making these is pretty hard and math-y! So only time will tell whether and which new world shapes would be added (:
I wanted to let users customize the look of their map in different ways;
So I came up with the idea of uploading different color palettes to create different themes!
Users can create their own palette, but here are two additional palettes / (color packages) I added to the generator in addition to the basic color palette; More info about this feature can be found in the [EXTRA_INFO.txt] file (:
This is the second one! Nicknamed "Wasteland", it's meant to represent wide swaths of varying deserts and wastelands, alongside with some very bright colors for those post apocalyptic "danger zones"- like places infested with mutant, gangs, mutant-gangs, nuclear wasteland, remains of failed alien terraforming efforts or something else! (:
Grids
And last but not least, I added these handy grids!
I thought they could be useful for anybody that might perhaps want to use maps generated as some kind of game-board, perhaps for a wargame?- these could also be handy for people wanting to divide their world map into smaller sub-maps (:
The end...?
If you liked any of these new features, please feel free to try them out here! https://superobot1.itch.io/world-map-generator
If you enjoyed the generator, please tell a friend / your tabletop gaming group about it- and if you really really (really) enjoyed it, please consider supporting it on my side-project Patreon;
And that's about it! At least for the time being- see you all in the next update! (:
Until then I'll be sure to polish these existing features an add a whole bunch more, hopefully!!
Either way, thank you for reading so far!
