v1.1.0 Ramblings

DND Mapper
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This is a new thing that I'm doing. It's essentially me going further in depth into what I've chosen to do, what I will do and why.

Why 2D URP?

The new version of this mapping software uses Unity's 2D URP Pipeline (shouldn't it be 2D UR Pipeline?). This isn't an unnecessary change. I plan in the future to add a lighting and shadow system (no, the shadow tiles in the editor don't count). Though, for reasons, I've decided to postpone the lighting and shadow casting system and instead focus on real-time board-game functionality. This addition is not in vain however, as thanks to URP, individual layers can be recolored. Which is a nice touch.


What is the update plan for the future?

This:

  1. Board Game functionality
  2. Full lighting system
  3. General QoL updates
  4. ???
  5. Profit
