I'm close to finishing and releasing my (battle)map-making software, MapForge. It's designed specifically for people who don't want to deal with the learning curve of programs like Gimp/Photoshop, yet it still has support for things like layers and filter/effects. I posted a short video demo...

Hi, folks. I am creating cross-platform map-making software (for Windows and macOS), suitable for creating both print-resolution maps and lower-resolution maps suitable for use with virtual tabletop software. It's called MapForge, and it will be sort of a spiritual successor to Dundjinni, but...

BRPG v1.9 has just been released. It is available only as a Full Install (no patch version this time around, too much has changed). Download v1.9 and read more about it here.

Down to the last 2 hours! Now with over 1800 backers. All Stretch Goals unlocked (again!). MapForge is now officially the highest-funded mapping software project on Kickstarter, by a decent margin. Read this Update if you've been on the fence. It might just change your mind. Always try to...

Thanks for doing that, especially given that you'll stick to Photoshop. Yes, I hope the MapForge community proves to be similar to the DJ community, which was a place where people shared their hard work freely and openly. That also has the added bonus of attracting non-users, and more than a few...

It's always helpful to have something to compare to, so take a look at another map-making app currently on Kickstarter called World Engine. It's web-based and a subscription-based service on which you easily spend $600 to an astounding $1200 over a five year period. Then head on over to the...

No, Maul. EPIC would be getting Paizo on board as a content provider, drawing on all the amazing assets they've amassed with their Flip Mat and Map Pack product lines. But this is still pretty cool. :)

It's worth mention to those interested in MapForge that, thanks to the already-unlocked Stretch Goals, everyone will get: 1. Nine free content Add-Ons, covering various genres (with 3 of the Add-Ons allowing for publishing or commercial use) 2. Support for random dungeon generation via Donjon...

New Stretch Goals added, by backer request. MapForge is now aiming for the record of highest funded map-making software project on Kickstarter (currently in 3rd place). But with only 3 days remaining, it's going to be a challenge. Click here for more info.

Old thread, I know, but... I'm currently working on trying to get the Dwarven Forge tiles ported to my MapForge software, which could theoretically replace their Map Maker web app. Follow this thread for info & developments.

We're down to the last 5 days of the MapForge Kickstarter campaign! Be sure to check out the new video I posted yesterday in Update #8.

The last Stretch Goal has been unlocked! 9 days remaining in the campaign.

A new "Commercial/Publisher Bundle" Pledge Level has been added to the MapForge Kickstarter campaign. Limited to the first 100 backers.

A couple of new Add-Ons for MapForge were also announced recently, by Bogie and Kepli (Dundjinni users will know the names), and they allow for publishing and commercial use. That makes for a total of 9 Add-Ons that allow for publishing and commercial use (and 3 of them are free!). The campaign...

The MapForge KS campaign just keeps getting better and better, as more and more Stretch Goals are unlocked. There are now NINE free content Add-Ons, which make for an awesome "Starter Pack". And support for randomly-generated maps will be provided through Donjon. Well over 1000 backers, with 17...

Check out the FAQ section on the Kickstarter page. One of the questions is all about using MapForge for publishing. Some content producers will be releasing MapForge Add-Ons that allow for commercial use of their artwork. Not all of the commercial Add-Ons have been announced yet; there may be...

Achieved!
