Disposable Tilescapes... Build your own tile maps

[pigames.net]

I've been working on Disposable Tilescapes, which lets you create your own 1"-tiled dungeon maps (and eventually other stuff like starship floor maps). The online interface is very simple to use. You click on a tile and can choose a floor, wall, and prop (any combination of the three). This will also be low-priced, at less than $10 per set, with any set giving you access to the system. You can save and maps and download to PDF. An eventual feature will also be the ability to host your map online, move around counters (from your available Disposable Heroes Paper Minis sets); this will work in a live fashion, permitting others to see your map with counters.

There will basically be 3 types of sets:
1. Customizable Tiles: these are the floor and wall tiles that you can use to build your own map.
2. Build Your Own Tiles: upload your own floor and wall tiles for use with the customizable tiles.
3. Props: general items that can be overlaid over floors for added effect (build your own props are likely at some point).
4. Statix Maps: a collection of ready-made maps in a single download.

See attachment for sample.

So, my question is, what features would you like to see in such in a product?

A light use ink mode. So that some can use it without using a ton of ink. Also a classic blue type walls and floors and ground.

There are actually two modes: color and B&W (mostly line art). So you can choose line art for less ink use. As far as blue walls and floors go, I'm not sure that fits the 1" tile concept. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!!!

Old school blue dungeon maps totally work at an inch scale

Any examples of blue 1"?

Something like http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2010/03/really-old-school-dungeon-tiles.html but blue like http://www.dragonsfoot.org/maps/ (scroll down to the blue sets)

I don't understand. None of these are 1" blue maps.

Another feature that has been added is the ability to make your maps public, so anyone can edit and download them (provided they have access to the required tile/prop sets).

A chat system has been added to the Battlemap feature, so you can play live internet games over the internet: the host can move counters around the map and all users can chat. It is still primitive, but will be expanded over time.
