Programmers: please stand up!

[Kzach]

I once owned a copy of Dundjinni. It's on my Parallels partition. I can't access it 'cause I upgraded my MacOS to Snow Leopard and then Lion, and it broke Parallels. I haven't been able to afford to update Parallels to work and even though I have a Boot Camp partition, I've lost the serial number so I can't even install it on there and use it.

Of course, the Dundjinni folk are incommunicado and even if I was willing to spend more money (which I'm not), they don't seem to be selling it anymore.

So what are my alternatives?

Umm... CC3... way too complex for my needs and way too expensive. AutoREALM is free but beyond my tolerance level for usability versus frustration. Which leaves... nothing.

There's freaking NOTHING out there for making square grid maps at the level of Dundjinni maps. Dundjinni wasn't perfect, in fact I think it was a POS, but it had a learning curve that I could adapt to and made pretty custom maps for my games.

So, I'm asking for some programmer, somewhere, out there, in the mists of madness, to step up and make something for the massively huge online D&D community who are desperately in need of something to pick-up where Dundjinni left off. It doesn't have to be pretty, or incredibly complex. Just let us stamp a few custom images onto a square grid and paint in some bits here and there and I'm sure you'll make a lot of people happy.

If you have an electronic copy of your Dundjinni receipt, you can contact Kepli on the Dundjinni forums and he will get you a key.

For basic battlemaps, try inkwell ideas' Dungeonographer.

Unfortunately I got it five computers, four ISP's and two HDD crashes ago.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

It seems there are tons of untapped Markets out there and I can't settle for the explaination that theres no programmers out there looking to make some money on a somewhat simple dungeon design-type program.

Could probably program it in their sleep.....or at the least in their spare time.


Man I wish I had a buttload of expendable cash to throw at this.

Oh well.......guess i'll try out Campaign Cartographer 3.

People are trying, ......which is cool.


But I'd like to see software that could produce better looking maps than Dungeon Mapp and could be used on a more widely used OS like Windows.

It is all about the cloud Who controls that, controls the next platform.

With Gimp you can pretty much do everything your original software could do and it is free. Plus as you learn to do more, you will get more out of it as well.

I should think this Kepli should also have a copy of the electronic reciept, if he's verifying purchases. Seems like a discussion offline with him could resolve it by verifying some personal info with him.

Or find somebody with the install media and re-install it. hunt down a key on a warez site.
