Hello all you fine folks!

I've originally had planned on spending the last three weeks creating a bunch of indoor battlemaps, but I thought it might have been a fun concept to start with a hub map (a region/town map of the area) that could be used to navigate to all the buildings I was planning on making. One thing led to another and I ended up building an isometric village, fully interactive and animated for users who use Foundry VTT, built out of assets DungeonDraft users would be able to use to build their own village map as well...

This sort of led me down a rabbit hole of playtesting, and figuring out how I could manage to get it all working, and now, some weeks later I've finally managed to piece it all together!

DUNGEONDRAFT

For my Dungeondraft users, I have I believe about 150 isometric town assets available for download that allow you to make your own map in DungeonDraft.

MAPS - APRIL

I hadn't really managed to finish my snow maps for April, as I decided to start working on this project first, which as usual grew a lot bigger than planned, and I've decided to post most of the content for the maps in the APRIL folder. Starting next week I'll be working on building all my interior maps, my buildings maps that will be part of a fully interactive village I have planned. You'll see maps popping up in the MAY folder for that instead.

TUTORIALS

As you might have noticed from the video on top of this post, I also made 2 tutorials on building your own map with my new isometric style, as it does require some introduction on what tools are being used, and one for the adventure, for which I'll make a separate post!

I think that about sums it up!

Making an isometric Fantasy Map with DungeonDraft (Part One)

This video is part one of my two-part series on creating an interactive - animated - isometric fantasy map using tools like DungeonDraft and FoundryVTT. Part one is all about building the isometric map in DungeonDraft with my custom assets: I've been wanting to find a way to convert my isometric maps, my region maps, in particular, to mapmaking software like Wonderdraft. The issue being that I'm always so swamped that I knew it would be difficult to find the time to figure how it works exactly (how the brushes act, how to upload textures, how to package them, etc). That is why I decided to try and figure out how I could make the tools of a piece of software I'm much more familiar with, DungeonDraft, work to achieve the same result. In this video, I showcase some of the solutions I came up with and try out the first build of my isometric art in DungeonDraft. There are so many more ideas I have for this tool, if only I had the time to test them all, but this one was a surefire success in my books.
