Release 0.0.6
by Peter JewiczWe’re pleased to announce that our latest release is now live and available for all users. While this release took a little longer than expected, we think it’s worth the wait and lays the foundation for lots of future improvement. In particular, it integrates our existing Dungeon Maker mobile app into Worlds Crafter allowing users to create great looking dungeon maps easier.
Dungeon Maker Integration
Version 0.0.6 brings with it integration with our Dungeon Maker app. You’ll find a new tab in the sidebar menu that opens the new dungeon maker controls.
Here, you’ll be able to add, edit, and delete your dungeons. The controls work very similar to the mobile app, although we have some ideas to help make this easier for desktop users.
The current version basically takes a cut of the dungeon maker app in its current state, so it supports all the existing features. This includes drawing maps with various tiles, as well as placing things like loot, doors, monsters and more.
This should help in planning sessions by giving users one more tool to plan an important part of many role playing games. While we admit the make is fairly simple now, it’s still quite powerful for planning and will only become more so.
Future Improvements
As with many of our features we have lots of long term plans for improvements. Many of these have been suggested on the app itself, and we plan to keep both synced with new features. A few we have on our backlog include:
- Add layers to make building complex maps easier
- More tile types including ground and object placements
- Transitions between different maps
- Custom imports of tilesets
These are just a few items, and in the coming months we hope to rapidly improve the functionality to make it even more valuable in your planning sessions.
Outside of this, we’ve added a few bug fixes that should hopefully make using the app easier and better than before. If you notice any issues please reach out through our support email or submit the help form located in the app.
That’s all for this update, stay tuned as we plan to drop our next one within the next week. Until then, cheers from the Worlds Crafter team!
