Arcane Mapper

I recommend this software at it's current stage of development IF you want to create small scale projects, Arcane Mapper is perfect for intricate little rooms and nifty new designs but it's flaws outweigh its positives; - Creating too many vertex joints makes the ENTIRE room disappear - I have to individually move joints to move a room - The map bugs out over sizes of 50 and I cannot create rooms past that size (EDIT: Specifically you cannot create rooms bigger than 60 squares) - The layers system is down right confusing There are pros to this software as well, the textures are lovely, the dynamic lighting you can create is wonderful. All in all it doesn't feel good to use for large projects and that is it's biggest problem point for me

Although promising, development has stopped completely with no communication from the developer except a promise of a new build that never happened. If you like the look of it as-is, go for it, but expect no further development.

i realy, realy wanted to love this program. but the last game update was over half a year ago. and last contact with the develiper was aug 17th. steam says they were last listed as online 128 days ago. it would be a safe bet to say this program is dead. i canot recomend this product, and at this time, would recomend almost any other map making program then this.

Regrettably this software appears to be abandoned by the developer. I spoke with them a number of times here on Steam. And it appears (at the time of writing this) that they haven't been online for over a year. I can't in good conscience suggest that someone buy this program. It's good for what it is, but it's a dead software with a very doubtful future.

Abandonware. Took the money and ran, leaving us with a good framework and broken promises.

Alright, so I am rewriting my review in total: As a DM with 20 years of table top experience (2/3rds of my life): This is a great project with a lot of promise. For $10.00, it's totall worth it. However, keep in mind the following: 1: The Library is limited to what you see in the video. That's in. Some wall tiles, some floor tiles, torches, a couple of crates, that's about it in total. Most of your library has to be self filled! You have to find, resize, make, and place your own tokens. It is VERY TEDIOUS! Right now I am cropping things I like from maps I find online to use as tokens for doors and stuff. 2: If you build too big of a map right now, it will freeze/crash. I'm at 100x100 and seem to be just fine. I was 300x300 and it was bogging down hard on my high end machine. 3: Textures and buildings are based on layers. If you grass over everything, you'll hide your buildings/rooms. I made that mistake. I hope to see much more out of this program, mostly an increased library (Doors, Windows, Lamp Posts, etc) and an environmental level for like "All grass" or "All sand" or something like that to cover a large area. It has a long way to go, but the Devs also need funding to support the project. So, it's worth supporting a worthy tabletop/virtual tabletop cause.

Sadly I cannot recommend this product as it appears the developer has abandoned the project. It's been months without any communication or updates. The software is perfectly functional (with some crashes) for building interior dungeons but could have been so much more. Who knows, maybe the developer will appear again but I can't recommend buying it with no long term support plan or bug fixes.

Had a lot of potential. Too bad it's dead.

Dead in the water. Don't bother.

Why is this even for sale as Early Access, it's been abandoned, don't buy.
