Pro tip (not really; I've been using Dungeon Alchemist for like 7 hours, haha): If you turn the "Collision" switch (in the upper-right of the menu) off , you can manually move pieces with a much finer level of precision -including being able to move them up and down, or rotate them without the "snap to grid" feature. This will allow you to do things like sticking your bridge pieces together so that they look pretty and contiguous. Also, the devs might have heard your suggestion! It's now possible to rotate objects before placing by using your scroll wheel on your mouse. Regarding scale: after you place an item, a set of frame corners appear around the object. You can drag these corners to resize the object to your liking - so, for example, you can adjust the trees in your orchard or your bridges to the size you like.

yeah. there's quite some improvements over the time. not currently using it but as soon as i DM again i'll have use for it i am sure.

This video made me realize the fact you can't take the "buildings" and rotate them is a big limit.. But da for me for now is the better map builder

How big can you make this? Could you make it many MANY times bigger if you wanted? Or do I need to make many maps of this size side by side?

@Meister_Murloc

Thats basically limited by your hardware. Better pc can handle bigger maps. I have no idea how big you can make this

So, they do not have a in game way to play this map with your players? You have to export it in top down mode and use it in foundry or roll20? It feels like a waste to have all this detail, first person mode, and stuff, just to be wasted on a top down view.

can i build a house with 2 floors?

Sadly no. What you can do is take an empty space and built both floors separately and move your players from one to the other.

Update: It *is* possible to make two-story buildings, but you can't use the app to automatically create and populate the second story; you have to place things like walls, pillars, floors and furniture by hand.

Hi. Yes you can, but unlike forge there is currently no direct export for that. You can still export your map and upload in roll20 normally

how to make a round or oval room?

@Meister_Murloc

Жыл бұрын

you sadly can't yet. you have to approximate it with squares. the map is meant to be exportable to foundry and thus isn't really compatible with round or oval shapes.

It's not a game but a map maker.. And considering it lets you make a map in such a small amount of time.. $45 is great.

i think it highly depends how much you get out of it. if you frequently have to make tabletop maps and want high quality, i recommend it. if you have no use for that save for some personal enjoyment, better wait for the next steam sale maybe :)

would be nice if you could actually play in it . Crappy to build this beautiful 3D environment just to have to print it out or use something like foundry, which is a bit better. Never understood why this wasn't an actual platform to play in. Oh wait I know, some corporate ass hat stomping his fists and feet yelling "my way! my way! my way!"
