Kickstarter - Dungeon Builder: An Isometric Map Maker for Role Players


I like maps. I like mapping. My freehand map skills suck. Therefore, I have a fondness for mapping programs.

I REALLY like what I see with Dungeon Builder.

Heck, there's even a usable demo for Win, OSX and Linux.

What more can I say? The sample map should speak for itself.

Buy in for a Personal License is $45.

If you want to be able to use it for commercial work, its about $302 for the Indie License and $604 for the Professional License. What's the difference? Indie has revenue of approximately $75k a year or less, professional has not revenue limit.

Tempted to get the Indie License but may just wait for release.

There are a ton of support levels between Personal and Indie. Feel free to ignore them.

You should watch the video. So much awesome :)

  3. While I think isometric dungeon maps are cool and pretty they serve limited use since the DM is the only person looking at the map most of the time.

  4. Looks nice. Seems a bit pricey when you can get Campaign Cartographer and the isomprphic add-ons for less without the profit restrictions, though.

  6. Looks impressive. Glad you shared it otherwise I would have missed it. I backed the Hexographer 2 kickstarter and this would make a good companion to that, I think. And yeah, it is a bit pricey but if it turns out to be as good as it looks then it is worth the price. It also looks to have a much better interface than Campaign Cartographer, but again, will have to see how the final product turns out.

  9. For those who though $45 was too pricey during the KS campaign, note that it now costs between 59 euros and 779 euros!

    Here's a MUCH cheaper alternative, currently on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/battlegrounds/isometric-map-making
    And it doesn't make ONLY isometric maps. It's also useful for battlemaps, hex-crawl maps, and editing Donjon-generated maps. Not to mention that it's full-color, not mostly B&W. Oh, and Alex Drummond's wonderful work will be made available for it, if the campaign funds.
