Create your own Ghibli style Battlemaps with DungeonDraft

[@Nova670]

Excellent stuff, I'm hoping that you'll release more roofs as well to encourage more buildings maps to complement these new updates

[@CrossheadStudios]

Yes thanks for reminding me! I'm working on this next! Doing castles with roofs included

[@acnHaze]

Glad I found you and your works, what a gem. Easily the best asset creator for DungeonDraft I've seen. High quality, clearly thought out and comes complete with full tutorials like this. I wish I was running a campaign that could make use of them. Any chance there will be some modern assets released in the future?

[@CrossheadStudios]

Hey Haze! I'd definitely love to create some modern assets in the future. I have some in mind for a project I'd like to work on, but there is a bit of large list I'm working on, so it might be a very small set to start with. Like I did one for giants recently

[@momentumgj6824]

This is amazing, thank you for your great work!

What Asset Packs are you using in this video? Also I definitely appreciate these tutorial videos , they are perfect for learning how to properly use the Software,

[@joshbarron8961]

Would like to see a video on how to make caves in Dungeondraft with your assets. There still isn't a way to blast open a dungeon room into a cave easily whereas DD uses its own assets to automatically do this. Any tips on how to make this work with your assets?

[@CrossheadStudios]

I believe in one of its latest updates you can actually select paths and patterns to create your custom caves now, meaning you can use mine too. I haven't checked it out myself because I don't use those types of tools where I'm bound by the tool setting walls for me.

That's very cool! I think you forgot to put some footage in the last one and a half minute, though x) Where can we find some info about the contest?

[@CrossheadStudios]

Haha I should edit that I think it must have slipped through with an audio fragment that got deleted. You can find info on the contest on my website www.crossheadstudios.com/dungeondraft and I also have a 250$ contest for patrons with the same content

[@Moulk]

@@CrossheadStudios Thanks! I went quickly on your website earlier, I didn't see anything about the contest, but I probably didn't look correctly!

[@CrossheadStudios]

@@Moulk that's my bad as well, I didn't take the time to really think through how to advertise it correctly, I should work on it some more!

[@Moulk]

@@CrossheadStudios Nah that's my fault. I followed your link and I can say that for some reason, I was totally blind the first time, since the contest thing is kinda big in the page x) I'm very curious to see what I'll come up with these assets! I see in the rules we should use "mainly" this pack, so I guess it's okay to have some third party shadow pack or overlays, as long as your assets are the main focus of the map?

[@CrossheadStudios]

@@Moulk haha that's exactly what that phrasing was meant for! I often get the question about shadows for contests and since I don't offer them myself I feel it would be silly to have people forego them or be forced to do it in other software. With similar end results probably

[@jamesmahnke1431]

How do you display the paths like that? When you show the path tool, the preview image is much larger than what mine looks like in dungeondraft.

[@CrossheadStudios]

Have you downloaded the latest updates? I believe mine got larger in an update. I have wanted to find controls for them myself, for the menus as well but have only seen it get bigger in an update...

[@jamesmahnke1431]

@@CrossheadStudios I had totally forgotten I needed to update it ever. That is embarrassing. I believe I've had the software for over a year and never updated

[@CrossheadStudios]

@@jamesmahnke1431 oh you're going to love all the updates in that case! So much has changed over the past year...
