About Dungeons?
I got this for a short Time and well.... i have to say this is absolut amazing !

Would love to see something like a Update where you can make actual Dungeons with this - like Darkout or scribble Zones that you can shape like the Tree generation so you can do Underground Maps with it
(Possible if you do Mountains with a bit shadow handling but not authentic the same way.
Love the Programmer of this, make it big!)

Hi!

Glad you like my work! Thanks for your feedback!

A "dungeon feature" was also suggested and discussed on my discord. It's on my todo list.

At the moment people use the ground plots with activated cliffs to create inner mountain views / dungeons. :)

Best regards
Hannes

While it would be lovely, there are also... lots. Lots and lots and LOTS of other tools that can do dungeons.

Almost none of them do customizable towns, or farm fields, or forests, or lakesides, or swamps, or castles-without-90-degree-angles-on-top-of-a-hill, or any of the other stuff that Canvas of Kings does well or could easily be extended to do well, and certainly not at the same scales.

It would be nice to have, but it's not a feature I'm particularly hoping for, if that makes sense?

Hi, thank you very much for your honest feedback! You're right, there are already a lot of tools that can do it very well.

The wish I often hear is to be able to combine everything on one map, in one tool (some actually like the minimalistic art style). So I think I can understand why people would also like to build dungeons or caves directly in Canvas of Kings.

The rudimentary and simple idea at the moment is that there is a separate layer for dungeons on the map. Building dungeons is a bit like building a forest with the plot tool. Only with a little more cave-like walls and combination functions (maybe like water). You can switch back and forth between levels at any time. I think I can adapt a few existing functions.

But there is actually no time frame for it yet. There are still many other things to do.

Best regards
Hannes
