WIP - Unity maps

I'm trying to crack into the Unity editor and well... it goes quire alright as for my first couple of hours and 20 Youtube tutorials opened on the second screen. So far not bad, but I'm still trying to figure out why animations don't work... I completely don't get the error messages the tool gives me, lol! Anyway, I keep trying and I hope soon you'll get even more diverse maps animated and static ofc  :)

Stay healthy for I'm a bit knocked out after the vaccination ;)

Forest Cottage - animated/static [32x18]

Good news everyone! Coming with some brand new map. That was just a quick idea and I needed it also for my session.

Basically an ordinary cottage in the forest, some well and a cart, but watch out! - it's not the ordinary cottage when you set fire on it! 

Free for everyone:

How did you get to know about me?

Simple poll :)

Thank you

It has been almost a month since I launched this patreon and as I expressed that in earlier post the results overcame my expectation.

April was a quite unique journey, form a crazy thought that sparked all of this, through learning the stuff circulating around the Patreon page, social media and finally whole technical aspects of creating animated and static maps.

The crazy idea was just to show my talent to the wider audience and with one (yours!) support push it to the areas that...

Hey! How is it going?

So May maps are here! First one is the absolutely classic of classics encounter - a fight over the bridge. .. and some watermill down the road :)

Hope...

Ani-May-ted maps (and static ones too!)

A little trailer for the upcoming maps update :)

Well, I'm not a filmmaker but animated maps do require some editor skills. I have learned a lot during this month of mapmaking and used that skills to combine a video :)

The new maps are just around the corner!

What kind of map you want me to make?

Well I know this is rather basic question but it will really want this page work for YOU, dear patrons and followes. And it will help me to set a tone for the next weeks of map creating.

So think about your games, your needs for the maps, how would you like to expose your players to environment and tell me.

I added couple of options below, but feel free to post your own idea in the comments. Let's be frank - all of the kinds and types eventually be here - it's about which will go ...

Arcane Storm - Static boss encounter map

Hey! What's up?

Arcane Storm is here!!! Yay! The map I used as a "Boss room" for some final fight on the edge of the worlds, in astral or void and... woah, there's a storm roaming all around! Hah! Yes, there's a lot going on on this map for sure :)

As usual the map comes in a grid and no-grid versions.

Keep handy this link, for it will be packed with all the other maps in coming days! 

Stay safe!

May release is coming!

Hope you are all fine dear people. I'm going to make the updates more regularly, so definitely something will come as a new month. That doesn't mean the updates will be every month - small ones will happen more often :). Just want to keep it more predictable

So I hope I'll make it for the May, haha. Some of the maps are quite complete and my patrons were given some samples. But there is still much to do during the next 10 days.

What exactly is coming?

Lost Mine of Phandelver animated pack vol. 1

And it has finally arrived! Animated versions for LMoP!

I can see the learning curve working with all of the post-production things. This time I used Davinci Resolve tool much heavier, and that allowed me to add some cool stuff, like: better looking grid, night effects and loop the animations in more seamless way.

Ok, so what do we got here:

Lost Mine of Phandevler - Static maps release vol. 1

Whoa! That was an intense day!

I was pretty much surprised with such a loud reception of my Cragmaw Hideout on IG. Really, for pretty new account as mine, the reaction was really loud and positive. So I was like: hey, what about building all the maps for the starter set? Why not? 

And here we are. Coming with the fresh-fresh mappies I start a new thread of maps for LMoP and hopefully I will build them all :D 

Help yourself with the new maps. 

All have hi...

Boss Fight - Lava Pit (static w. logo)

Hey! What's up?

I started thinking how hard was for me to find a map for the final showdown of a chapter or a campaign. Those seem to be most vital moments of the whole RPG experience that should stay in my players' memory for a long time.

So here we go - I started a new series of maps dedicated solely to boss fights. 

Let me know if you like it!

Work in progress update!

Hey! Welcome to my WIP updates! 

So I decided to go more underground with my animated map creation and start building an actual dungeon! Or Caves.... 

I try to make it simple, yet interesting due to the variety of levels and platforms, the goblin tribe adapted for some lookouts and higher ground advantage (sorry Anakin ;< ) - yes the idea is those are goblin caves, but honestly you can put anything u like. Even sharks and tyrannosaurs to have it more epic
