Sure it's not perfect, and it is not as well supported as it used to be - but after a little bit of setting up I can make both world and dungeon maps very quickly that look pretty good. It is also easy to give such a map your own distinct style - so unlike some programs not all maps made with it look the same.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011974487836242987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-48658143267175294372016-04-19T11:13:22.102-04:002016-04-19T11:13:22.102-04:00I agree on CC (have CC2 and CC3) and am in on the ...I agree on CC (have CC2 and CC3) and am in on the KS for both Worldspinner and Other World Mapper. FYI to those comparing the two... not the same niche. Yes both can technically make a world map, but Worldspinner is as much about writing world history as making a map. If you really want to do maps, OWM is the choice to look at. Just remember its still a beta. Pretty good shape for a beta but still beta.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927177058962240468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-56099665458759254442016-04-19T10:52:59.519-04:002016-04-19T10:52:59.519-04:00Now we are talking!

Your retirement kicks ass.<br /><br />That said I would like to add two things to what you said. <br /><br />1. It is great without having the weird CAD elements of CC3. I own CC3+ and, besides adobe creative cloud software, it is the only software which confused me to the point of hour long tutorial videos. Until one of our OSR types produced newer ones last year specific to blue maps and old-school dungeons was I able to sit in front of it for passable maps. I admittedly do have not the 100s (1000s?) of dollars in design elements or expansions but they were ugly. They were also to scale and that is what I needed at the time.<br /><br />2) On the other hand other worldmappers outdoor map interface was a breeze in comparison. In 30 mins I was able to make something I wouldn't be embarrassed to send to a cartographer as the start point for a paid map commission. It was actually fun enough to be distracting (which is why I haven't used it since :) ).<br /><br />As I understand it is all vectors that get there own layer which is easily selected. This makes rivers, coastlines and cavern walls easy and quickly editable without worrying about layers or refreshing the map for updates.<br /><br />I was in on the KS and had not paid much attention to the updates so this was a pleasant surprise. <br /><br />Zach<br /><br />PS- I think the official Frog call sign I use is Lesser Frog ;).
