Dungeonographer Map Symbols Expand

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

We continue to preview new map icons & graphics for our Patreon project which will expand the graphics available for our software tools Hexographer, Dungeonographer, Cityographer, and the Coat of Arms Design Studio.  To show you what you’ll get, we’re releasing samples of a couple of icons for each set. The set will have 15+ icons for Hexographer, 15+ for Dungeonographer, 15+ for Cityographer and 15+ for the Coat of Arms Design Studio. Plus, some icons can be used in multiple tools. Support the project for as little as $1.50!

Based on a survey of the project’s backers, for Dungeonographer we’ll have more monster tokens, ground tiles/textures, and medieval furniture.  Each of these options got a substantial amount of interest in our survey. Modern and futuristic furniture received fewer votes, so we’ll hold off on that.  One comment was a request for more rubble piles and destroyed door, so we’ll plan for those specifically.

Now for the previews:
