Just to replace a grid is relatively easy, but I expect all sorts of glitches with neighboring cells sharing not a whole edge, but only a vertex. I'll check.
Love using this generator for worldbuilding. Thank you for all that you create!
Would it be possible to have an option to turn off the skulls? They really stand out as something you have to interprit one way, as opposed to just having a town or a ruin.
Skulls are supposed to represent very diverse "dangerous places" - either dangerous for those who visit them (dungeons, abandoned temples etc) or dangerous as sources of threat to surrounding lands (fortresses, portals etc). I will consider adding an option to hide them. Any ideas for an alternative symbol to denote such places are welcome!
I think the skull is a good icon to represent that. Having the ability to hide the skull or change the icon to one of the existing ones would be cool.
As a stretch, allowing for custom icons would let people add whatever they want. Would be really cool to change all the icons, like the trees and mountains. I would think it would only involve exposing the icon being used and allowing the user to change it, leaving the generation logic untouched.
For me I’d be happy with the Skull being replaced by a Dungeon, Temple, Fortress or Ruin if that’s what it is meant to represent.
I like to use this tool to quickly generate a world map, and for me the Skull is too “pirate-y”. I’d love it if the maps had the options for just castles and towns and other sites like that.
Feature request: 2 modes to “toggle legend”. The first mode clears only the text legends. The second mode clears the text and the number marks.
The numbers are very useful.
So the first mode would be just numbers, right? Wouldn't it be easier to number features you need by hand? The generator doesn't mark all the features on map anyway, only some of them (the most interesting ones for "an imaginary cartographer").
I love this! Fun to play with and great features. My only complaint is that this would be easier to work with if there was an options menu in addition to the keybindings and export feature.
A really nice little tool! Is there any way to display the names of the elements on the map so they can be included on the exported file, like with your One-Page Dungeon Generator?
The new options are great. My 11 year old son has exported 'his island' into procreate and is now colouring it and making stories for our family campaign.
...Still, there are some things I am definitely going to implement: ...Generated lands don't have to be islands. I'd like to be able to generate coasts of large continents or even inland regions.
This is wonderful. You've pretty much covered all the mapping I will ever need now. The aesthetic is just lovely. Simple clean lines with all relevant information. If you are taking requests I would love you to work more on this. :-)
Beautiful. Any plans to allow editing? Perhaps exporting to Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator? I'd love to be able to make maps that look like this, in there. :-)
Editors are not my thing, but in this case it wouldn't be too hard to add some editing capabilities. So the idea is not completely off the table. I'm afraid Azgaar's maps are too different in scale and level of detail to import them adequately.

Hello and thank you so much for this awesome tool! Any chance to get also a squared grid?
Thanks again

Thank you so much!
have you added the coastline feature you mentioned working on. a way to make coastlines. you said it was in the works.
This will be added in the next update of the generator.
ok
A great easy to use region generator. Looking forward to more updates.

You mean like a coastal region of a continent? This will be added in the next update.
yes, thank you.

Right click anywhere on the generator to access the menu.
Tags are a great way to edit this.
I love these maps and there are a lot of nice options.
This is really neat - any chance you could add an option to have the hex's be numbered?

I hope this will be implemented in the next update. Currently there are two problems with it:
No worries, I just wasn't sure if I was missing an existing option to toggle them on or off, but if that's still being worked on then fair enough.
Wonderful!
The new options are great. My 11 year old son has exported 'his island' into procreate and is now colouring it and making stories for our family campaign.
Great job as always.

Any chance there'd be an update to generate the same style regions with less water, perhaps just a section of coastline?
Yes:

Very sweet :)
Amazing!
Amazing work, as always! Hat off.
How do you download the resulting map?
Currently the only option is to take a screenshot. In the next update hi-res PNG export will be added.
Thank you
Right click then click save image....It saves it as a PNG image.
Nope
It does for me
Now it is possible to download a hi-res map by pressing E (click anywhere on the map first).
Awesome, thank you!
Can you add an option to align the grid north/south or east/west? Instead of defaulting to cockeyed?
Will do. I case you are wondering why these maps are tilted: link.
Right on. Thanks for working on this!
Lovely. Could you add a third mode to the hex alignment so we can have vertical hexes, not just horizontal hexes (and tilted hexes)?
Added to my todo list👍
Hello Watabou.
Is there a way to change the Legend Names of Districts?
I understand that you can make and place your own Landmarks (and edit them), but I can't figure out how to change the Districts.
Thank you for this amazing generator.
Best regards
Is it possible to use the results commercially?
Yes, added a note about it to the description.
Anyway to have the grid cover the whole map?
Will be implemented in the next update
Nice! :D
That's great!!! I love the effort on enabling the style options!
So cool man! I love it!
I love it! Great simple black and white line art! Please make a download image option!
This is wonderful. You've pretty much covered all the mapping I will ever need now. The aesthetic is just lovely. Simple clean lines with all relevant information. If you are taking requests I would love you to work more on this. :-)
Noted :)
your generators are very cool!
You rock, plain and simple.
Amazing, beautiful work, as usual!

Really nice - lovely and simple
you might aswell make a plot and quest generator lol. but seriously keep up the great work
you're literally keeping all of my campaigns together at this point watabou. i will die for you
Aye, watabou you have my sword and my life too
Really Cool!
This is really cool! I'll be able to use this for worldbuilding like a lot of your other generators. Thanks for the great generators!
Amazing, thank you for this!
Awesome work. Any chance to have hex grid over the entire landmass?
This is something that im interested to :D
Sure, will do
awesome as usual! thank you watabou
Looks like this could create entire worlds. I wish you could make bigger maps and zoom around, but I already love it as it is.
Amazing as always watabou! Your generators have probably invaded a thousand tabletops at this point and I can't say I'm upset
