Love the stuff here- really gets my creative juices going :D
I have a question though:
Is the hex grid using cube coordinates (and not offset) for its location ? I'm toying with the idea of making a fog overlay utility that I can use to reveal only hexes visible to a particular hex (it would reveal the current hex and a partial of any adjacent 6 hexes at a time).
Wonderful ! Then it won't require me to wrap my old head around that.....
May be able to get something done on my android phone. I've got a good dungeon generator I've made in a similar style that allows crawling and I would like a good overland ability to do the same. If I can import the map and its JSON for data I can put a mask over the whole thing, pick a start spot and crawl, exposing the mask as I move along and when I hit a dungeon I can generate it in my program. Might be a little overly optimistic, but it may be worth a shot :D
BTW since you've already got most of the terrain stuff down, why not make a skirmish map generator in the same style ? These are the best set of easy to use tools around.....
What size (in pixels) are the hexes you use and what is the line width (in pixels). I'm making it so that a click the map (im using the standard export PNG) can be converted into a hex coordinate ?
I'm not sure what being used in video games means, but:
You can use maps created by the generator as you like: copy, modify, include in your commercial rpg adventures etc. Attribution is appreciated, but not required. Please consider supporting this project on Patreon☕!
I can’t say how excited I am for JSON exports. I’ve had to make map builders for my sideprojects from scratch and they always felt worse than your procgen arcana.
It would be great to have a way to undo or a way to see what changes will completely change the map. I really like the idea of this, but after loosing 30min work becasue I didn't know a setting would majorly change things (hex type) it feels like I'm juggling live grenades!
this is the best generator on the planet, hands down, can i put in a request for dungeon icons? if not that is way ok, this thing is the best, am disabled but as soon as i have some extra cash i am going to throw you some to donate towards your work
Hey, I love your work! Can you perhaps share the brushes you are using for trees and mountains (just like the cities and dangers in "perilous icons") please, so that I can modify the maps generated by Perilous Shores in GIMP? I would love to do some further customization and tweaking.

I really like all your applications! What software do you use to make these?
Most (all?) of them are made in Haxe + OpenFL.

Keep up the good work !
No, it's using "offset coordinates" for two reasons:
Cheers!

What is a skirmish map? Is it the same as a battlemap? I personally don't use them, so I don't know what makes a good skirmish/battle map.
Yeah a simple battlemap- A road maybe, some trees, heights, maybe a field or two with a building etc etc. Can base it on the terrain in the overland hex possibilities. Bonus would be conforming it (more or less) to a hexgrid (like the overland). Very handy- I use a generator from another app I made to create these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lc6kZZr6ZIr2l2mGmNu0jeq7z3NUOdmI/view?usp=drive... and https://drive.google.com/file/d/12GyIy8vO5Qu07BDD4c8_dRuFWl_7d-Ly/view?usp=drive...
Isn't this close enough (with the grid on)?

Just wanted to share my appreciation for making these! I used your map generator to help prototype a top-down game idea.
Is this generator allowed to be used in video games? If so, can it be used commercially?
I'm not sure what being used in video games means, but:
I meant using a realm generated by the project, but thanks for the info.

I'll probably move these options somewhere else so they don't look purely visual or non-destructive...
That would be great thank you!
Sorry for leaving a comment when I was frustrated.
You've saved me well over 30min, and I really appreciate your work.

I'm not sure I understand your request :)

I'll consider this 👍
