Perilous Shores

I have a map with a layout that I like, but would like add some patchy trees in a large open grass lands.  Is there the potential to allow placing of trees similar to how you can place dangers or towns? Im not talking about painting a whole map, just tweaking the terrain.  Love the style, btw.

Hi, I'm working on a generative RPG scenario tool that would create lore snippets/narrative arcs based on the users world database for my masters degree. Is there a chance of implementing your map generator in this project? 

How can i print

Hey! I've been using your generators for fun for quite a while, but recently I actually created and published a little thing, using Perilous Shores as a base: https://teorocco.itch.io/weaver-island

Thank you for making all these generators, they're incredible for inspiration and so much more :D

is it possible to save the map generated and open it back up exactly as it was similar to the other generators (town/village) would love to see this as a feature so i can then click through and generate the towns and villages from it as i go, currently each time i try and open the url i have saved it renames everything differently

Two "nits" that should be easy to fix: Avoid overlapping labels and use proper English title capitalization rules ("Zigurrat of the Raven Knight" not "Zigurrat Of The Raven Knight".)

Had to share... Definitely someone's vassal state. 

Is this an easter egg for us or generator with an attitude lol

Thank you for this amazing tool.

Are you planning on making an import/export JSON for the maps so we can edit a map with new stuff as needed? 

It's a great tool. Would love to know if there is an opportunity or offer the tool. 

Is it possible to make two adjacent maps. So that they can seamlessly connect? That would solve some of the issues from the comments about map size. 

Thank you very much for such a tool anyway.

This is utterly perfect for DCC, a game that is supposed to take place in a small region, where your characters have never been far from home and the hills at the edge of the village have a mystery over them. this is incredible and i use it often. thank you for sharing this with us.

Simple briliant, but ive got one problem...

For me, i need just a simple Europe map, but in a rockstar games way, fictional cities, lands, only based on Europe in basic shape. Is this possible to you? =) 

This is cool, but personally feels too limited on size. Is there a way to make this big enough to be a full on continent? Settlements and the like feel too sparse and far apart, even with the civilized tag. Otherwise, really cool!

1) What does 'almanac' in the app mean? Like there is an option to remove it from Almanac.

2) Is it possible to undo a change? I tried out changing vantage and it ended up moving some POI and location names to different areas, eg. from a forest to the mountains etc. No way to revert back. Same with messing around with other settings like style, it causes the names to be rerolled.  Which sounds like a bug more than a feature. 

3) When you use the Permalink option, why does the POI names change when it is viewed on the browser? Is there a way to stop that?

4) It would be nice if we could save ones we like, so we can further tweak them in the future. 

Love this so much, amazing amazing work. However, I have a suggestion: it would be awesome to individually edit each generated "biome". For example, what I am trying to do is create a summer and winter map, so I'd like to change a "light" forest (deciduous) to "dead" for a winter map, but keep the "dark" forest (evergreen/pine) as is. Or, delete/add individual elements. 

Love your work @watabou. 
Do you think is there any way where we can export this as HTML or other web-friendly formats? Thanks.

I thought I'd let you know that this generator is PERFECT for adding more depth to the very simple story-telling RPG games I play with my  6yr old daughter. Earlier in the year we discovered Amazing Tales, which to a non-TTRPG player like myself, was a simple guide on how to make up a great story and game interactively with your kid. Like any game, sometimes they want a little more, and that's where Perilous Shores and the Village Generator come in. In the narrative, I had us go off to an offshore island (that was on a handdrawn map we had been using), then pulled out a printed copy of an island I'd generated using this. She loved it, in fact I had to print another copy for her to colour in as we played. The villages I'd all generated & printed too, and we added details to them by hand. It's fantastic.

I'm having a lot of trouble with "orphan" road segments I can't get rid of: little loops of road that extend off the map at both ends and don't seem to be linked to any town. Known issue?

I just found it, and instantly felt in love with this. Awesome!

Do you plan to have a dynamic version of it ? Like the starting point is revealed and the world is more open, so you can extend it more and more ?

Also maybe an API ?

I am making a game (experimental project) where the heroes could navigate on the map / dungeon and would be awesome to use this generation on the UI.

~Bug: The shadows option is crashing your app.~

Upd: It is not the shadow option which is bugged, if you do many changes it crashes, I guess memory leak somewhere

I appreciate the work and effort that you have put into this amazing resource. I was wondering if there is a way to modify the names of different items in the generator. If so, that would be incredible, if not, I understand. Thank you so much for your time and continued support of this amazing product.

Thanks a lot. Everything you do rocks. I played Pixel Dungeon for years! The last 2 years i started playing rpg with my family on a region i made with this generator and the dungeon one. Its awesome! You are awesome!  Thanks for everything!

Hi! 

I love using this but one issue I have is that if I create a map, bookmark it and then come back to make a tweak after a dev update the map is changed.

I would love to be able to download the generator so I can work with one version over time and avoid the above problem.

Keep up the awesome work.

Suggestion: continue map option - which creates another map continuous with the previously generated map. Great work (obviously :)!)

Hi watabou, I love your generators, and Perilous Shores is one of my favorites. You've got the composition dialed in so well, they look great (better than what I do by hand, honestly, which hurts a little). I use PS when I need a new map for a region.

I've started a project where I've got a good sense of what the land shape looks like, but I want to be able to use PS to fill in the detail (mine tend to be too busy). Is there any chance you could add a 'rotation' option, so the user can rotate the output (90 degree increments or by an arbitrary amount) and redraw so the icons and labels are still okay? I've tried doing it by hand and there's a lot of adjustment needed, but I have the sense that 'figuring out landscape' and 'placing and rendering icons' are two distinct stages and might be able to handle it more gracefully than I can manually.

Hello, really a great job here! (As well as the other generators!) Just a question on the level of customization: if I made up a setting with some rules for the generation of an area, would it be possible to see in the next future this generator with these options customizable? I am ref mainly on the population density and the villages number and distance... thanks a lot and keep on improving these wonderful tools!!!

Is it possible to combine this beautiful generator with Azgaars Fantasy Map generator - as it is possible to combine the city generator?
It would be great to create detailed maps from Azgaars here - also ok if it would be possible to "paint" the region here to make it fit to the existing map from Azgaar. A random region will quite sure not fit to something existing there :-(

Or is it maybe planned that an import of a svg file is possible?

When i save permalink and open it again it doesn't save any of the things ive changed and it totally resets the map any way to fix this?

is there a way to change the title of the map? And will there be an option to model the map, like choose mountains here, forest there etc,

How do you make all the names and details of towns appear for a static image?

One suggestion: it would be nice to be able to turn off display of dungeons and other mysterious places so as to generate a player map without them.

Wonderful generators you keep coming up with and improving!

its not working for me only the names pop up and the compass spins but thats it : (

Just wondering, is there a way to place/remove dungeons? I know you can do it with towns, but I can't figure out a way to do it with dungeons.

This is so magnificent!!!  One request - could you stockpile JSON files with different color schemes.  The maps really pop when you tweak the color in different ways!

It refuses to work at all if a VPN is on. I just tested it. Only started working when I turned it off.

For some reason, I cannot download in PNG format from this specific map creator.  Does anyone else have that problem?
