Dungeon Alchemist

I wish there was an okay button. Its right there on being an amazing asset but it just falls short. Lets you create the map and quickly but doesnt have features to just play in the app itself. Goes in first person and thats it. no ability to host a game and have the players have a fog of war or anything. its like all these dnd apps out here. just shy of being perfect. You can export the map you make and it is fast to make but the only way I found how to play with fog of war and a 3d map is by paying another 50 bucks for another app called Foundry to export the map you make here. So it just feels incomplete. sorry for the negative review but its just how it is.

I love doing larger field battles with lots of terrain and changing factors each turn. Dungeon Alchemist is good for those closer encounters and such, but it's missing what I love most. I'm returning the game for now, but hopefully they expand the space you can work on and build with.

I was fooled by the large amount of assets on the workshop. After purchasing it, I discovered they were almost unusable. I wanted to use it for maps in modern or sci-fi settings, but I find myself with software that's useless to me. If you don't use the standard assets, you can't create rooms or environments with AI. Maps must be built by placing each individual piece at a time. To make the floor of a room, you have to place each individual tile by hand. The same goes for the walls. And the fact that collisions aren't recognized for edges and you have to reselect the assets every time doesn't make things any easier. In short, the assets from the workshop modders were inserted half-heartedly and purely for marketing purposes. If you don't want to use the basic assets (i.e., only fantasy settings), don't buy it; you won't use it.

Muy buen sistema, bastante depurado, hecho de menos algunos detalles, pero solventable Mi uso es para pasar a Foundry VTT y funciona justo para lo que lo necesito Por poner algun pero: no está muy enfocado a diferentes tematicas (si tuviera contemporaneo y ci-fi seria 10/10) En si la comunidad hace mucho más grande este titulo de creación de escenarios, sin ellos no seria lo mismo

I've used a myriad of Map making engines and software from Inkarnate, Multiverse Designer, Chronos Builder, In-game screenshots and Unreal engine itself to make maps. I saw this on sale and decided to try it out, it had the same vibes as Chronos Builder that came out a few years back. Weirdly, it's much more clunky, the autogeneration is just as terrible too as the Chronos button was and requires a lot of manual manipulation to get assets correct. I suppose one the saving graces is the asset collection and map sharing content. I browsed around and saw a lot of effort placed into maps and assets that are shareable and uploadable. Another saving grace is the exporting allows for higher resolution and map sizes for Foundry VTT than Chronos Builder did. The ability to upload assets was interesting as well, I haven't uploaded anything as of yet as my assets aren't my own (procured from unreal free market or blender). So that's something to keep in mind for future updates in reviews. Overall, for Fantasy TTRPGs this will fit well. For Cyberpunk RED or Lancer this is lacking tremendously as assets aren't all there yet. So as usual, in-game screenshots with a mix of Inkarnate and Unreal engine and Multiverse Designer will be my go to for Cyberpunk. I will continue to use this as it gets updated on occasion and I will update my review accordingly. It is clunky and requires a lot of editing/erasing. There needs to be a clear option to allow users to just edit blank rooms and insert their own ideas into the maps instead.

It is the greatest software I have used. The levels for buildings has taken all of my maps into the 3 dimensional space and that is the most incredible experience I have had. All of my players gawk at how beautiful the maps are. And it isn't just fantasy elements I have made modern buildings for my Mutants and masterminds campaign. I am so glad that the team behind it cares about the product they create!

I never write negative reviews, but this software is SO frustrating! Aside from the needlessly restrictive functionality, it crashes constantly, fails to autosave, and brings every creative flow to a grinding, bitterly disappointing halt. Plays merry havoc with my ADHD and is just so disappointingly short of what it could be.
