Dungeon Alchemist

This is a solid mapmaker and only continues to get better. I use DA for a home campaign where my maps are sized for a built in TV and also for a roll20 campaign. I don't know if I've seen a more active game dev on steam, they are constantly posting on social media and providing awesome updates to their game. Exporting to Roll20 and Foundry VTTs are smooth, animated maps are great in foundry! Lighting options are also amazing especially the abstract lights which you can hide, Fey and other mystical realms never looked so good. My only knock is the camera setting which is cool and useful but, it always looks weird when you can see the sky in a dungeon.

it hard to say yes or no to this. I need a lot added for example there is no way to break things. You can't put an object through a wall, there is no water block, lots of objects have no customization option like why not just let everything be a optional light source you can't play on the map so let me do things with it. IF i want a train ran through the wall of a building... can't. Broken bricks? nope. Layers of tiles to make a Platform? No. Use an item to make a platform and put stairs on it... not an option. It just weirdly limits the stuff it does give you. All the stairs (and most the doors) are almost invisible in a above head view. I find myself using very out of place options just for the above head view since you can't really see what the window looks like in it. I do like the room generation though i wish it gave me sliders for how much stuff to put in a room not just a do it or don't option, and the amount of rooms are very limited. Similar to others for a program that's been around for 4 years, and for the cost i thought there would be more improvement to it. If you want something quick and simple it can be great though. Since my review i have also noticed this has a lot of options that are just useless like you can go into a figure and explore the map form a POV that will never be used otherwise, or some of the stuff moves... how is that helpful in a map? I can't use this program to play on, its not a VTT so what is the point of a moving object in a stationary map where it won't move? And the default Export labeled as for Roll 20 creates a text doc that doesn't seem to upload to roll 20 so had to use other options to find one that was compatible? It a fun basic mapmaker, maybe a little over priced unless they update it
