Kind of Cool

[Noob Saibot 38]

So I was looking for a fictional map generator on the net and found this site that sells a verity of products that can help you create fictional maps (color, black and white). From world maps, cities, dungeons, etc. Now of course sadly it is not FREE; in fact if you bought their WORLD Package it would cost you $600+. ANy way thought I would share the link...oh and you can even create fictional maps that work kind of like Google maps does:

I plan on spending the $600+ because this will help in my world building for my novels.

If money wasn't a factor, I would look into it

[rgangsta 43]

That's a real hefty price. It does look like good, though.

[Noob Saibot 38]

Well they sell them individualy ranging from $100 to $35 (USD). So if you added them up $600+ is a nice deal...if you had the money.

600 $!!! thats alot no way i can buy that, seems gud though maybe u could post if u find some free ones

[rgangsta 43]

lol I'd rather buy them separately. I didn't do the math but it might come out cheaper.

Well I did, it come to like $800+ so you could save $200.

 

Also I watched some of their tutorials, looks easy. I bet you could even make a huge map, export it as an image and the manually make it a tileset.

$800?! :shok: Though, Making the pictures as tilesets would be useful, especially since I'm working on a world map.

Yes, around $800, but that's if you buy their main software's and extra resource packs. I plan on getting it, but not to make tilesets. But who knows when I get it, maybe I'll take requests.

[rgangsta 43]

Cool. I could use some world maps for my games so the player can know his/her way around. :biggrin_002:

800?

 

It would take less amount of time and money to make it yourself...

Not everyone is a skilled at using a paint/photo editor.

[Agckuu_Coceg 5]

I would gladly take that, but for 600$? This is the same for our people a lot of money! Is there anything cheaper and with similar quality?

[rgangsta 43]

I'll do some Google searchin'.

[Noob Saibot 38]

I'll do some Google searchin'.

 

You find anything? I mostly found useless stuff.

[Noob Saibot 38]

I started buying this stuff. Will try it and post any maps I make. I mostly bought it to make black and white maps found in most Fantasy novels. I did this because it will give me a better idea on how to describe places, come up with all the name before I write (or in this case continue to). I decided to buy the following (may buy more, but for now this will do as I need it):

 

1) Campaign Cartographer 3 ( Main Software, required to buy)

2) City Designer 3 (add on)

3) Fantasy Overland ( http://www.profantasy.com/products/ss1.asp )

4) Fantasy Floor Plan ( http://www.profantasy.com/products/ss2.asp )

 

All of them cost me: $134.80 (USD)

What the...? Dude? Seriously? Don't post stuff like that...unless it's legal.

[Noob Saibot 38]

To be honest I'd rather pay because I get faster support when logged in on my account. Plus free updates and bug fixes which would be a lack of with a cracked version.

[Dark Den 4]

I never used bug fixes or anything even if i have the original versions.

The patches were mostly too big to download <_<
