WIP - The Lost Forge of Dumathoin

[Bogie]

And absolutely good point with the doors. To be honest I never even thought of the dimensions of those for some reason? I guess they're more representative than actuals (old school rpg mapping coming out)Ra.

Ah yes, the old blue & white maps, I hadn't thought of that.

Indeed!

Since I only picked up GIMP in September, it's all new to me - I've been used to graph / blank paper and sketching quick and dirty maps for ages so overlook the 'realism' a bit here and there. I'll certainly keep it in mind for other maps I create though.

Looks good RaNaketh, I'm still really liking that lava.

Thanks Kacey. It's probably my favourite bit too, and was the result of lots of looking at actual lava images whilst crafting it on an entirely blank layer in GIMP. Possibly a bit domineering colour wise for the map, but fun to make anyway!

[damonjynx]

Very nice.

[RaNaketh]

Very nice.

Thanks damonjynx, hopefully it's playable as a stand-alone map, or adventure drop in hook.

My one and only critique, which is more a personal preference, would be for the grid to sit below the other objects in the dungeon, so you don't have grid lines passing through 'solid' objects such as the benches and vats etc.

How/where did you get the furnishings, monsters and what not? They're really good. The pincers are a nice touch.

Thanks for noticing, I'd missed that! I had my grid layer too high. Easily fixed with a quick shuffle down, and export.

All credit to Bogie for most of the pre-made items. Search for Bogie's mapping objects and you'll probably find them easily enough. The pincers, and forge items I mostly created myself since he didn't have pre-made objects in his bundle of PNGs.

Ra.

So a question: How do you change the Thread title to so it reads 'Complete', rather than WIP, and also change the Icon to MAP?

[Falconius]

You can't edit thread titles, only mods can. Mostly people just post a finished map in the "Finished Maps" section, and some people (though it is uncommon) post a link to it in the WIP.
