Congrats!

I recently heard that Steam Greenlight is going away, though.

[Hidden Asbestos]

Thanks!

Yeah it is going away in a few weeks, I think - but right now Greenlight is the only option to get on Steam so I'm going with it until we're told more about Steam Direct. Fingers crossed!

Hooray, Greenlight was successful! Thanks for the votes everyone.

Thanks to everyone who has supported this project over the past four years!

Here's v4.0.5: http://gridcartographer.com/download/

This is mostly bug fixes as I want to stick to a one-month release cycle. The bulk of the work has been behind the scenes making the file selectors handle multiple file formats, not very exciting at the moment but it opens the door for future work.

v4.0.6 free update is now available for all platforms: http://gridcartographer.com/download/

Key new features are:
* Custom tile groups - select multiple with CTRL and right click > New Group.
* Merge files / Export single regions.
* Hide tabs on region bar with new right-click menu
(very useful to reduce clutter in the 'Might and Magic' series, etc.)

- enjoy!
