Hi everyone,

Last month we published a few Blade Runner-inspired maps, and the planned Bloodsports Arena map was switched to a bazaar map. We also did some polls to narrow down our focus and get confirmation of some planned ideas.

PNG asset and Foundry VTT module updates have been delayed and coming as soon as possible.

March Releases

As you might have noticed, these maps did not include Dungeondraft files, as they were done with Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. However, this was an experiment we wanted to try. After evaluating the results, we decided to continue using Dungeondraft and focus more on creating better-quality custom assets.  

Cyberpunk, Hard Sci-Fi and Magic

The results of this poll were pretty clear, and we will respect the results. We will focus on Cyberpunk-themed maps and other closely related near-future content.

We might do an occasional variant for a map with some paranormal or magical twists or a space-themed map every now and then (Like the Sub-orbital Shuttle, for example).

In case you are interested in science fiction maps, I recommend taking a look at what my sci-fi map Patreon has to offer.

Encounter Maps & Mission Maps

Another poll considered possible interest in simpler and possibly modular Encounter Maps.

These differ from our current maps (a.k.a. Mission Maps) in a few ways. The Mission Maps are more detailed and usually contain some background information or NPC ideas. They are also typically larger and self-contained maps that can fit a role-playing or action scene or even a whole game session.

Encounter Maps, on the other hand, are designed with versatility in mind. They are more generic, have minimal props, if any, and are usually also smaller, typically around 16x11 (or two pages side-by-side).

As releases, Encounter Maps will be simpler and collected on a single post. These will likely be bonus content available to higher tiers. Once this is decided, I'll make a separate announcement of possible tier reward changes.

At the moment, the first Encounter Maps are planned for May.

Current mission: Underwater Station

Currently, we are working on some Mission Maps set on an underwater station and working our way down from the surface. The first map will be a surface helipad platform with two levels.

The Third Map

From there, we will dive deeper into the actual underwater station.

We have a third map in plans to bring some variety to this month's releases. Something other than the underwater station, and we would like to ask you what this map would be.

Please, vote for a map you would like to see as the third release this month by the 20th of April.

Thanks!
