Fantasy Maps for Fun and Glory

One of the nice things about writing about this stuff for a while is getting to check back in on projects and seeing how they’ve progressed.

Like this fantasy map generator, which I posted about nearly a year ago and has made some big strides since. The creator has a blog, talking about the ongoing development.

One of the things being added is the ability to edit the map elements, such as this river editor. Right now it’s a visual change, but I’m very interested in editors that loop back around into the generator and change in response to user input. It’s a really powerful way to collaborate with the machine.

As you can imagine, I’m planning on checking back in on this project again. I’m looking forward to finding out where it goes.
