Arcane Mapper

I recommend this software at it's current stage of development IF you want to create small scale projects, Arcane Mapper is perfect for intricate little rooms and nifty new designs but it's flaws outweigh its positives; - Creating too many vertex joints makes the ENTIRE room disappear - I have to individually move joints to move a room - The map bugs out over sizes of 50 and I cannot create rooms past that size (EDIT: Specifically you cannot create rooms bigger than 60 squares) - The layers system is down right confusing There are pros to this software as well, the textures are lovely, the dynamic lighting you can create is wonderful. All in all it doesn't feel good to use for large projects and that is it's biggest problem point for me

Although promising, development has stopped completely with no communication from the developer except a promise of a new build that never happened. If you like the look of it as-is, go for it, but expect no further development.

Regrettably this software appears to be abandoned by the developer. I spoke with them a number of times here on Steam. And it appears (at the time of writing this) that they haven't been online for over a year. I can't in good conscience suggest that someone buy this program. It's good for what it is, but it's a dead software with a very doubtful future.

Abandonware. Took the money and ran, leaving us with a good framework and broken promises.

Alright, so I am rewriting my review in total: As a DM with 20 years of table top experience (2/3rds of my life): This is a great project with a lot of promise. For $10.00, it's totall worth it. However, keep in mind the following: 1: The Library is limited to what you see in the video. That's in. Some wall tiles, some floor tiles, torches, a couple of crates, that's about it in total. Most of your library has to be self filled! You have to find, resize, make, and place your own tokens. It is VERY TEDIOUS! Right now I am cropping things I like from maps I find online to use as tokens for doors and stuff. 2: If you build too big of a map right now, it will freeze/crash. I'm at 100x100 and seem to be just fine. I was 300x300 and it was bogging down hard on my high end machine. 3: Textures and buildings are based on layers. If you grass over everything, you'll hide your buildings/rooms. I made that mistake. I hope to see much more out of this program, mostly an increased library (...

Had a lot of potential. Too bad it's dead.

Sadly I cannot recommend this product as it appears the developer has abandoned the project. It's been months without any communication or updates. The software is perfectly functional (with some crashes) for building interior dungeons but could have been so much more. Who knows, maybe the developer will appear again but I can't recommend buying it with no long term support plan or bug fixes.

Dead in the water. Don't bother.

I think this is a good software. However I face a terrible bug. I cannot press Render button. The windows are too large. Larger than my screen. This caused that "Export" , "Render" and "Import" buttons move out of my screen. I'll recommend this when you fix the bug.

This has a lot of potential - it does need to overcome some stability problems (I was able to crash it reliably in a very short time) but the draw & fill of the rooms and walls is quite good. The light source feature is good, and will make mapping less of a hassle. If money is tight and/or you're not a fan of early access titles, I would not purchase this as it is today but the product looks like it can be made better, so I want to send the author some support. I'm not going to put in for a refund - but it still has a fair way to go. At the moment, buyer beware. I didn't find (though I didn't look very long) a setting to remove the grid from the image - I'd love to see a gridless image setting.
