I think this is a great tool for mapping old CRPGs and even has some particularly nice game link features in that regard, but for the purposes of creating your own TTRPG map I'd say it is very decent and can produce nice-looking maps with very little effort, but it is also missing a couple of features. Most notably, despite scouring the interface and searching online I can't find any way to make circular rooms beyond a certain size, which seems like a big thing to be missing when even free browser-based mapping tools often have that. I think that and lack of variable size options for things like brushes and markers are the main things I'd appreciate in future updates (if there's any more coming). More markers would also be nice but more options for non-blocky rooms is really the main thing holding this program back in my opinion.

An incredibly useful tool if you like to play old crpg's (you know who you are). Also very hand for designing maps if you make games yourself.
