Short> Moved to Unity. Raged like mad, made it stabilize, still hicups but what makes it worth it is a few things.
First things first regarding Unity: Do NOT run any, any extensions. Do this and you will have a much better game experience close to free from issues.
Now to the title>
What I love abouot Unity and the indie developers crating maps out there is a few map packs that I recommend anyone to buy.
No Im not affiliated with them but: The AAW Map pack with tile sets. medieval castles, Sewers, catacombs, there is also a desert map pack you can use the Night time tiles for artic or simply change the color of tiles from sand yellow day light to white snowy, works like a charm.
What makes those so nice is the inbuilt line of sight and the freedom of creativity.
Im terrible at these things and have little patience, but I..ME..MOI..was able to build large maps that would span 3-5 player sessions just to go through, in under 1 hour.
UNDER 1 hour i create maps that, I cant even buy. I have browsed endless maps, spent 10th of hours finding the right map, and the tile sets from AAW that unfourtenately only works within unity, blows them all out of the water. Yes it takes your time, your creativity, but when you have a few of them the combinations you can make, the beautiful art from these maps, the inbuilt Line of sight.
The players I been with have praised these and I cant be more pleased with a product.
Trust me, after I bought them I was "What the heck is this" and I went coyping .jpg pictures, saving to maps, bought even other map packs that lets be honest, 90% of the maps sold here in the store are mediocre at best, most are just bad with immense lack of creativity or artistic mind. SOme are beautiful art but again, those tile sets...get them, learn to use them.
After building 3 tile maps Im now able to build an entire dungeon in 30 minutes. Im loving it and is THE strongest sell point for me to run Unity right now, and its not Unity itself but those AAW Tile map packs.
I used the Medieval castle to create an entire dwarven settlement, and I used the Sand dune maps, changed color and made beautiful artic maps from them.
Just a recommendation from one DM to the other that want to really ensure you get the right athmosphere and is not afraid to put in an extra hour, often less, of work.
I just wish there was a way to share them since just the very first catacomb dunegon map I created, there is not even anywhere a map like that to buy, anywhere. Its that good.
Wonderful job on those boys.Strong S+ from me
