I love metroidvanias and while developing my own game I created drafts of the map layout with pen and paper. I figured it be much easier to protoype the map digitally and thus Cartograph was born.
The application has a Mac and Windows version and includes the following features at launch:
Canvas & Navigation
- Infinite pan/zoom canvas with grid snapping
- Multiple grid presets (Square, Rectangle)
- Editing Tools
- Paint, Erase, Fill, and Eyedropper tools
- Room painting with auto-wall generation
- Walls and doors on cell edges
- Markers with custom icons
Organization
- Named rooms with metadata and tags
- Region groups for area organization
- Customizable tile palette
Project Management
- Welcome screen with project templates
- Recent projects with thumbnails
- Drag & drop project import
- Autosave with recovery
Export & Customization
- PNG export with configurable layers, transparency, and scale
- Full undo/redo history
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Dark and Light themes + Metroidvania Game Easter Eggs
Thank you for your support.
