MASSIVE CONTENT UPDATE! (+250$ Contest)
🕑 Added 2022-01-16 12:58:02 +0000 UTCHappy New Year one and all,
This update contains:
- 400+ Assets for Dungeondraft!
- 17 Modular 24x24 Battlemaps (with Night Variation for +$5 patrons)
- 4 Premade 48x48 Battlemaps that feature the modular maps
- Save Files for all these maps
- 12 Animated Tokens
- A Youtube Tutorial
& introducing a 250$ Prize Map Making Contest!
Sorry for the belated content update but this was a big one! As mentioned in my previous post I had actually finished a whole bunch of content already at the end of 2021, including about 200 assets for the artpack for Winner CalmRosie, lineart for tokens, and a couple of other designs. (A pack that has now grown to over 400 assets!)
The reason I delayed until now to release a lot of it is that I saw an opportunity with this latest update to really take this to the next level for my content. I had mainly been focusing on a lot of the Garden style content (flowers etc.) as requested by CalmRosie when I discovered a bunch of new techniques I had been working on and really wanted to explore them further. Including updating my water-based content for rivers and smaller streams. Something that has been highly requested in the past couple of months. I didn't just want to dump all this on you without proper explanation so I decided to put together a tutorial that goes over a lot of these new developments.
When I started testing out all this content (it required a lot of perfecting as I took it back and forth between Photoshop), I also decided to take the challenge of using this content up another level and try and build some Modular Maps with Dungeondraft as well. Resulting in 17 Modular Maps you can use to build any forest or river encounter on the fly. I had actually originally planned to do a double tutorial release with this content and go deeper into explaining how you can actually create your own modular maps as well. I do still plan on making this video, I just won't release it today but probably later next week (or in a couple of weeks at least).
TOKENS
I also have 30 tokens still in the pipeline, which were delayed a bit due to I still do all the coloring myself by hand so the linework is done, I just need a couple of days to finish them up and release them later this month. I plan on still releasing all 40 tokens (20 of December and 20 of January for this batch)
I do however have 12 animated tokens ready for release and you'll find those in the Animated Tokens folder for my Gold Dragons!
My next adventure is also almost finished and another one in the works, lots of things in the pipeline and I actually plan on pushing a bunch of things out this month before I get to making new content. (including my giant map assets and some castle assets). Before I start work on my next contest content, that is why this month I'm doing a bit of a different contest, I just couldn't refuse:
CONTEST
This month the contest is the same as usual, make a map with my latest art pack (the GARDEN PACK). It should feature grass, forest, or flower-inspired content. As mentioned I'm not doing an asset pack prize this month, but a gift card prize instead. A 250$ Gaming Supply gift card of your choice (options include woodworkers like WyrmWood and Elderwood Academy, or really any other tabletop content provider of your choice).
As usual, I'll select 10 of my favorite Patron-made maps (I'm also running a non-patron contest as mentioned in the tutorial) and post a patron poll to select a winner. As anyone who made the selection will also win a patron upgrade for bonus content that month!
CONTEST RULES:
- Submit a map before the end of February 2022
- The map must feature a river, garden, or forest
- Be sure to include your username in the filename!
- No grid and JPG export
- The poll will start 1st of March and end on the 4th of March
- Anyone can win main prize (even previous winners)
CONTACT
I plan on using the DISCORD CHANNEL for any questions, as usual, still having lots of issues with the Patreon chat or you can hit me up at crossheadstudios@gmail.com
I'm running a bit behind on returning messages, which I will do in the next couple of days, as I've been working like a madman to get this pack finished. I hope you understand! Now that this massive update is out there I will finally have some time to get back on chat and make time for all of you!
There is so much more fun content in the works, which I will announce when the time is ripe! I appreciate all your amazing support! Thanks for your patience!
You'll find all the updated content on the WEBSITE

Hey Junior, I think I already got back to you, but if not I'll put this here for other users who experience this issue. Either you go on the website www.crossheadstudios.com/patrons if you can't get in through there you might have to change browser or go to the disclaimer where there is a direct link to the dropbox on Patreon. Or Check the favored links on Patreon! One of those 3 options should get you to where you need to go!

I can't access dropbox

I always try to have two ways for people to figure out what the new pack is and that is either by placing it in the by the month folder in the back catalog so you can go to the current month and see the new pack or go to the website for the direct download and you'll see in the asset pack section the new pack is marked by (NEW) or (UPDATED) if it's an old pack I've updated with new assets. In this case yes its the garden pack!

i am confused, which is the new pack? The garden one? sorry for being a brickhead <3. And I love your pack especially because with the video(s) i understand how to use em

I really appreciate that! You never know if it's been a journey worth taking beforehand, but in this case I feel it really got me where I needed to go next

<p style="color: #008600;">I think you were right that you postponed the release until better times and tried to improve it. It looks great!</p>
