February Update
🕑 Added 2024-03-07 14:38:56 +0000 UTCHey all together.
First of all I am very sorry for the delays on both theme packs. I was unable to get the Baldurs Gate Pack done, due to irl stuff happening and me being sick for several weeks. Now i am facing the problem of work and comissions piling up. I am desperate to get the Baldurs Gate Pack done but couldn't get started yet. -.- On the other hand: the February theme pack is also behind the shedule now, without any of you being able to vote. I personally need to get back to a normal shedule or else i fear that i loose control over it. My solution would be to delay the Baldurs Gate pack to a time when i am more capable of finishing it. I will instead release a special pack for january & february theme, based on my storage. This way can go back to the normal shedule and voting on the packs :). Nonetheless i have been working hard behind the scenes.
Automation:
To reduce the workload i have trained my programming skills. Some repetetive work is now automated or partially automated.
Post Processing of Maps -> Automated
Creating Social Images -> Automated
Folder Management -> Automated
Creating Foundry Modules -> partially Automated (soon completely)
Creating advertising Texts -> partially Automated
Posting on dedicated Subreddits -> Full Automated
I want to dig way more deeper into this field. At the moment i am learning Python and for sure it has it's limitations when it comes down to Foundry. But luckily Dungeondraft supports modding and is based on python which allows me to automate some of the map making process. But before i start with that i need to learn more python basics.
Master Compendium:
This Module comes with a Compendium that has all Scenes sorted by their Biom (Forest, Desert, Hell,City,...) You can still use the individual packs as before. The Master compendium only provides the maps sorted properly. It also fixes the missing thumbnails from previous packs.
It does not come with the map files! You still need to install each pack. [ more details here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dungeonmaster-96887167 ]
I was annoyed that even i can no longer find maps properly. When i need a map I usually think of the setting/theme biom i need. After this its the type i am looking for, is it a Road or a Dungeon. Each theme has some fitting subcategories. The Category Caves comes with maps that don't have an exterior and can be used for multiple buildings/structures....
Thats all for now :)
I keep you updated on Discord as usual.
