Frequently Asked Questions
What software did you use to create the maps?
All maps were created using Inkarnate Pro. Additional details were added with GIMP. GIMP really helped with shadow effects, lighting, and the addition of custom assets to the maps.
If you have any additional questions send us a direct message or leave a comment. I'll try to answer all the questions that I can.
What are the map dimensions?
Map Pack One Image Dimensions
The following maps are 2048 x 2048: Air Dojo, Canal Town, Viking Village, Evil Throne Room, Volcanic Cave, Forest Spirit Shrine, Glacier Encounter, Dungeon Keep, Return of the Ancients, Ice Cave, Water Oracle, Dungeon Cells, A Tithe for the Goddess, Warehouse Heist, Sewer Lair, Outside Inn
The rest of the maps are 2048 x 1536: Ghost Town, Farm Hamlet, Desert Ruins, Massacre in the Woods, Mountain Paradise, Sunken Temple, Trials of the Tower, Village Street, Desert Canyon
File sizes range from 1MB to 3MB as jpegs.
All maps are currently set to 96 dpi. They will print at 28.444 in x 28.444 in.
Adjusting dpi to 150 will create a print size of 13.653in x 13.653in.
Adjusting dpi to 300 will create a print size of 6.827in x 6.827in.
Although I can create files with a higher resolution (4096 x 4096 for example,) that will greatly increase the file size making the maps more difficult to upload to virtual tabletops that have library limits.
But I understand backers might want a higher dpi for the purposes of printing.
Depending on demand, I may create different sizes and check with all backers after the kickstarter ends in the survey to see which size/dimensions they prefer.
Feel free to send me any other questions you have.
