Development Update


Hey everyone. Just thought i'd post a quick update on what's going on with the development of Dungeon Maker Sketch.

First off the project is still in development, it is going abit slow at the minute however due to personal issues which are being resolved. The time frame of the next update will be mid July.

Currently the plans for the update are quite ambitous and the development for this next update has mainly been experimentation of new features aswell as planning a large graphics rework. This rework will not change the style of the graphics only polish them all. I'm doing this rework because of the skill gap between the first graphics made and all the new stuff so it should add more consistency to the look.

I'm also experimenting with colour. After talking to some users it doesn't seem to be a necessary but the thought behind it is that it will attract new users to Dungeon Maker Sketch.

Some things i'm experimenting with are auto placement features like auto walling and rectangle, circle and free hand drawing are all things i'd love to add, i'm also looking into a prefab type system which will allow you to create smaller structures that can be placed and duplicated in any map.

I hope you are all still excited for the update and thank you so much for your patience and continued support!

Hi Edward - Was just wondering if there were any updates? Thanks! :)

Hey i wish i had good news for you but unfortunatly my time is being stretched very thin right now. I'm going to be as honest and upfront as possible. i'm working on 4 different projects. (5 including this one) and being a one man indie developer means i have to prioritise. There is one important thing i'm working on that will be done sometime early October, that currently is using up all of my time. After that the other things are quite small so i can put more work into Dungeon Maker Sketch and the other projects.

If i had to give you a time frame: Late October - early December this year there will be an early release of the new version (It will be early access type thing alongside the old version). I have it started and i'm sure you'll love what i have planned for DMS and it's being rebuilt from the ground up with better artwork, UI and more features. Then around March-April 2021 should be the first 1.0 release of the new version.

Sorry that i don't have better news. I'm sure everyone understands that this year has been difficult. When an update is approching i will be posting on here screenshots and sneak peaks and over on the Disord server. The best i can say right now is sit tight, an update is coming.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like the best I can do right now is buy a license and support an indie developer, so I'm off to click Buy Now :) Have an amazing day!

EDIT: Done. Threw in a tip to help out during these messed up times. Good luck with the other projects!

Thanks alot. I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy Dungeon Maker Sketch, if you have any issues or feedback let me know. You have an amazing day too :)
