    I've been using Worldbox for a while. The pixelated style is great for coming up with interesting shapes for the landmasses.
    Just changing a few pixels can give a completely different look to the land, and there are a lot of tools that help randomizing stuff.

    Haha I remember when WorldBox looked like this, there is 8 biome types; Swamp, Enchanted, Savannah, Wasteland created by acid/nukes, Corrupted, Infernal, Jungle, Grasslands, Mushroom) all with their own animals/effects and now with 4 more on the way hopefully by April, not to mention updates to the building sprites and boats and other stuff

    Not sure if this is due to where I live (Sweden), or if Microsoft has changed something in the past 3+ weeks, but when I went to download the "Image Composite Editor" you used, the page told me: "We're sorry, this download is no longer available."
    I compared the url I used to the one in your video, and it was identical. Just wanted to make you aware of it, just in case Microsoft has permanently removed the download for it for everyone.
    Edit: Oh and forgot to say... great video! I enjoyed it a lot. Think I saved links to most of the programs or sites you mentioned using in the video. XD

    Ok, there is a lot of things I have problems of, blurring in pixel art is one thing, curving text and not drawing in a more pixelized resolution is another. Lospec is a great platform to use when you're starting in pixel art and gives features like palettes, tutorials, and suggested apps to use and download. This is a good map, but I was expecting more if a pixelated look and not something pixel-like.

    Sorry nate that I am a bit late. I always love you videos. By the way I did actually get the core rulebooks for D&D 5 E over christmas.
    The adventure starts where the players are falling in a pit deep into the ground (An idea i got from one of your videos) where the dind vampires and vampire spawns. They escape the dungeon and go back to there town Arelon. By the time they get there Arelon has a new mayor. Silcore a vampire. The people in the town often go mad and its up to the players to defeat silcore.

    I recently started up an old campaign I stowed away, and decided to hand draw the maps which was a first cuz all my other campaigns didn't have maps I think they turned out ok, I'm no artist but I just want my players to see where they are and the surrounding area, most of my games have lot's of improv in them so I can tailor the experience to my players. Are there any map making apps or games, etc; that you recommend that are cheap and make good maps

    Hey Nate, love your video! You inspired me to draw fantasy maps myself. But I find it difficult to find suitable fonts for labeling my towns, rivers etc. Do you have any suggestions for medieval/fantasy fonts that are great for maps? (Not specifically pixel art maps) I would love to hear your answer! Greetings from Germany.
