About This Software

GatoCat World Maker is a lightweight fantasy map creation tool that lets you quickly generate and edit procedural worlds. Paint biomes, countries, religions, cultures, rivers, roads, mountains, and settlements directly onto a grid map, then annotate your world with labels and notes. Designed for worldbuilders, writers, and game designers who want a fast, visual way to develop and organize their story settings. 

Use different brushes to paint mountains, roads, nations, religions, cultures, and a variety of other biomes. 

Place cities and villages, labels, and notes.

GatoCat World Maker comes with two pre-built worlds for you to explore and get an idea of what the tool can be used for.
