«Arcane Mapper is approaching the point when the software will be useful for creating high quality, atmospheric maps for physical and virtual tabletop RPG games. However it is only through interaction and development with the community that this product can achieve the features and ease of use to allow Arcane Mapper to truly fit the needs of the RPG community.

In the future Arcane Mapper will more directly support Digital and Virtual Tabletop play and this will require even more community involvement.»

Για πόσο περίπου θα είναι αυτό το λογισμικό σε πρόωρη πρόσβαση;

«Arcane Mapper will be in early access until the editing tools are complete - supporting outdoor environments, cities, towns with buildings as well as dungeons and until it supports Virtual/Digital Tabletop features. So I expect the product to stay in early access for approximately 6 months.

However you can start creating maps and making use of the program right away, it already supports export, rendering, Steam Workshop and many other features.»
