January 2025 Release 1 - Fungal Grotto

Hey All

Release video: https://youtu.be/i9Y9Tr1p0zM?si=wetTUr_JN5ihX5IF

I've gone back to the Dwarven Ruins of Grunvyr series this month. Feels good to go back to the series for a scene for which I had a good vision. It makes completing the scene so much easier and more enjoyable. I struggled a ...

Fragmenter Rewards Jan 2025 Release 1: Dwarven Ruins of Grunvyr - Fungal Grotto

Hi Fragmenters,

Here is the latest CSP file for the Fungal Grotto scene. It includes 5 levels (each foldered separately for easy configuration), and numerous variations and overhead tile folders. Really happy with how some of the stonework turned out this time, so have a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Breaker Rewards - January 2025 Rel1: Dwarven Ruins of Grunvyr - Fungal Grotto

Hi Breakers!

I'm all done the next chapter in the Dwarven Ruins of Grunvyr series - the Fungal Grotto. This scene includes 5 levels and comes in drained basin and filled basin variations for each level.

I've included the combined images as jpegs and the tiles I used in foundry as webps.

Thanks!

Edit: December 31, 2024 - updated with winter variations and new room variations.

Hi Breakers,

Here are all the images I used to build the Weary Wyvern Scene. Tiles are in webp format and allow for easy combination of images. The jpgs are pre-configured images as usual - different variations for each elevation. Let me know if I missed any you'd like to see!

Breaker Rewards, Nov 24 release II: Warlord's Tomb

Hey Breakers,

I've broken up the maps into each level for both the broken and intact versions of the bridge as well as versions with and without skeletons in the tomb. Let me know if I missed anything! This would be the jpegs file.

The webps file includes all the images I used to build the scene in foundry. Essentially the same images, just broken into pieces.

Fragmenter Rewards, Nov 2024 release II: Warlord's Tomb

Hey Fraggers!

Had a lot of fun creating this scene. Not sure why; maybe because I had a defined vision for it; maybe because I was just in the mood to create; maybe it just turned out well and that made me happy. Whatever the reason, I think it turned out well.

Including 2 files here today: one where I made the scene and another where I combined all the separate levels. Hope you li...

November 2024 Release 1 - Seasonal Forest

Hey Ruiners!

It's been 2 months since I've done this so I am a little rusty haha.

The first release this month is the seasonal forest. I kinda wanted to go back to my mapmaking roots so to speak. Some of my earliest liked maps were my customizable scenes, so I wanted to make sure I didn't forget those scenes!

So comes the Seasonal Forest scene - another of my customizable sc...

Fragmenter Rewards - Buckwind Cove - August 2024 release II

Hi Guys,

If you're a fragmenter, then you probably like making maps and want to improve your technique. This was one of those months for me, where I felt I took a bit of a step forward. I really spent time trying to figure out how to get more vibrant colours and I think I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Not perfect yet, by any means, but a good step forward :)

Anyway, here i...

August 2024 Release 1 - Dragon Crypt

Hi Everyone!

Another busy month, but the latest release is out and I'm pretty proud of it! So it took a while to complete, exacerbated by me getting a new comp and having to set it up, re-install all programs, re-organize assets I use and troubleshoot. I spent hours yesterday just trying to install my video editor and needless to say I was SUPER frustrated. I have it all working no...

July 2024 - Nobleman's Manor

Hi all,

I've completed the Patreon voted Nobleman's Manor. This guy took me a while. It started off really well, but quickly became a bit of a slog for me. On that note, I think I want to let you all know where I'm at right now. If you're not interested, you can skip down to the new scene notes below :)

It's been a trend recently, biting off a bit more than I can chew. Of late all o...

Hi Fragmenters!

Here is the link to the CSP file for the Nobleman's Manor. I have tried to label each room in the file so it is easier to navigate, as well as per level. This one actually slowed my machine down a few times but I didn't think it was that big.... just be prepared I guess :)

June 2024 release - The Living Quarters - Dwarven Ruins of Grunvyr series

Hi everyone,

So a bit of an update on me. I am feeling much better now, but it took a while to recover. Really struggled with focusing when sick. When I came back to this scene after getting better, I decided the restart the whole thing... that meant taking longer to complete, but I think the product is much better. I can't say what it was, but something was off with my first draft. Just ...
