A Quick Survey & Feedback Round

Hi all, 

Of course, there were some things I had not taken into account when testing the updated assets. I had to redo some tasks to save time significantly with the future updates and improve the quality of my assets on various VTTs and Dungeondraft.

While waiting for the updated assets to export, I put together this quick survey bundling together a few questions I've had in m...

IMPORTANT: Tier Updates & Poll: New Tier Names

Hi everyone,

This is an announcement about the upcoming changes to the tier rewards that take effect at the turn of the month at the latest. Sorry about the short notice, there was some unexpected turn when planning these changes.  

I will be rolling out some of the changes already during this month as soon as I get archives, permissions, etc. set up and updated. The rest of th...

Starshard Temple - A Corrupted Asteroid Monastery

Hi everyone!

In my turn-of-the-month post I said that I'd do fewer variants and more maps from now on, but seems like I can't resist the temptation if there's a low-hanging fruit to create a few extra variants, like with this map. So, it's likely that there will be some variants, but not always. 

Also, I might update old posts afterward, and I'm also considering creating single...

Asset Update Status Update and a Question...

Alright, finally all 3000+ assets are updated, renamed with a more consistent naming, and structured into a new folder structure

This was way more work than I expected and only a little of it could be automated. 

Next, I'll start working on the Dungeondraft packs and the Foundry Modules, but I need to work on some maps before that.

Poll: Hero Tokens

Hi everyone, 

As announced in the recent post, tokens are coming. I would not have started working on the tokens now unless I would have gotten help and this is where Pauliina gets in the picture. Pauliina has been working as an intern for the past eight weeks or so, and they have helped me out in updating the old assets and worked on some new assets themselves too. ...

Moulinette Cloud Activated & Status Report

Hi all, 

I wanted to make a quick update on what I've been up to behind the scenes. 

Moulinette Cloud

First of all, the Moulinette Cloud is now active!  

I said I'd take care of this later, but I realized that this was a quick job to get started as soon as got the hang of it. 

All Hero+ tier patrons can now access my m...

Poll: The Next Vehicle Token/Tile Set

I’ve made some spaceship and ground vehicle tokens/tiles lately and I’m thinking of the next set I should do. I’ve been looking into making character tokens for some time already, but not quite ready to commit into making those just yet. They are coming, but after I have completed the Dungeondraft packs and Foundry VTT module updates. 

Anyways, various vehicles are something th...

Hypercorp Lobby (22x16)


Ever since The Matrix came out in 1999 I've wanted to run a lobby fight scene with Spybreak! by Propellerheads playing in the background. However, so far I haven't ended up doing a proper battle map for this, but now there's no more need to worry as here you have it :) 

I also made some theme variants to help fit this into different scenarios and this map works great toget...

Underground Parking Hall (40x22)

As I released the pack of vehicle tiles/tokens recently, I thought there needs to be a map that could benefit from those. So, I figured that I haven't ever done a proper parking hall or garage map and decided to fix this issue. 

An underground parking hall or garage with a small office for t...

A Quick Request for Prison Asset Ideas

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a set of prison-themed assets for the Prison Transport deckplan and I feel that I'm missing something.

I got the basic manacles, prison bunks, interrogation "chairs" (à la Star Wars), bench presses, etc. But what else I could include in this pack?

Thanks!

New Asset Packs: Vehicles & Damage Decals

Hi everyone! 

I've been aware of this gaping hole in my asset selection for some time already and now I finally decided to do something. Now some basic vehicle needs should be covered and on the side, I created a pack of damage decals and repair patches.

Something that was supposed to be just a quick addition to my assets turned out into a huge pack of as...

Hypercorp Boardroom [22x16]

Time for another meeting! 

I happen to always have a bunch of maps drafted or half-done lying on my hard drive or iPad. These are results of my experiments or late-night drafts that get pushed aside because of other maps and sometimes I just simply forgot they even existed :D

But, when I hear a suggestion for a map, sometimes I happen to have something just waiting for that fin...

Call for Ideas: Environment Themes

Hi everyone!

Lately I've been working on some desert and jungle themed maps, and I have still a few in the works. Before I get those finished, I'd like to hear some suggestions for environment themes. NOT specific map ideas, but different terrains or environments you would like to see featured in the upcoming maps and asset packs.

To give some examples and ideas f...

Jungle Bio-Lab (32x22)

Hi everyone, 

Getting this map done took much longer than I expected. There were some interruptions, as I had to sort out some accounting stuff and get a trainee on board to help with the asset updates. We have now updated over 1000 assets and prepared them for use with Dungeondraft and Foundry VTT.  I expect the updating to be done next week and the first FVTT asset modules sho...

Poll: Next Deckplan

Hi everyone, 

I have some other maps to finish, but I'll make another deckplan as soon as possible. So, let's have a vote on what kind of spaceships or vehicle deckplan it should be. 

Please note that I did not include any large ships as I'm working on some modular pieces to build parts of bigger ships. 

Vote for your favorites by the 21st of March.

New Token Set: Spaceships #01

Hi everyone, 

Here's the spaceship token set I've been working on. This is also my first set of spaceships and I believe there will be more soon. These are inspired by science fiction books, movies, and games like The Expanse, Alien: Prometheus, Aliens, and Halo. The next set will be probably more space opera or space fantasy flavored. Wishes and suggestions are always welcome, than...

Derelict Tug [32x44 Deckplan]

Ever needed a spaceship wreck deckplan? Here's one for you with a load of different variants, but it also comes with a basic operational version for normal use. 

Originally I designed this ship for my Starfinder campaign and it was supposed to be a quick derelict deckplan, but I ended up making an operational version of the ship, a separate crawlspace level, and a set of tokens for t...

Poll: Spaceship Background and Hull Styles

Another poll regarding the deckplans and spaceship tokens. Which of the background and hull styles do you find useful? 

Some are meant to be more aesthetic and neutral choices, while some are meant to be used out of the box or to customize your own scenes. I added some examples below for reference. 

Vote for all options that apply.

Coming Soon: Acheron-Class Derelict Mining Tug WIP

One more post! 

I was supposed to get this map done by today, but despite my best efforts I didn't have it quite done yet.

The ship needs propping and some grime, damage, and debris before it is ready for release. I might have to make a quick set of assets for this as well. Once this is ready, the Acheron-class mining tug drifting in space is going to be perfect for a one-ses...

Jungle Valley Zone

This map represents a remote and isolated valley. This was made as a custom map for one of my Epic tier patrons and I'm working on a bio lab building plan to accompany this map. 

This map also was a great opportunity to experiment with new painting techniques and I really like how this turned out. Now that I figured out how to make regional maps that have a look suitable for sci-fi a...

Medical And Laboratory Props

This pack of props includes 69 unique medical and laboratory-themed props from medical beds to microscopes and whiteboards. 

It took longer than I expected to prepare the release as I built a bunch of macros for Photoshop to produce different color and size variants much faster in the future. 

Also, this is sort of an alpha release for the new naming convention including t...

This is a map I started working on in late December but had to put it aside for a while. I thought that different kinds of hangars and docking bays are quite typical places for...
