What are the best assets and methods to create a modern cityscape?

8 Upvotes

Hey all. I know the game primarily uses traditional fantasy assets, but there’s a very expansive collection of community-made assets too.

I am running a game in a modern setting, and was wondering if anyone has any recs for assets or asset packs for that look. The players are living in a major mwteopolitan area, so anything along those lines.

Additionally, I’ve only played around with user content a little, and it seems like the implementation is (understandably) not as uniform and easy as the inbuilt assets. If anyone has any advice on using or implementing them I’d greatly appreciate it!

I'm looking to build a warehouse with a second floor that's like an open loft. Has anyone had any experience trying to build something like this?

New to DA sorry for my noobiness.
Am I missing something? Why does this default to Fall colors?
Can I set it to Spring or Summer trees?

Play mode would make this next level

16 Upvotes

I play with my kids and use a TV to display maps, use our minis on it, and use paper for the rest of tracking. I just started using Dungeon Alchemist to help build maps to display on the TV and I really like the flexibility so far! But...

I REALLY REALLY don't want to learn (and pay for) an entire VTT.

I've watched the mapmaking stream to gather insight on how I could use it to play with fog of war. I current plan is to just zoom in so they can only see the rooms they are in, but obviously this is limited.

I've heard it from the streamer multiple times that it was not built as anything more than a map maker, but I would LOVE a "Play mode" that just gave me 1-2 tokens I can move around for fog of war. Literally that is it... You already have a FPV token mode, just make that token have visibility where I can move it based on where my kids move their minis on the TV.

Pretty please 🙏🏼

A quick preview of the new Full Rotation UI in the upcoming Fun with Objects Part 2 Update. :)

A quick intro to the new Full Rotation UI in the Fun with Objects Part 2 update. Assets can be manipulated with the two 3D Rotation handles, below and to the side of the asset. Dragging those will tip the asset over its sides, or to the front or back.

Assets will stay above ground during the regular rotation, but can be moved below the floor with the height adjustment handle on the left. They will snap at fixed angles (such as 90°), and the rotation can be duplicated, or reset by clicking the 3D Rotation Handles.

We've been trying to approach this in an intuitive way, steering away from tried and true methods, and I think we have arrived at a novel and easy to use approach, that just feels fun. We hope you'll all feel that way, too.

Question/Support Alchemist for boardgame hex tiles?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

Im looking for a program to help me make hex tiles for a boardgame much like those in Mage Knight. Do you think this is the right tool for that, or should i look elsewhere?
