🗺️ 5 Huge Expanded Maps for Free from Yesterday's Twitch Stream 🎮
In yesterday's stream, we worked on a total of 5 Map Expand projects and made a lot of progress with them in just 3 hours. 🚀 I want to share these with you. I've also made them available to download on Google Drive, which you can find here: 📂

But first, let's take a look at the previews: 👀
🏝️ Island
This map was primarily made for Cthulhu adventures. 🐙 From the coast, you can reach countless places, including a lighthouse, a shipwreck, a sandy beach, a small village, a farm, a town, a river, and a small inland lake where the river/stream flows into. 🌊 These are connected by a consistent road network, and the scale of the map is consistent from start to finish. During the stream, there were obviously some interesting workarounds here and there, and we also ran into a couple of bugs that still need to be ironed out or we need to figure out what's causing them... 🐛
🏜️ Desert (Small)
We brought this map out at the end of the stream. I was curious about something, so I expanded it a bit. It is fundamentally excellent for Ancient Egypt adventures. 🏺🐫
🌴 Jungle
During the stream, this map probably caused the least headache. It's a map surrounded by streams. 💦 It is excellent for pirate, exploration, or treasure-hunting campaigns. 🏴☠️💎
🌌 Space (Floating Platforms)
This map caused plenty of headaches. 🤯 The stream shows that it really matters how you write your prompts, and it also reveals what solutions are needed to avoid as many visual glitches as possible. I personally learned a lot from this. 💡 Although there are still minor visual glitches here and there on the map, it's 95% seamless. It doesn't break immersion. ✨
🐪 Desert (Oasis - Big)
For this map, we received specific requests in the chat on what to try and how. 💬 Here too, we solved unique requests with interesting workarounds and tested things out, such as placing a small boat, ship, or shipwreck on the water and on the shore. 🛶 Starting from a desert camp, you can reach ruins, a cave, or the shore. 🏕️ Players can also go among the dunes. It provides an excellent foundation for a serious desert session. 🎲
🛠️ Summary:
Map Expand still has some bugs, but currently, none of them make the software unusable, as it effortlessly survived a nearly 3-hour session and we created the maps we wanted. 🏆 So, it's safe to say that the software does what you are backing this campaign for. 🤝
However, if you spot any bugs on the maps or have any comments about the software, definitely let us know! 📣 We will absolutely fix whichever bugs we can, but we need feedback for that. We want to release the software in the most perfect state possible. 🌟
And if you can make it to the next stream, you can also drop some ideas on which maps we should expand and what kind of terrain to add.🧠💭
📜 CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) - Public Domain
🎁 You are free to use the 5 expanded maps found on the Drive for personal, commercial, and educational purposes. Even those who aren't backers of the campaign can use them. Honestly, you can do whatever you want with them—you can even sell them if you wish—though I'd personally prefer if you kept sharing them for free. So, these 5 maps are essentially yours to use and distribute in any way, with full commercial rights. 📜 If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out. 😊
Thank you for your attention, and also for helping out with feedback or pointing out any annoying issues. 🙏
Thank you for all the support so far! ❤️
Cheers,
Benjamin
