I sometimes forget a lot of people don't know how @dungeonalchemist.bsky.social works yet. So I'd like, if I may, to show you the basic process. 🙂

In summary: high-quality fantasy #battlemaps for your #ttrpg games in seconds.

I really enjoy that @dungeonalchemist.com builds an explorable 3D model, even though I use it primarily as a flat map in game. But it also makes for good visual handouts for the players.

A broken stone staircase leading up to the novice monk's dormitory, seen through and ornate arch.

The ruined monastery garden with dead trees, seen from the cloister, south of the chapel.

Front door of the ruined monastery, still intact.

Inside the runited chapel, a view of the high altar and transepts from the choir.

we keep getting these strange signals that are coming from the "Kuiper Belt" sometimes people sending S.O.S's or random advertisements for some station called "Mothers House"

The @procreate.com kerning bug is seriously messing the sneak preview graphic... Oh well.🙂

Did you abolish negative kerning, @procreate.com? Why, WHY would you ever DO THAT? It renders the text tool 80% useless, and that was one of your strongest features! 😫

Good morning, all!

A critical #Unity vulnerability issue Friday prompted an instant update to almost all Unity games worldwide.

We have implemented a patch, but may experience more issues caused by the upgrade. We apologise for any inconvenience . 🙏

No they won’t. They’ve bought the drum, broke the drum, killed the music and blaming the others.

Also hey, my friend Sean is looking for work! He's a 3D environmental artist, and we worked together back in the day at Gaslamp Games.
