World Maker
Little project for fun that generates a world map.
Currently generates maps based on seed for:
- Elevation
- Climate
- Rainfall
- Temperature
- Rivers and Lakes
- Basic Civilization Borders
- Civilizations
- Flags
- Names
You can also export these maps as png files.
Instructions
Using the program
You can download a working version in releases page or on itch.io.
On left panel you can pick size of map generate. Larger maps will take longer to generate but will be more detailed. You can also adjust amount of continental plates in the world. More plates generally mean more mountains.
After generating you can use the controls in lower left corner to save maps. Just give the map a name and press save. Saved maps are found in: C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/World Maker
Alternatively you can type in your own chosen save location
Also after generating there are buttons to adjust map with additional erosion etc.
Once you are done you can move to generating civilizations with done. This also will add detail to the map
There is a separate flag generator for just generating flags than can be then saved
You can get some instructions by clicking the questionmark
