Thank you for the video! I tried Inkarnate's free version and felt the same. Underwhelmed and feeling a little deceived that they don't include all the assets they advertise for the free version. I'd love to see you draw that map in your style! Also, I am Italian descendant on my mother's side (also "Maria"!) and watching your videos is nice. It wakes up a little bit of a feeling of missing family with me. :)
Ciao! Thank you for your feedback. You know, talking with other Inkarnate users i've discovered you had much more freedom of choice in the beginning. I'm sad they have reduced this selection because could've been a great tool for authors and people willing to craft their own idea. I know 5 bucks a month may sound "doable" for many people, but today we have so many subscription plans and I wonder if there is something else that can be used for free and offering a better alternative =) - Glad my italian roots are screaming loud through my accent lol
@@renflowergrapx I didn't know that they cut back on their users! I'm not an Inkarnate user really, I tried it a long time ago and knew it wasn't for me. Especially because I also hate subscription models! I ended up using Wonderdraft instead which is similar. While it's not free ($30) and not perfect, it was a 1 time purchase and I can add my own assets to it. BUT I've been getting more into drawing my own maps though and that's how I found your video! Keep making these awesome videos!! And hey they are good roots (Italy) so keep them screaming! lol Ciao!
All right, after researching it I have understood the head in bubble is the circle where i appear! Thank you so much for the feedback. i have already started to reduce its size and I'll continue to downgrade and balance the graphic elements. About the microphone: this is a real issue for me. My microphone is decent, but my ambient is very noisy and when I filter all the background I end up with a very compressed track! Hope i can work on it too. After all, I'm an illustrator and all I do with editing (video and audio) is very basic :D. Again thank you for your feedback!
Oh, and if you are up to this, can you tell if anything improved from this video you have commented to this one instead th-cam.com/video/g4NCtCdTa5g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=r5199AC4ngyh8U6H ?
@@renflowergrapx I've watched nearly the whole thing. More informative, better presented. Overall better. Only issue is maybe more personal background music makes it much more difficult to focus. I appreciate your listening. Be sure to get multiple opinions and not listen to only one random person. Appreciate the follow up comments.
@@JohnMiller-te4ov Thank you John for dedicating more time to this. I appreciate you. Yes, I know I should not structure all the changes on a single user, but you are not the first person telling me about the mic, tho !
I actually subscribed to Inkarnate and it has been a major headache. Few tutorials; hard to understand; not intuitive. I will be looking elsewhere soon for a map making tool. Thank-you for the video!
For me, Inkarnate was intuitive enough, but I struggled more with the rigidity of its features. I’d suggest more user-friendly programs, but for now, my knowledge is limited to what I shared in the video. That said, there are some map simulators on Steam that I’d like to try out. As obvious as it may sound, I’ll always encourage you to grab some paper and a pen and give yourself the chance to learn. Not only is it fun and stimulating, but you might even discover a new hobby!
Does anyone else hate that all these tools are online? I like to have my apps completely offline local on my computer, it shouldn't need to access the internet ever. All my files stored on MY machine that I can access at any time.
I completely understand! I often feel pressured to subscribe to "increasingly expensive monthly plans" (COUGH COUGH ADOBE) just to be able to create and work. It’s so discouraging and makes me feel dependent, which I really don’t like. Sometimes I try to rediscover older methods because I hate feeling like I can only "function" with the help of digital online tools. That’s why I explore software and websites that can speed up the process, but I always recommend experimenting and learning as much as possible. For me, it’s the only way to truly enjoy the creative process and maybe develop irreplaceable skills.
Hey Tomas, When I upload and translate the subtitles I also create the title with youtube editor. If your browser is settled on Spanish you probably see the videos in the language you have turned on.
@@SuperTomas314 Oh, it's pretty simple: When I upload my own subtitles (or type them), I can automate the translation. In the window where you upload and edit your video, you can find the Subtitles tab! Just below the list, you will find the button to add languages, and for each language, you can automatically translate the original subtitles! You can also do this for titles and descriptions.
@@SuperTomas314 I know translations won't be always accurate, but I still want to give them a try. Especially when I share videos which are made to help people (like tutorials and info-sharing)
@renflowergrapx always!! I started to teach myself maps by looking at old 90s videogames but I've improved after watching you, wasd20 and pen&blade. Watching your work is like attending advanced class.
@@artblockonthefrontlawn6701 oh. Wow. I mean, this sounds like a huge compliment. (Thank you) - I don’t know much about where to start teaching. Thus i’m sharing my raw process and sometimes thoughts! If i may ask, what do you think is the most difficult part in mapmaking, at least for your experience so far?

Thanks for the review from Azgaar's author.
Thank YOU for creating something fun and accessible!
You made that? Thanks a lot :D
@@The_Harsh_Truth Yes, I did
I love this program / app
Loose the background music, update your mic or turn up the volume, and use less head in bubble screen time. You've nothing to hide.
@@JohnMiller-te4ov hey John, i know half of what you’ve mentioned- but i’ll give that a chance 👀

@@renflowergrapx I am not sure what you mean by using pencil and paper to learn what?
@@WillyEast Drawing maps! Since we are talking about mapmaking tools.
@@renflowergrapx Drawing the maps for me is the easier part but just learning some of the digital tools has been tedious for now.
@ oh! That’s interesting, what’s the difficult part for you in the digital conversion? Finding an approachable software?
Thank you that was a fun video to watch.
@@badgerburns521 Thank YOU for watching 🪷

Dungeondraft and Wonderdraft, not free but a one time payment and can be used completely offline after install.
Why the title and description are in spanish?

@renflowergrapx realism, the edges of the land and shading. Some simple things for me turn out to be the hardest or most tedious.
