Testing Free Map-Making Apps So You Don't Have To | Renflowergrapx

I'm checking out some free map-making apps to see which ones are actually worth your time. As a cartographer and illustrator, I love creating maps, so I thought I'd put these apps to the test. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how easy they are to use, what cool features they have, and whether they can help you make awesome maps. Whether you're just curious, need a map for a project, or you're a fellow map geek, this one's for you! Hit that like button, drop a comment, and subscribe for more Videos!

Thanks for the review from Azgaar's author.

[@renflowergrapx]

Thank YOU for creating something fun and accessible!

[@ED-zm8ut]

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. :)

[@renflowergrapx]

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

[@ED-zm8ut]

@@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!

[@leventose]

Please , i want the same map with your style 🔥. P.s. Sempre sul pezzo con i video...Mraco approved!

[@artblockonthefrontlawn6701]

Thankyou!!!

[@renflowergrapx]

Thank YOU for watching =)

[@artblockonthefrontlawn6701]

@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.

[@renflowergrapx]

@@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?

[@SuperTomas314]

Why the title and description are in spanish?

[@renflowergrapx]

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]

@@renflowergrapx That's interesting... Can i ask you something else? How do you get subtitles in 12 languages? XD

[@renflowergrapx]

@@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.

[@renflowergrapx]

@@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)

[@SuperTomas314]

@@renflowergrapx So, you make the english subtitles and then use the translation right?
