    I have started using this combo for solo play, and the map generating pillars and other obstacles really enhance the game.

    Liked the video beceause:
    1. Your voice/mic is very nice to listen too
    2. you come across very chill/calming
    3. I feel like you do not act differently when filming a video/you are truly yourself on camera

    I do find it's "better" to do the Dungeon Alchmest part in bright(er) light then adjust lighting/darknes in Foundry for a clearer/more detailed map.
    Also, there's been "green screen" stuff for a while now - which is really cool too.

    Does Foundry or any VTT allow you to use the "cinematic mode" feature that dungeon alchemist has? It seems like it's the best feature for dungeon alchemist but it would be a shame if it can't be utilized in an actual VTT game

    I’ve never done anything like this and I don’t play D&D but I play Warcraft 3 - WoW - Diablo 3. If I get this app I’ll only use the First Person View Perspective as a video background maybe for TH-cam ie being in a hell room or fireplace, is this possible or is there something better for first person view?

    Wow, never even heard of Foundry before. I'll have to look into it. What are the specs of your PC? Do players have to have a beefy PC to use Foundry or just the game host?

    • @benjaminalexander7028
      @benjaminalexander7028 ปีที่แล้ว

      Foundry is dope! I run a foundry server on an entry level M1 MacBook, but only the GM needs to actually have the program or a license. Everyone else joins via browser. There’s also a great service called the Forge that I’ve used that hosts your server for you that makes the whole thing browser based, even for the GM. Pretty fast (if you don’t load a ridiculous amount of data into your world), super customizable, and supports loads of different systems. Does have a bit of a learning curve though.

    • @ssfbob456
      @ssfbob456 ปีที่แล้ว

      @benjaminalexander7028 Personally I just keep the server upon a small older PC, one of those little $100 HP work computers, and access it with my browser on my main PC since I have some modules that I really like that need to be in browser. I don't see why you couldn't run it off a rasberrypi as well

    The problem I have with VTTs is the artistry is always very sub par, I rather just look at the old blue print maps. when you use such crap art it kills the feel.

      @@TheBasicExpert that's cool, my major beef is with the usual suspects of fantasy grounds, foundry d20 etc. the 'chit map' flat look is just an eyesore. Bad enough I would rather just use chess pieces and green army men. there's another 3D vtt called Talespire that's 'ok' but again the art, while better, is really 'world of warcraft-y/5th edition-y' not particularly great.

    I have to say. Dungeon Alchemist is REALLY LACKING. There are lot's of programs that are 50x faster at generating dungeons and customizable with New and downloadable tile sets. Considering you are exporting as a PNG anyways in top down format. Walls and lights are sooo easy to draw in Foundry VTT. Dungeon Alchemist.. for $50.00 is not useful in the state it currently is at. Unless they come out with a pack of 1000 random generation tile sets. this thing is gunna die off once people start looking more at it. I don't want it to fail but I definitely have buyers remorse on this one...

      @@RealWorldMaverick I'm very familiar with how roadmaps work in the indie gaming scene... They are basically empty promises. I have been up and down enough rollercoasters to know the success rate of delivering on roadmaps for indie games is a VERY low percentage. Point is at $50.00 for an indie development game is overpriced for it's current state.

      @@stevolukic If you are looking for random generators. There are a few. some are free and some are not. Personally I use Inkarnate for most everything. It takes a bit of a learning curve but it's fast and reliable when you figure out how to use it. Theres Dungeon Painter Studio, and dunJon and there are a couple other macro-world or city generators. Dunjon and some others are random generators. This was my first stab at a paid random generator program. But Inkarnate can basically do it all. World,city,regional,battlemaps. etc.. and you can import whole packages of tilesets.
