awesome, though a bit buggy. nothin that hasn't been said before. but i have to ask, anyone know of any downloadable programs that work similar to this?
Reviews for "Dragoncon Battlemat"
mwmdragon responds:
There are a bunch of downloadable programs that allow you to do this.. but I wanted to do it in HTML5 ;)
Could use a tutorial build or prebuilt demo level to get players engaged in the game and how to use the tools.
mwmdragon responds:
There is the quick info that pops up on loading and then there is a help button at the bottom "?" that explains everything.
Needs generic buildings and such otherwise cool.
mwmdragon responds:
There is a lot more that can be added, but it really increases the size of the download so I was thinking of releasing themed packs instead of one giant release. As version 1.0 this is many hours of playable content!
Not too bad, just a couple thoughts for this are local save options for maps bestiaries and characters, and maybe a random map generator. If you want this to be really on the fly, that is a great way to do it.
Newgrounds also probably wasn't a great place for this with some of the scrolling functions. It still seems just ever more beneficial to actually do this on pen and paper. Still a kick ass thing to use for some nifty visuals if ever my group gets lazy.

It was a learning project for me.. I'll improve on it over time but I think my next focus will be AI to make something similar but as an actual game rather than a tool.
This has come leaps and bounds. And considering it is html5, you've pushed the boundaries a bit furthur on what can/can't be done. Wonderful Job.
