Hey waabou. Greetings and hope you're well. 

A question. Could you add support for ?notes=off to the request string? 

For some reason adding ?notes=off actually seems to work on Firefox SOMETIMES but not all the time and I have no idea why. Ideally there is a way for me a way to download the dungeon png without notes + the json for the same dungeon.

By the way - this feature exists now. 

Hey there. Can you send me a remix link to your story so I can investigate.

How about the ability to click on a connection wire between passages to select it and then being able to hit delete. That would remove the connection. 

Thanks for the feedback redcapybara! Ausie? 

1. You’re not the first person to mention this. You actually can remove connections but it’s not super obvious. What you have to do is open the originating  passage and click on the corresponding link and then click delete. We’ll have a think about how to make it better.  
2. The ability to style the background is a great idea! 
   
3. An AI image library is a great idea. Do you want this so you can either go back to a previous image or do that you can use the same image in multiple passages?
   

Love it :) 

Will you be adding UI to export your pub?

Nice work! I love the aesthetic.

Couple of pre-sale questions. 

Will the Male and Female playable character come out at the same time as the enemy characters?

And would you say there is a enough visual cohesion between the Forest and the Dungeon to make a game that switches between the two?

Touché 🙏

This is slick but it’s hard to make a game without characters and object  😵‍💫

wow amazing, can I please commission some work?

I really love this! It's a pleasure to use. I've wanted to make something similar for our educational toolkit Gamefroot for years but we've never got around to it - as you know there's lots of moving parts! 

But now that we have some inspiration (you beauty) we are porting this interface and all the variables into make.gamefroot.com. It's not currently visible or ready to show off but I just wanted to let you know that your work is inspirational and that we will be engaging the next generation of game designer with your thinking and our thinking combined. 

I'd love to chat more about this if you ever have a spare moment :)

I'm going to have a crack at doing this for Javascript games. It might generate JSON :)

If there’s anything I could do to convince you not to go hex I’d do it. 

Dungeons & Caves make sense to work together and this sounds like you’d be intentionally making them not compatible  from the start 🤔

Unless of course the JSON was indifferent and I could use the JSON from hex caves tool to draw the same caves using tiles as I do with the dungeons. 

Bro, those caves look sick! My fingers and toes are crossed. Either way love your work. I’m still your number 1 kiwi fan 😎

i just read your idea on how to do this in Patreon. 

Please please please  make them compatible. I am importing the dungeon json into a game and I can envisage a version of this where players could move between dungeon and cave.  

Nice work watabou. This is a cool update. 

I'd like to +1 the request for naming the different doors. That means as a game designer I can use them with more deliberate intent. 

Also numbering the rooms e.g. room 1, room 2, room 3 in the JSON would be would be a huge win for me. That way I can programatically do what you're doing in this image and use the custom notes feature to write about each of digital dungeon in my campaign. Pretty please ;) 

We'd love this too :-)

That’s a really good question.

We are thinking a good next step for might be to add a shape tool so you can instantly put a shape into your level and add code to it. Would that work for you? 

Hi. Gamefroot is a resource for making games in your browser.

We’re just getting started here. We’ll be using this page to share new content and resources instantly usable by the community.

We’re looking forward to adding more asset packs, tutorials and updates to serve the community :-)

Ha! Hadn't thought of it like that but yes you're right :)

I know its probably not what you want to hear but we're just using the dash movement for up and down. In a platform environment this is just fine. 

This was pretty obviously not a top-down pack :)

I'm following you now :)

Looks awesome. What are the best character packs to use with Raven tilesets?

I'd be happy to chip in something $$$ as well.

I double this list. I reckon it'd be swell to make a game like Celeste using this asset pack - but I think without a few more things its hard to make a complete game.


I would add a few more NPC character / baddies. A bat? Or a hound? more things to hurt you.

I can't DM you. Can you please follow @danmilward :)

Hello. I've messaged you a few times previously (6 months ago). Can we please work together to integrate this with our platform Gamefroot. Can I email you or DM you on twitter? I'd love to have a chat.

In other news... thanks for the update. It's swell!!!

Mostly yes. Our users are kids learning  game dev and it's hard for them to understand what 'a good level' is. This shows them and gets them thinking about spatial design and level design.

And its just cool!

This is awesome. I run a level editor called Gamefroot. Why don't we put these assets into Gamefroot and run an Itch Game Jam? We could even throw in a small cash prize in you're interested?

Hello. I’m wondering whether you’re any closer to releasing the source code. I’d like to integrate it into our game builder Gamefroot 🙏

This is beautiful. Well done :)

Are you any closer to releasing the source code. As its running in the browser, is it javascript?

Im loving it too.

Just putting in out there for the universe... my next big wish for this is a couple of female hero characters. One at least :)

 And then maybe in the future it'd be an outside theme :)

As a paying customer and loving fan I would 100% vote for this. Especially if the next tileset is also compatible with this one and the dungeon tileset. There are so many artists on Itch that do a little bit of this and a little bit of that - making it very hard to make a game with say an inside AND an outside (who'd do such a thing?!?!?!).

The other thing that might be nice with these three sets is to draw more objects / enemies, girl characters... 

Either way well done. You've done another spectacular job :)

How is this coming along? Can't wait to see the update :)

Do you have any plans to release player sprite sheet or add enemy sprites / NPCs and collectable items? I'd love to use this to teach kids how to make a game like spelunky but there's not enough there currently. 

That said, love your work, it's a great looking set :-)

A couple of keys and matching doors would also be nice :)

After this I’d love to see an optional female hero player character.

Also. A thought. The Knight looks like a good Knight not an evil Knight. Just to be clear... I love the art though! 

I also think adding secondary player sprite would is important for female game developers. So I'd advocate for  a girl / female playable sprite. This would be so freaking cool my head would explode.
