About this game
Canvas of Kings is a minimalistic mapmaking tool that focuses on randomness and auto-generated elements on user-definable and interactive paths, plots and rooms.
Use flexible paths and plots
You can define your map with paths and plots that you can adjust at any time. The automatic object placement supports you. In this way, you can directly create a wall with towers or simply an entire forest.
Place lovingly hand-drawn objects
Instead of placing and adjusting individual objects, you can randomly vary the object properties directly and use object categories to create a varied map without extra effort. The objects can also be combined. For example, you can place crates on towers or walls and move them together.
Customise the lighting and weather
Use the built-in lighting and weather system to change the atmosphere of your map the way you like it. Configure different details or simply choose a template.
Export a definable area, with or without a grid
Create an export area and a square or hex grid how and where you want. You can export parts or the whole map for print or digital use. You can also save your settings as a template for future maps.

About the developer and this tool
I'm actually working on a trading simulation called Might of Merchants alongside my family and full-time job. For this I have developed some tools. I was asked if I could publish them. So I put in some work and created this software. It's not perfect and not finished yet, but I would be very happy if you use it and thus support my work.
Your feedback is very welcome!
You can find examples of maps built with Canvas of Kings in the Steam Workshop and on my Discord.
An additional license for the commercial use of maps created with Canvas of Kings is not required.

- Create animations
- There are certainly other things... :)
