RobA, thanks for putting together this excellent list of map-making software.
Would it be possible to add my MapForge application to the list? It’s not an already-shipping product, but it’s been successfully funded since day 1 of the Kickstarter campaign, so it’s definitely coming to market, probably near the end of July 2017.
Here’s the info for the list, in case the answer is yes.
Title: MapForge
Vendor: Battlegrounds Games
Web Site: http://www.mapforge-software.com/
Type: Raster & Tile Based
Focus: 2D top-down mapping, generally at the tactical battlemap scale
Platform: Windows 7-10 & Mac OS X (no native Linux support, but should be usable with WINE or Virtualbox)
Price: $30 ($25-27 during the current Kickstarter campaign)
Description:
Locally-installed application intended for creating great-looking maps quickly and easily, either from scratch, with the help of a random generator, and/or using professional content Add-Ons. Offers support for layers, textures, and bitmap filter effects (e.g. drop-shadows, glows, blur, color/contrast/brightness adjustments, and bevel effects); Ten free content Add-Ons provide a great “Starter Kit”, usable without a license; huge selection of additional professional content Add-Ons for sale, some of which can be used for published or commercial map projects; supports print resolution as well as VTT resolution; artistic talent and technical skills not required.
Examples:
Dungeon,
Tropical Island, more coming soon
Also, if you scroll down a little bit on
my website's Links page, there is a decent list of other map-making software that you might wish to add to your list.
