Revised Icon Set Suitable for Publishing One of the frequently asked questions is "Can I publish maps using Hexographer?" The short answer is that while Inkwell Ideas doesn't have a problem with that, there is no way to guarantee there won't be issues from others. Therefore, Inkwell Ideas has worked closely with artist Keith Curtis to develop an alternate set of icons. These icons are almost a one-for-one replacement of the default Hexographer icons. (A few icons are very simple and therefore didn't need to be replaced... a few others were added to Hexographer as/after Keith finished these--we may add more and anyone who purchases a set of icons can always get the updated set.) While they are different, we think anyone who loves the style will appreciate these new icons. See the sample to the right for the full list. Right-click the image and choose to view the image to see more detail. Like the default Hexographer icons, these are 250x250 transparent PNG images. Therefore, they should look nice scaled to print even as 1" hexes at 300dpi. You may not resell, give away or redistribute the icons except as part of a map (image, pdf, or print.) |

Quotes/Reviews"This program does everything I need an overland, hex-based mapping program to do. It allows me to produce high-quality, visually appealing maps with a minimum of effort and a very small learning curve... There is a forum for the program, and the support from [the developer] is outstanding." Full Review --Bob, Back to the Keep "Hexographer is a great, quickly acquired and configured, utility-rich cartography tool with an intuitive, beginner-friendly interface, and a very accessible price-point." Full Review --Ben McFarland, Kobold Quarterly "Within 15 minutes, I had drawn the terrain for my current campaign. In under an hour, the towns, roads, and rivers were added. The intuitive interface really made things simple, and the maps had an 'old school' vibe that reminded me of the original maps from the 1980s World of Greyhawk campaign setting." Full Review --Kurt "Telas" Schneider of Gnome Stew. "Whatever you play, look at Hexographer." --Frank Mentzer "I own [two other more expensive fantasy map programs] and got more done in my first couple of hours with Hexographer than I did after days with either of the those programs. I really appreciate the simplicity of Hexographer's user interface and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with it and where you take it. --Michael S-J. "It is the single most useful piece of mapping software for both fantasy world campaigns and sci-fi starmapping." --Maria F. "Hexographer is the best hex mapping software I've seen. Ever. It's highly customisable, it includes a bevy of useful features, it's regularly updated, and it's very easy to use... If you're one of the many GMs who liked hex maps all along, but couldn't find the right software to make them, Hexographer is the tool you've been looking for." Full Review --The Welsh Piper "Hexographer is a great little web-based java application that does exactly what it advertises - it allows you to quickly create hex maps in the older edition style - and it does it in a pretty easy to use interface... I've been able to use this hex [map] editor for both of my campaigns and I've been quite pleased at the results. I'm also REALLY psyched because I have run this in both Windows and Ubuntu..." --Michael Shorten (Chgowiz) |
