Town Map Generator

To celebrate the final approach to a new milestone on patreon, it's the Town Map Generator!

Towns required a total rewrite. As I'm sure many a medieval planner discovered, once your settlement reaches a certain size it becomes a soupy mess of roads and buildings if you allow it to continue growing organically. Thus, the city block™ is born. Smaller villages and hamlets will still use the old method, since I like their quaint feel, but larger settlements will hopefully use this new method and I won't discover some nightmare incompatibility that sends me down another rewrite rabbit hole. I feel like this is an appropriate time to thank you for your support! A project like this would not normally be viable using traditional methods.

New in this release are custom houses with randomized colors and shapes that fit into neater blocks and streets. You can still click on every single house to see a map and descriptions of the interior. Larger buildings, such as temples and markets can now be generated as well which should help give each town some more interesting landmarks to visit. Trees and other foliage now do a better job of dotting the streets and can create some nice natural-looking districts. Docks scatter along the shore if your town is situated on the coast to create a bustling port.

All the old features are still there, you can still morph the terrain and make an arctic or desert town if you wish, and both of those have received an updated look to make the houses fit in with the different aesthetic.
