v21.1 Grass Whistle - A Procedural World Map Generator 0.1.0

Hey everyone!


Last week, I shared my procedural Pokémon map generator — Grasswhistle — and the community feedback was awesome. Today I'm happy to announce V2, which I'd consider the feature-complete release.

What's new:

• Double Tile Cliffs : Maps can now feature the popular cliffs format that span two tiles in height, giving your terrain much more visual depth and making elevation changes feel more natural and polished compared to the single-tile cliffs.
• Custom Assets : You can now drop in your own tilesets and assets instead of being locked to the defaults that were packaged in V1. The tileset does need to be imported in the correct orientation and format, but it's pretty standard and no-doubt very similar to your existing tile sheet.
• In-app Documentation : There's now a dedicated help page built right into the app. No more digging through the README or guessing how something works mid-session.
• Additive Export Mode : When exporting to Pokémon Essentials, you now have two options: Overwrite replaces everything in your project folder with the generated output, while Additive intelligently merges the new maps and data into your existing project without disturbing anything else
• Lots and lots of bug fixes.

One thing dropped: the in-app tile editor. After thinking it over, I made the call to cut it. As a solo developer working on this in my free time, there was no realistic path to building something that could compete with tools like Aseprite. Aseprite exists. Use Aseprite.

With V2 out, I'm stepping back from active development, though I'll stick around for bug reports and critical fixes. The full source is on GitHub — fork it, mod it, make it yours.

Happy World Making!

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on V1. This release wouldn't exist without it.
