Fantastic Art Studio’s Black Box Map Maker Coming to Kickstarter

Get ready to unfold a new era of map making as Fantastic Art Studios has announced their new AI-powered software, Black Box Map Maker, developed using the latest gaming technology aimed to help players embark on the ultimate RPG journey. Created by longtime RPG aficionados, Black Box Map Maker is a powerful and immersive software that lets users create highly detailed 3-D animated rendered maps for campaigns of all sizes. A [l1|Kickstarter campaign] will start on November 9 and RPG fans can look forward to the Black Box Map Maker arriving later this year.

A unique fusion of art, innovation, and technology, Black Box Map Maker allows Game Masters and RPG players alike to create maps filled with intricate details that bring their storytelling to life. Choose from an impressive number of themes - including Medieval Fantasy, Cthulhu, Cyberpunk, Valhalla -, scenarios/rooms and digital props available in the RPG industry to create the perfect aesthetic with ultra-realistic graphics.

In addition, the user-friendly AI allows players to enjoy the Fantastic Art Studios miniatures in digital format.

Interactive details make Black Box Map Maker’s maps even more lifelike: turn lights on and off, open and close doors, or let in a rolling layer of fog to add a little more atmosphere to the proceedings. Enhance scenes even further with music and special effects such as hidden traps, magic portals, torches, filters, skins, and more. What’s more, players can create new props that can be saved and shared with community members.
