This isnt mine. I deserve none of the credit, that's for the guys and girls who make it.

It is however, amazing. Makes fantasy worlds, populated them with loads of customisable stuff and makes a lovely map.

It is great. Also somehow free

August 26, 2023 -

I’ve been writing my own fantasy novel for two years now. I have about 275 manuscript pages written. I’ve drawn maps for my world building however I want to take my map to the next level. I have browsed the internet for the best map making software. These days you can’t rely on reviews from the consumer site. Can anyone help me out with a recommendation for map making software? I would appreciate any input from those with wisdom and experience using such software.

r/mapmaking on Reddit: Can someone please help me find a fantasy map creator?
January 20, 2025 -

Hi, can someone please help me find an app or website to make a fantasy map? I want to try my hand a writing, and i have so many ideas, but i really want to be able make a layout of my world first.

Im looing for something to help me create world maps, kingdoms/countries, towns, etc.

I dont want anything AI generated that i cant change or cant control the change, but something i can edit myself like adding an island or adjusting the layout of the lands, rivers, kingdoms, and biomes. It would also help if i could add notes to specific names or lands.

I know this is probably a lot, but please and thank you guys! Im perfectly fine using multiple apps/websites for different things like towns/kingdom layouts and world building!

Does anyone have any good recommendations for free mapping software or online programs? I'm kind of terrible at drawing by hand, but need to make a map for my current WIP. Any ideas would be appreciated!

In your experience, what world map generator (free or otherwise) has given the most naturalistic results? I'm not opposed to paying for map software if it gives good results.

Nortantis is a free, open source fantasy map generator I made. It uses a tectonic plate simulator to generate landmasses. If you want a world-sized map, use a large “World size” when creating the map, along with a low “Edge land probability” and a high “Center land probability”. A couple weeks ago I released a new version with a re-worked UI and installers for Windows and Ubuntu Linux.

My method is to jump back and forth between Azgaar and Donjon and screenshot all the shapes I like - I find Donjon better for large, Earth-like continental masses and Azgaar better for large islands and archipelagos. Then I slap them together in whatever photo editor I have handy, and that's my first draft. I typically ignore any topology that's generated; I'd rather work out some tectonics myself and put in my mountains that way, but that's just me. Knowing a thing or two about tectonics will also let you spot any parts of the map that look unlikely to occur naturally, so you can revise it for future drafts. I make heavy use of tools like MapToGlobe - make sure your map's image file is exactly twice as wide as it is tall (known as the square/rectangular projection - Donjon can generate this for you) and you can upload it (Planet > Surface) and see what it looks likes on a sphere. You can do the same thing in GPlates , which is clunky to use at first, but is much easier to draw borders on, allowing you to trace your map and edit the shapes of your landmasses to avoid warping at the poles. A basic guide on using GPlates is here . If you're like me and you're feeling really neurotic about it I've done some ridiculous stuff like printing off the shapes I want, sticking them to my computer screen, cranking the brightness and tracing the outline in GPlates, but I realize that's overkill for most people haha. Good luck!

There's also GIMP (completely free), but to be honest I found that much harder to get a decent map from. Good luck! Shoutout to coffee, wi-fi, & ambition! (Nothing would be done otherwise.)

Hey guys, i just want to let you know that Azgaar has some troubling with his time (full time job, AI upcoming project) so any volunteering from some of us to further support his freeware would save the project from being stagnaned. If you can raise his patreon subscribers (200/500 currently) with any way, he is willing to quit his job and focus more on this, crucial for the worldbuilding community tool.

This is his PATREON

And this is the TOOL

Hi everyone! I’m the creator of Fantasy Town Generator, a free tool for generating fantasy settlements, from tiny hamlets to large cities. You can create a settlement in seconds, and then explore the buildings and people that have been created for you.

Some key features:

  • Many map options - rivers, coasts, districts, walls, and more

  • Clickable buildings - see what each one is, what it sells, and who’s currently there

  • Detailed people - appearance, personality, relationships, and stats

  • Time simulation - change the time of day and people will move around

  • Factions & events - secret meetings, conflicts, and story hooks for DMs

  • Fully customizable - edit everything, including the map, or start from a blank canvas

  • Foundry VTT and Roll20 integration - share maps with players for interactive sessions

It’s free, and no login is required unless you want to save settlements to the cloud. Note, there is a premium tier that unlocks unlimited settlements and some other features.

I’ve been working on this as a passion project for the last few years, and I’m still actively working on it. You can join the discord to get regular updates and share feedback: https://discord.com/invite/RrUNpebjGD

I’d love to hear what you think, and I’m happy to answer any questions!
