EDIT:
Quick question: What are the differences between the "Annotation," "Interactive," "Effects," and "Features" options?

Nothing really they're all markers, I've just grouped them like that to try and help the user. I plan to add more icons to these categories over time.

Here's an export of my first GC2 map:









It's a two-level guard/jailhouse, with a secret bunker in the basement and a small watchtower on one corner. There are notes for everything, including D&D stats for every door and the contents of every chest.

Going from the top (of the list, but the bottom of the building), we have:

• The basement (with secret bunker and high security cells)
• The main floor (with guard rooms, storage, and low security cells, one of which has a secret door in it)
• The second floor (with the sheriff's/captain of the guard's room)
• The watchtower (with a supply chest)

If anyone's interested, I could upload the map file here.

Hey everyone. I've just released v2.0.5, a free update focused on improved grid settings.

Adjustments to the major grid size now allow for any size from 2 to 64 tiles in either axis independently. You can also limit the grid to a number of major tiles along both axes (instead of just 1 tile as in past versions). Changes have also been made to enhance the axis values settings.

I've also added the shortcut CTRL+Enter (CMD+Enter on Mac OSX) to complete a note without needing to click the tick button on the UI.

Congrats!

I recently heard that Steam Greenlight is going away, though.

[Hidden Asbestos]

Thanks!

Yeah it is going away in a few weeks, I think - but right now Greenlight is the only option to get on Steam so I'm going with it until we're told more about Steam Direct. Fingers crossed!

[Hidden Asbestos]

Hooray, Greenlight was successful! Thanks for the votes everyone.
