Hello everyone,
This video is the third dev log for our new project which is a tool that will help us build better maps for our upcoming projects!

This video goes through 5 to 6 different updates including the removal of the grid size slider, which didn't really make sense as the size of blocks should be chosen in the app where it is rendered.
A profile creation button was added which generates files using a time stamp and a random number to ensure easy to find naming convention for the program and to keep the name separate from the displayed name. A delete button was also added which lets you actually remove the profile and all the maps and assets within it.
An export function was also added which can be toggled from basic to advanced mode on the map settings page. This lets you encode more information within your maps while the basic format reduces the information down to a character per block. All this in addition to a couple bug fixes was added since last dev log and the reason for the short nature of the video is the start of a new project the 1st of march which will involve the creation of a dungeon crawler with tons of new features.
The estimated length of the project will be of a couple months but because of the birth of my daughter really soon the estimate might be a little off.
Thank you all for watching and have a great day!
