Project Update: Updates, Updates, Updates!
Well, somehow with the holidays, various life events, and working on Worldographer 2025 and releasing updates, I didn't actually post a status update here!
Sorry about that. I have been consistently sending out license codes every few days. We still get someone filling out a survey every day or two. If you haven't yet, please do! If everyone left does it today/tomorrow, then that means more time for me to work on the last bits of functionality. (It is easier to do 20 at once than 1 or 2 every few days.) If you need help, email me at support at inkwellideas dot com.
Hopefully you've been seeing the updates we have been making over the past several weeks via either the "Update Available" button in the Worldographer 2025 beta version, or in announcements to our Discord, or our newsletter, or mentions in our Youtube channel. Here is where to get it: https://worldographer.com/2025-preview-release/
Here is what's been done lately (these are just the highlights from the list of updates on that page--there are many more listed):

Here is what's been done lately (these are just the highlights from the list of updates on that page--there are many more listed):
- Various small UI improvements like better feature/terrain button layouts (see text at bottom of button).
- Dynamic Terrain - for Ring Lord icons, set up terrain to automatically place some matching random features so every hex is different.
- 30 new Isometric icons such as Primitive Village, Statue, Standing Stones, etc.
- World/Kingdom coast/empire/river/road/hex-crawl settings are now saved & reloaded.
At this point, I feel we're only a couple weeks from exiting the Beta stage. We'll be feature complete after I add more export options for notes; a couple new room types to the room generator; and the "generate multiple planets per system" feature. I might table the multiple planets feature for later in the year, but I'll look at it further before I decide.
Thanks again. And if you're not using the 2025 version, I highly encourage you to use it now.

Is there a way to edit Religions to include variables that fill in the missing information from Pantheons? I do not see a means to create a variable table for this information either. The Configure World & Name Data Religions tab does not allow for creation of other fields other than Domain. Thanks.

Anyone having this problem? The border keep disappearing. I end up have to delete and regenerate the whole thing.

Project Update: Licenses & Icons Sent!
I'm sorry that many of you didn't receive your licenses when I initially sent them. More than I was expecting seemed to have gone to spam. But the weekend of the 22-24th I did send them to all backers here who had completed their surveys by then. I then followed up almost every day after that for any late surveys--and I plan to continue that.
But as I said, many of you are reporting that you didn't get them. So I was struggling for another way to get them to you. Then I realized I can treat them as "Tracking numbers". So if you didn't get your license yet, you can log in to your Worldographer Backerkit account:
But as I said, many of you are reporting that you didn't get them. So I was struggling for another way to get them to you. Then I realized I can treat them as "Tracking numbers". So if you didn't get your license yet, you can log in to your Worldographer Backerkit account:
- Log in, then go to "Your Pledges & Surveys" from the drop-down menu when you click your "My Account" icon. This link should help you get there if you don't know where to log in.
- Find the "Worldographer 2025" survey link in the list (assuming you have more than one survey there, of course) and click that.
- To the right on the page that comes up is a pane titled "Survey" with the words "Your order has shipped". Below that is a "View order" link - click that.
- That brings you to the order page, at the top left of which under the "Track Your Package" section is the link with the download & install code. The install code has the following format: 2025-XXXXX-XXXXX It may get appended into the link text, but it should be there.
Or email us at [email protected] and we'll get them to you. (Hopefully you emailing us lowers the spam threshold.) Note that if you post "I didn't get my code" my answer will be "Email me." :) That said, if you have emailed and a day or two has gone by, please do post a comment or join our Discord and ask there because email isn't working.
We've also sent all the icon packs as DriveThruRPG links for anyone who backed for them. These were sent by/through DriveThruRPG, so hopefully they arrived more reliably. If not, email us at the same address and we'll figure out what went wrong.
If you'll be at PAX Unplugged this weekend, see us at booth #4118. Let us know what you'd like to see, ask any questions, and see what else we have there.
Finally, we've started a bluesky account. If you'd like to keep up with all our goings-on (sample maps, worldbuilding tips, Inkwell news, and reposting other great TTRPG advice) please follow us!
Happy Mapping!

First, is it possible with Worldographer to make a map with only a few hexes defined and then add new hexes as the PC's explore out from the "known area?" Second, I made a map of a small area, but now need to add columns and rows to the edge of that map. Can that be done with Worldographer?
