All Studio Plan subscribers get exclusive early access to select features and art packs before they are published.

Today we have a new map style as part of that benefit.

We're introducing Parchment 2.0, a brand new world style inspired by our classic Parchment style.

Parchment 2.0 is available alongside the existing Parchment style, giving you even more creative options for your worlds.

Creator and Studio plans are getting new additions across several Fantasy Battlemaps packs.

Orcs 2.0 Additions

Expand your orc settlements with new huts, tents, gates, fences, tribal decorations, spikes, rocks, stairs, and other camp building elements.

Castle 2.0 Additions

Build more detailed fortifications with new walls, crenellations, arches, gates, doors, roof variations, sandstone pieces, and wall junctions.

Traps & Puzzles 2.0 Additions

Design more interactive encounters with new trap mechanisms, symbols, and markings for dungeons and other adventure locations.

Have fun exploring the new additions!

We've expanded the Inkarnate Dashboard with a new collection of cloneable map templates designed to help new creators get started faster.

Each template features a common map scenario and can be cloned, customized, and built upon to fit your adventure.

These map templates were made so they are fully usable for Free users too, giving them a faster and easier way to begin creating maps.

We’ve introduced a brand new Dashboard experience to help you jump back into creating faster and discover more of what Inkarnate has to offer.

Here’s what you’ll find in our new Dashboard tab:

Quick Map Creation
Jump straight into the Editor with one click using our most common map settings, or create a custom map with your own settings.

Recent Maps
Quickly access your latest projects and continue right where you left off.

Video Tutorials
Learn tools, workflows, and mapmaking techniques with our official tutorial videos.

Marketplace Highlights
Discover asset packs, creators, and new content from the Marketplace.

Community Maps
Explore a selection of featured community maps from our built in Explore page.

Everything is now gathered in one place to make creating, learning, and discovering easier than ever.

Fantasy Battlemaps just got a fresh update.

We have added a couple of sets of newly revised trees, ferns and cobwebs to the Core 2.0 pack, available to everyone, including users on our Free plan.

We have also added new wall junction pieces to Fantasy Battlemaps packs, available on Creator and Studio plans, making it easier to clean up corners and connect walls while building. These are intended to be used in conjunction with walls created with our Line Tool.

Jump in and try them all out.

Inkarnate is coming to your Desktop!

Starting today, all users on our Creator and Studio plans can experience improved performance and a streamlined editing experience with our native desktop app.

It's currently available for Windows, and we're working on the Mac version as well.

📝 Note: Using the Desktop app also resolves some stability issues related to recent Chrome updates.

You can download the Desktop app here.

v1.64.0 

We released an update to the editor that finalizes the transition to our 2.0 custom layers system. All existing scenes will be automatically migrated to the new 2.0 custom layers build. No action required on your side. 

As part of this update, we have retired the Path tool. All of its functionality is now fully supported by the Color Mode of the Line tool, and all existing Path objects have been automatically migrated to Line objects to ensure full compatibility.
