Update to 2025.11.4 & Steam Release On The Way!
Hey dungeon rats and CRT gremlins — Ruinwright just leveled up.
Here’s what’s new:
🧾 Flexible Exports
You can now export your maps as PNG, JPG, or JSON.
Use this to:
-
Build quick 3D blockouts in engines like Unity or Godot
-
Print those suckers out using any graphics program!
-
Kick off prototypes without redrawing your maps
Ruinwright still feels like graph paper—but now it plugs into your dev pipeline.
🕸️ Lines! (Beyond the Grid)
Not every game sticks to neat squares.
Lines lets you:
-
Draw lines between rooms for irregular layouts
-
Map text adventures, Sierra-style games, and non-grid worlds
-
Scale lines to highlight main paths, side routes, or odd connections using the wheel mouse
If you’ve ever drawn boxes and arrows in a notebook to follow a weird game, this will feel familiar—just upgraded.
⌨️ Quick Keys & Scroll QOL
Mapping should be fast and responsive.
In v4 you can:
-
Use the numpad to flip tiles while you map
-
Use the mouse scroll wheel along with the Shift key to change tiles without stopping
Less clicking around, more mapping.
📍 Notes on the Map
Room nodes still handle detailed notes (puzzles, keys, NPCs, etc.), but now you can also:
-
Drop quick notes directly on the map
-
Scale those notes to be subtle or bold using the wheel mouse
-
Combine them with room-node notes for extra clarity
Warnings, hints, routes, reminders—right where you need them.
🐛 Bug Fixes & Polish
v2025.11.4 also includes:
-
Various small bug fixes
-
Smoother behavior in tools and modes
-
A general pass to make Ruinwright feel more stable and reliable
