May wrap-up

Hey folks,
Time for a little May recap – and oh boy, it’s been a packed one!

First off, I spent most of this month deep in the trenches, refining https://dranskybattlemaps.com/ . After a ton of optimization and tweaks, I think we finally got it to a place where it loads fast, looks good, and most importantly – makes it super easy for patrons to find exactly the maps they're looking for. There will be more improvements in the future, but it's in a solid state now.

Next up, Serene Lake!
This one started out as a “quick little map” and somehow turned into a fully illustrated set with multiple variations. Classic, right? If you missed it, here’s the link again:

Another exciting bit – I’ve officially opened up a new tier: Legend.
This one is for those of you who really want to throw in that extra boost behind this project. It’s not about rewards – it’s about support, and I’m endlessly grateful for it.

And of course, I can’t forget about Halls of Tides.
This dungeon is shaping up to be massive – a layered, dangerous complex where each room has its own unique vibe. The idea is to release the full dungeon as one big map, but also to share each chamber as its own standalone map, giving you the freedom to run it however you like. I’m so excited to keep working on this one – it’s probably the most ambitious dungeon I’ve ever attempted.

And finally… something more personal: I’m going to be a dad.
Yep. That happened. It still feels surreal to even write it here, but it’s a huge part of my life right now and I’m incredibly happy to share this bit of news with you.

So yeah – a lot going on. And honestly, this is only half of what I want to share, because plans for June and the summer months are already cooking... but that’ll come in the next post.

Until then – thank you. All of you. For your support, your kind messages, your feedback, and for making this project possible month after month. You’re awesome!

Also, a special shoutout to the new and returning Champion patrons – your names are featured in the artwork attached to this post. Thank you for stepping up and supporting this adventure in such a big way.

Cheers!
