The program’s primary use is the creation of top-down tactical-scale battlemaps for use in RPGs, whether the maps will be printed for use in face-to-face game sessions, or will be used in any of a number of virtual tabletop programs (such as Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, Foundry VTT, etc). This low-cost and easy-to-use map-making software originally focused on creating gorgeous high-resolution tactical-scale battlemaps, but was eventually expanded to also support the creation of hex-tile maps and isometric maps.
