Other World Mapper V1.5 Coming Soon
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2026 4:47 pm
Hello Everyone!
I know we've been quiet for a LONG while. It's been a combination of personal reasons (mostly good things happening!) and development being stuck in a couple of big engine changes that we needed to make towards OWM 2.0. The big one is behind us, OWM changed its engine model to add the concept of a "viewport" so map sizes aren't arbitrarily limited any longer.
Beyond that, expect the change log to be over 100 items from bugs to new features in what we'll call OWM 1.5.
I originally estimated late this month for the release, but we don't make it. The update time frame is late August which is pretty certain (we considered releasing a beta with our current build, but I'm concerned with map version compatibility).
PS: In case anyone is wondering, the update to OWM 1.5 (and 2.0) will be free. We are not considering making it a paid update.
Thank you!
