I am looking for advice on places i can sell game maps.
Looking at doing area's like towns, vilages etc and thn either spliting up and outputing mp4 videos and or stills. like sets of the whole area. and maybe selling sets of complete videos or stils, or selected routes etc (kind of a tier thing).I use a projector to place them on the game table.
So what are my options, and is this something people would pay for (if priece is right etc)
any advice / comments are cool..

for example a town i drew up as a test, needs some trees and the market in town square, ooo and other boxes and barels etc.
This is then viewed from top down and dumped out as tiles.
I don't have the answers to your questions. Sorry. I did want to say that what you have posted is incredible. I mean, really good stuff. We usually have access to a TV with our game and that looks like it would be a lot of fun to help visualize. As we don't have a tabletop screen yet, it would be harder to transition what we see to the table.
Cost is a much harder question. I would absolutely pay for it, but that does depend on how much. Also, I think the follow up question would be the platform. IOS, Mac, Windows?
I currently pay for maps, so I think people definitely might! Your stuff looks pretty neat!
I'm an IRL DM and I really like having printed battlemaps. Early in the campaign I made my own with http://www.yeoldemapmaker.com/ but it was slow and not very aesthetically pleasing. Eventually I found a guy on patreon that publishes a map every few days and joined as a patron; now whenever I want a map I search through his archives for something.
So that's definitely a business model that exists. I'm sure there are others, there's probably places to sell a map at a time.
Of course, building an audience is incredibly hard, I've got no tips for how to do that.
thanks .. at the moment the game engine is running on win 10, but as the frawework allows mac etc i am sure it would work. but if i dump out stills or mp4's it would be un os spercific.
My plan atm, is tiered (low cost) aka
1. a set of 4 maps still or video
2. whole thing in stills or videos (but dividing 1 square mile of map into mp4's would make ALOT of gig .. :)
3 the game top down engine. tt has zoom in out pan left right up down etc. and working on day night control (or time of day). and grid options (on/off, square hex etc..)

This seemed eerily familiar to the 'Four Points Market" by TheFrostyMug on Tabletop Simulator (Steam)
