Ooo! I'm excited! I've been checking back here frequently... now I have renewed hope.

If I am bugging you too much you can totally ask me to stop! Let's talk windows... I didn't want to just ask you to add them without making a suggestion. If you look at the attached picture: A is your normal wall unit locked to the grid at 100% size. It sits in the middle of two squares hanging onto a little bit of each. When I started thinking about how to add windows I felt that the walls needed to be enlarged first (B). I then used the basis floor tile on a different layer to make the two lines for the window (C). Only when I exported this into MS Paint was I able to extract the unwanted lines. This is a step I would prefer to do within your program, and it is possible with the addition of one very simple object: a white tile with no black lines the same size as a standard floor tile. This would be able to be used as an eraser and allow us to do more fine editing inside your program.
In the second picture I drew a random dungeon and used the MS Paint transparency to place it over the grid and paint the surrounding background white. This was easier and faster, but less precise than I want it to be. My question is: Are there any plans for free drawing cave walls within your program?
Let's talk caves... In this first picture I initially though the cave tiles were supposed to be used like in exhibit A and floor tiles were to be added as in exhibit B. After looking at your picture I realized my thoughts were inverted and I designed my cave in exhibit C with results that I did not like at all. I then created the grid and used the MS Paint crayon to create the cave I desired (D) and removed the walls (E). This was the desired effect, but it was a bit more time consuming than I would have liked. (Continued in second comment)
So far I really like this... enough to spend the money on it. Will objects be able to be scaled even larger? I'd love a staircase that takes up more than one square and a wine barrel that takes up the entire grid square. Also, is there a reason why I can't go full screen? This is the most (only) annoying part here.
