Hello everyone, I have an idea to make a map with fog of war, when you walk you explore new areas and points of interest but you can't see unexplored areas. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, what is your opinion?

This exists! https://fogofworld.app/

It’s a great idea, yours sounds a bit more restricted in viewing which I think is cool

FWIW I don't want to pay $30, so you still have a market!

There's also an app for iPhone that's similar, called Super Local. Don't let it get you down -- look at what features these are missing and implement your own! All sorts of visual designs, custom mapping, all kinds of stuff could be done :)
