So I'm working on an overworld...

DustyPorViva · #1 08-27-2008, 05:25 AM

For fun -- just to pass time.

There's not much done right now, but it's getting there slowly. As you can see, I'm adding on as I go... I ended up sketching up a rough outline as to what I'm doing so I at least have some direction. I didn't generate first or anything.

I'll post updates as I get there

Its an evil wizard upside down.

Looks like a man with a long beard actually.

WanDaMan · #4 08-27-2008, 08:54 AM

Wow, really nice design. Very impressive!!

Spark910 · #5 08-27-2008, 11:41 AM

I need to do this, haven't made a level in a long time

Looks nice so far!

Crono · #6 08-27-2008, 12:58 PM

Why you little LAT!

Vima · #7 08-27-2008, 01:54 PM

Looks like italy, but the wrong way. ;o

DustyPorViva · #8 08-28-2008, 05:42 AM

It's coming along slowly but surely

BTW, it is an odd layout... but I thought it'd be cool to try something a little different than the usual bulky, 'round' overworlds.

I like it. How are you generating the maps?

DustyPorViva · #10 08-28-2008, 06:16 AM

m + level editor?

If you don't mean that... I generated a blank(all water) gmap, then started filling it in. Very early on I found myself having no idea where to take it so I opened the map image in paint and scribbled a rough outline to follow. Because I already started the northern area with the beach, I followed that direction(which formed the crescent shape). It was completely random on my part.

Yes, I meant the large map image. I wasn't sure if you had a different way of generating them.

Nah, just the traditional pressing "M" while in editing mode.

Oh ya :P I always loved tall cliffs... but they're so damn time consuming!

DustyPorViva · #18 08-29-2008, 09:08 PM

Bumpdate.

edit: redid the rear facing cliffs with something I think looks a bit better

cbk1994 · #19 08-29-2008, 10:19 PM

Codein · #23 08-30-2008, 12:03 AM

Very nice indeed.

farte6 · #24 08-30-2008, 01:18 AM

I have no clue what your doing with those cliffs but I'm interested to find out. You certainly did not do what I would have done with them.

Switch · #25 08-30-2008, 01:24 AM

I love your good use of cliffs

Crono1508 · #26 08-30-2008, 04:14 AM

Dusty you're pretty amazing.
Does anybody call you utility man? If not, I will.

DustyPorViva · #27 08-30-2008, 08:04 AM

Thanks for the compliments

I'm having a lot of fun with the cliffs, except for the minor setbacks like misalignment and all(which usually end up with me having to redo a chunk of them.

I'm off to bed, so I guess I'll post what I've got for the night.
