    Wip Game world - The Eleventh

    Ok, so this is one of my first world-fantasy-maps done so far. I made it for freeware fantasy game named the-eleventh - check introductions for further information.
    This is rough WIP.. it definitelly isn't final version!
    These are old colored versions of the map: http://www.the-eleventh.com/files/images/worldmap.jpg http://www.the-eleventh.com/files/images/worldmap_4.jpg
    Check attachments for the new versions.. Tell me which do you like more and some criticism would be greatly appreciated.

    Since your whole world is 3D, have you thought about doing the map / terrain in 3D too ? Generally most of us here make a terrain map in 3D and use different software to color it up based on heights and stuff. Doing rivers in 3D is much easier than 2D cos to some extent you can get the PC to calculate the correct positions for them.

    In my sig is my GeoTerSys. Theres also another link to the keyword index where you can lookup Wilbur and Fractal Terrains for maps. Theres a whole bunch of software to do 3D terrains tho like L3DT, GeoControl, GlobalMapper, WorldMachine etc. Once you have some good terrain then Terragen is pretty good at getting some neat procedural textures applied to it. A chap of your skill should be able to handle any of these no problem.

    EDIT -- on another point, your rivers in your maps are pretty wacky. Theres some tutorials about for doing rivers with proper physics. I think they would help out a lot.

    Yeah, rivers are WIP.. But I want to talk about the map in general.. Would you like to explore such map.. or what would you change if you were me? What would you add maybe?

    The only thing, aside from rivers, that I would even think about changing is that some of those big islands seem to be too close to that main landmass. It's your world so if you like it then that's cool. The long rivers that start near a coast and flow all the way across to the other side I'd cut in half so that all coasts get a river or two. The color versions look pretty good and the overall shapes look good. Good start.

    Definitely prefer the blue over the grey background.

    Hello once again. It has been a long time since I last posted here!

    The project has gone a long way and we started to write a design document for it right now which talks about gameplay, world, lore, game mechanics and story. Let me know if you want to work with us on that part!

    Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for the project right now, because I'll be doing school leaving exam in 2 months time, but I just wanted to let some of you who posted here know how's it going. ;-)

    We hope to get some team together after we have map editors and material editors, since it's hopeless to do something this big without such things.

    Here are some important renders from the city of Rocvalley, where the demo will take it's place:
