    Default Map needed for a RPG sandbox game. Willing to pay

    The game is going to based off the Scandinavia region and the vikings. So need something that looks like that. Payment will be talk about with the people who are willing to work on the project. The game is a indie game being made by 5 guys who are in college and we have no clue on how to make a world map that looks good. I was tasked with making it, but have no clue how to. I describe what I am looking for more later with you. I was thinking of having it base off of this area. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

    It will be a world map for a game with at least 3 continents and with one of them being floating islands area for magic. Scale will be in the metric system please whatever works best you. May have you do close ups of regions within the world. that is depending on how we build the game and if we can just use a overhead map of the regions using the in game engine.


    Style

    I am looking for a norse styled map that shows mountains ranges, forest, rivers, and other key features. It can be either in color, color scheme is for more cold climate still can have green in there, or in a shaded style like older maps.

    Quality & Size

    semi professional
    web
    Dimensions of map: 2000x2000 is preferred by not require.
    Raster / Vector


    Time Constraints

    would like done in 2 weeks but can take longer if needed.

    Copyright

    We just need it so we can use it as a map for a game.


    Other

    Additional maps may be required at a later date so if you willing to do more that would be great to know.

    Hey Austin, could you provide an email adress? You can't use the boards' PM system unless you have made 5 posts.

    Also, could you provide a bit more information about the project, possibly as shown in this template post? You're bound the receive more responses that way.

    Hi Austin,

    Sounds like a great project, get in touch!
    I should say though that I'm far from the most experienced cartographer here but I'm interested to hear more.
    Recently I've been playing with methods to create vector maps that look like hand-made maps (and adding my own illustrations) so maybe I could be of use. Money is always great of course but the amount of work you'll need done will also need some consideration.

    Hi Clay,

    I've emailed you, as requested but so far no response.
    Maybe it got lost in the interwebs somewhere

    If you're still pondering who to give the job to I've been throwing some ideas together, not in a suitable style yet but the techniques seem to be working well.
    I've emailed some screen grabs to you.

    I think a rough and stylised look might be more appropriate for you, something angular and "game".
    Do you have any games you like the look of?

    I made a Futhark font years ago, I'm still trying to find it, but something like that would be useful for decorative edging or even map labelling.

    Also- I noticed your rough diagram has Sweden/Denmark "upside down", was just wondering why?
    Is it something historical?

    Cheers,

    Runninghead
