Some of you may already know I've been hard at work learning new software and with that, also created a dozen useful tools to make the process of map making more fun, more engaging, less guesswork.
Last summer I started a new map to test new tools, and it's been captivating! I'm still adding to the Buildings of Norway pack which will update Rennebu, but also be used in the new map.
The new map is called..
It is based on a real place in Norway. I've only driven through the valley twice, and what captivated me about this location is the meandering river, and the farmlands which have adapted to the shape of the river and mountains.
The map is 4x (sorry, no console version)
I'll share some screenshots from the progress.
This very last screenshot is just minutes old, fresh from the press. It shows how important the extension of the playable terrain is.
A few testers have already got access, and I await a couple more to join. Gameplay wise I think the map holds up pretty well.
There's more to do, but mainly visually. Adding more buildings, painting ground textures and placing trees and foliage.
That's all for now.
