Sneak Peek - The Stretching Room
Added 2024-10-24 17:00:05 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Halloween is almost upon us and each year I enjoy making a special seasonal map that has close ties to me personally. Last year, I created this Día de Muertos map in honor of my wife's culture and this year I wanted to create something from my childhood.
One of my favorite attractions at Disney is the Haunted Mansion, so I've decided to create a map inspired by the iconic "stretching room" as you descend into the ride. If you have never seen it, you should look it up on YouTube as there are a few videos with the narrator, and it's such a perfect mix of spooky and charming!
Of course, what makes this room unique are the "stretching" portraits on each wall, which slowly turn from sweet to morbid as they stretch to their full height. Since these are the focal points of this map, I commissioned the incredibly talented "Caleb is Drawing" to custom create four unique portraits for me, which will be displayed in all their glory on this multiple-phased map!
The map will have 3 "stretching" phases, the iconic window silhouette, and hanging skeleton shadow from above! I'm working on a few narrative prompts to give you some ideas on how you can insert this map into your own game.
I can't wait to share the map and Caleb's incredible art with you on Monday! See ya then.
Cheers,
DM Andy

For my Birthday, my wife got me a parchment poster of a side view schematic of the entire Disney Haunted Mansion, which of course, is inspiring my next manor map :P
