Tackling the Beast: Drafting up Map17 to 19
Added 2020-12-15 23:44:51 +0000 UTCI have begun the long journey of planning Map17, 18 and 19. This is definitely the biggest chunk of level design I've worked on so far, so it will be a tough challenge to pull out. I really need to put my best talents at work here, and get something on Gothic's level of open-ish map design (especially the aspect of exploration, expansion and backtracking being tied in with meaningful quests).
So far I am planning to sketch out chunks of the wilderness and then switch to mapping them out, then back to sketching further and so on. This should help me get a general feel of things, so expect me to post sketches and screenshots these weeks.
