Maps of NESing V

Sifaus · Apr 17, 2013

Mapmaking is actually not that hard. There was a site named Cartographers Guild back in the day, I learned everything from there. I'm not sure if its still up but I'd suggest any mapmaker to visit that site and look at some of the tutorials. The basic stuff is really easy to learn.

Could someone make me an original fantasy map? Preferably a single continent with some islands surrounding. Rivers and lakes would be good, but I could add them in myself if you don't do them.

It would be awesome if you could do this.

Has anyone used this before?

I'm trying it for a WIP NES concept and it's quite good.

EDIT: @Arrow Gamer: How about this? It's from the generator:

I have definitely used this before.

I guessed it might have been used before - it's the first result in Google for 'fractal world generator' - but I thought it was worth reposting in case it was a first.

Tried messing around with that generator and got this.

Spoiler :

It seems like it would have a large cradle area and plenty of options for naval strategy.

Some more maps from that generator that I think would be fun in an NES:

Spoiler :

In case you haven't noticed, I'm having fun with it

EDIT: For some reason they change every time I try to edit this post.... weird o.o

This one demands naval combat with of course vital control of certain chokepoints:

He who controls Antarctica controls the World Island. He who controls the World Island controls the world.

I've tried using that one before, but I was never quite satisfied with how it turned out, to be honest. It tends to either look like overkill or supercontinents, you don't often get multiple continents with decent shapes...

Gem Hound · May 21, 2013

This one is decent in my books. It... changed...

Edit: deleted it.

Optical · May 22, 2013

This is the one I'm working on:

Spoiler :

It wasn't too bad. You have to tinker with the settings a bit to get good ones.

edit: Well, now I know I won't be uploading the final one as a .png

Looks really nice! What is it? A map? A NES? Both?

Optical · May 22, 2013

It's a map for my new NES.

Optical · May 23, 2013

Finished (for now) maps:

Looks awesome! Needs background!

Optical · May 23, 2013

I'm working on it!

I'm guessing a colonization of another world by major Earth powers

Well, it is called "Analogue Earth" and is in 2817 AD/411 Analogue.

That's certainly part of it

I'll be posting some stuff in the NES development thread as soon as I have it, and a pre-thread is also incoming, so keep an eye out.
