[WIP] IMD Massive District: a full-size map project

[trubetz]

Hello everybody

I decided to post some pictures of a big map I am working on in collaboration with Valps and DustedandBlue. The project was started off at the end of April, and right now we are 1/3rd to halfway through. The name of the map is IMD, which expands recursively as IMD Massive District. Enjoy the views!

1. The save spot and the central railway station

I thought I could make the trains in the map more useful than just a means to look for tokens and KFs, but five months down it's more or less clear this isn't working out.

2. A park in the Russian area by DustedandBlue

We're having several gangs come back in IMD; here is a piece of the Russian neighborhood, which is going to be slightly more diverse than in Industrial but probably just as shabby.

3. The Tree of Life

The Krishna will be there too; their area will be much greener this time. This structure (which hopefully at least someone recognizes as a tree) was my attempt at unconventional use of bil.sty tiles; as you might guess, this is where mission phones will be too.

4. Posh buildings by Valps


When it comes to nuanced architecture, Valps is definitely the best of us three; here is a rich neighborhood in the farthest corner from Russians. This has the most architectural details and clever use of shadow filters. The amount of passages and walkways is crazy too.

I am not posting the map yet, because at this point we'd rather bring the map to a full alpha version before. However, I hope to post more updates once a month until we're finished. Keep in touch, comrades!
