Drisius' Map(ping and Mapping Accessories)

[Dries390]

I've been revisiting my map recently while working on Remere extensions and I thought some people might like this concept. I present The Dream (patent pending), a zone that is procedurally generated on server startup.



A seemingly abandoned farmhouse seems to harbor a portal to a much more interesting place.



Virgil, the guardian of this strange place, wanders nearby...



A place where all logic seems to go straight out the window.



The edge of the Dream.

A roadsign to Rahahet, except it seems to be ... slightly off.



A door?



This looks like Gallywain, the first town you visit on your adventures, but different.



This tavern used to be a lot more cheerful...



A bed, wonder where this one leads?

Seems like we're back in normal Gallywain, what a convenient way to travel. If you know how!



Non-dream Gallywain for reference.



The map and door locations reset when the server is restarted.

Hey, maybe you'll like this as i made it one day, sorry for quality, one day i'll fix this:
It is jungle trip when you lick a toad, eat poisonous soup etc. i also made as you some mixage of contrasting elements and i think it may inspire you a little, as for sure your dream part lacks of bit ground borders

it kinda seems like we're just looking at empty ground for the most part here 🤔🤔🤔

Very cool concept, watched it multiple times and I'll definitly keep it saved somewhere!

Yeah, it was more an exercise of seeing if I could procedurally generate a zone in any consistent fashion; could probably use a bit more detail, which I'll definitly look into in the future. I'm currently writing new functions for bordering in Remere, I could probably recycle those once they're done.

I went back and added some basic tiling + bordering and I think it looks much more finished now. It still tends to randomly generate rather large empty spots but I'm sure fiddling with the parameters will fix this.

Your mapping style reminds me of @Neon

I can see the resemblance but i reckon this guys way better

I almost feel offended for @Dries390. That joke of an old mapper @Neon has nothing on this beautiful artwork!
100% agree with Sharp.
Keep on practicing dude, you'll be compared to real mappers in no time!

Much of this stuff is procedurally generated though (everything with purple tiles) meaning I actually had very little (nothing) to do with it.

The other stuff, like most of my map, needs detailing. I'm currently trying to get Remere's to automatically do "hand-crafted" borders and then I'll probably go back and really try and put in the level of detail I want, I just loosely laid down big portions of the land to work on during the pandemic and see where what was going to be.

@Neon is still leagues ahead of me, he has nothing to fear lol, but thanks for the compliments.

I was going to show something I had actually made (mostly) by hand, a very neat idea I find personally. Looking back at it however, the clash of new sandstone textures just kind of makes me want to puke. The picture I added illustrates what I mean; That's supposed to be ~3 floors or so (can't even tell) and everything just seems to melt together to form an incoherent mess.
