  • Birdseye Continental - style development thread

    Ah, the Star Trek mountains (well, they're shaped a bit like the arrowhead badges anyway!) ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    You'll probably also need some longer sections of the main spine, and the lesser side-shoots too, to get something closer to the Himalayan "red" version - to give segments of both types that are lengthened without having turnouts along them.

    It's all a bit like trying to design a river system symbol tool as well - and if you crack it for the mountain ridges, it could perhaps be reworked to do that for rivers. Added complication is that the river channels aren't fixed-width along themselves, of course. Although neither are mountain ranges necessarily. So that's you designing Annual issues to cover all these possibilities every month now till what, 2027, Sue? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    The softer background does blend the volcanoes in more, but now maybe a bit too much. Given these are meant as really big volcanoes, they should be in the mountains, unfortunately!

    The oil-on-water texture for the lava (?) background is delightful, and looks really good. I'm not so sure it works as lava though... (I only come here to cause fresh problems ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜‰)

    Disappointed we've lost the pogoing were-elks now (yes, yes, I know those were just dots marking the lines of the trails-to-be, but even so ๐Ÿ˜‰)!

    And this is the Village of the where? Ah, no, it's the "were(-something-still-to-be-added)".

    Alderun Wood and Lake instead? Alder from the tree, and run from the river, say? And at a guess (knowing nothing much about Star Wars), Alderaan sounds likely a contraction of the real-world star-name Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus, the Bull.

    There aren't any rivers marked on the area map. Should I take these out?

    Up to you, but I'd say not, since the place needs a reliable water source, and the area map is truly vast, so small streams and even modest rivers, likely wouldn't feature.

    And were-elks will the were-elks get a drink ๐Ÿ˜‰?
