Cyberpunk has become such a broad category! I hear the term and the first thing that comes to mind is Shadowrun - it was my introduction to cyberpunk when FASA first published it in the (late 80's? early 90's?). But then there's also Blade Runner (released pre-Shadowrun but not discovered by me 'till after I played Shadowrun and became interested in the genre). Now we've got Altered Carbon, which leans more heavily to the science fiction side, but still has strong cyberpunk elements - especially in the first book of that series.

So for me, a cyberpunk style needs three different "looks" for its map assets:

1. Gritty streets and alleys, with debris and trash, flickering street lights and neon lights. Some of these would be isolated/empty back alleys, and some would be crowded, with lots of storefronts, shops, etc.
2. Slick, modern buildings and skyscrapers where the corps exist. Office buildings, luxurious homes. Maybe varying degrees of Oriental influence, since many cyberpunk settings (from my youth, at least) seem to feature tech takeovers by the far eastern cultures.
3. Not necessarily unique to Shadowrun, but certainly first encountered there by me, "back to nature" assets for those storylines that feature the conflict between the natural (and supernatural) world and the encroachment of technology. These could be harvested from other styles, of course - there are already tons of fantasy style assets out there since fantasy type maps are so prevalent.

It could easily become one of the "two annual" styles - maybe a "Cyberpunk Street Chum" and a "Cyberpunk Corp" style, each focused on one element of the overall genre.

Would anyone besides me be interested in a post apocalyptic style? Gamma World, I am Legend, Gears of War, Mad Max, The Book of Eli, Hell Divers... Or any one of a number of other movies, books or games.

Grungy, barren, mutated plants and animals, destructed beauty, hot zones, crumbled streets, destroyed by tsunamis, moon cracked by meteor impact, full on humanity struggling to survive post apocalypse?

I'd love to see an annual for this!

I stumbled across this gem in my recommendations on Amazon. I'd never heard of it before, and just in case anyone on these forums has missed it I thought I'd post it up. Fascinating stuff!

Well done!

The number of things this program can do that I either forget about or never glom onto is amazing. I didn't know until reading this thread that CD can generate linked floorplans straight from the map! What a cool feature!
