I will only know which one when I've found the time to try them all for myself.

Wow! That's quite a wall of text there, Quenten. Unfortunately, I really don't have time to read much (if any) of it.

I think the main use for this annual will be flooded dungeons - places that have been lost to rising sea levels.

That's the main decision to be made.

I'm leaning heavily towards flooded 'normal' dungeon with added symbols, such as fish, sharks, octopus etc.

At least this time around.

We have to start somewhere ;)

Thank you DoubleDouble :)

Yes, this is very true. And you could even use the ripple texture that I've made for this new style if you wanted.

Did you know there was a video to go with that map?

@Wyvern - I never saw your comment when I made this one! I must have been looking for the video link above.

The whole concept of underwater fantasy mapping has been very neglected, even though the scope for different types of submerged dungeon maps (using dungeon only loosely as a scale indicator) is just as great or greater than the scope of different types of above water dungeon maps. From where I am standing right now this is actually a sort of handicap. Which way to go? I will have to chose pretty soon, or waste valuable time hesitating or changing my mind.

I am tempted to go for a straightforward sunken dungeon right now - something that will be useful in RPG. Though of course I still have lots of stuff to do aside from the usual stuff, like rocks and weed and fish, and sharks, and... and now you can see how this could quickly get right out of control.

With Darklands handed over to Ralf we have decided on a new project.

A marine dungeon style.

I'm right at the beginning here, but despite the lack of symbols there's been a lot of hidden work getting the textures and sheet effects to work together.
