New Lost Islands Map - the Northern Seas
« on: March 24, 2013, 01:31:12 PM »

It's almost time for a new map. This one will be another fantasy map, but instead of palm trees and adventures in paradise, this one is set in the northern seas, with dark, dense pine forests and forbidding coastlines.

The map is just about finished. There is little work left, except for the bane of map-makers - the large cities. The screenshots are mostly of landscapes. They were made during the early stages of the map making, but in the meantime the map will be adequately, if not densely, populated. The map will also feature many 2048 textures - all new. There are at least 10 of these in use, which means almost 50% of the slots are in 2048. The difference in visuals is very marked.

Here are a few screenshots to give you an idea of the landscapes. While being in a fantasy configuration with whimsical names, the land and islands are naturally based on actual places on Earth. The islands are mainly from the Kuriles, volcanoes and all. The landmasses are from somewhere along the coast of Iran, but inverted or flipped and of course given a completely different landscape.

Great! BEAUTIFUL! I really like your maps! You have been creating some amazing
landscape art. I like this one because its fantasy. It can be anywhere you wish it to be.
Its great for adventure flying or for recreating any possible stories you might read in
a book or seen in a movie. It can be anywhere you wish.
It looks great! Thank you Agracier!

By the way, were you not the artist responsible for the "Area 51" map (Secret Air Force base in
America desert/mountain landscape) , that map was started and never finished?
We really would like to see that map to be finished and worked with these highly detailed textures.

That map was started by started by someone else ... not by myself in any case. It was a great idea and had scope for lots of desert landscapes and detailed airfield and bases.

I haven't any definite idea who started it. Maybe Viking who did the Grand Canyon map?

I realize there aren't many screenshots of populated areas. I was so enthralled by the use of new 2048 textures, that I seem to have concentrated on landscapes. Carsmaster's 2048 mod is a marvel. It has catapulted map making to a new level. Not only regarding detail, but also it looks like 2048 textures are somewhat more forgiving when it comes to getting tiled looking landscapes.

Here are a few screenshots of 2 towns, some marshland, flat plains, an extinct volcano and scrub islands

Agracier, flying your previous Lost Islands map is a pure pleasure. I'm sure this one will bring me the same fun ! Thank you so much for this beautiful work  :)
(not sure, but I think Boomer started an Area 51 map some times ago).
