Map eta?
« on: October 25, 2013, 07:07:55 am »
I know there was mention of a in game map, I cannot find the thread and can't recall if there was a estimate on when it might be added?

There's no ETA right now. I still haven't decided how I want to implement a world map or if I want to implement it at all.

Oh darn I must have misread.... love the game so am sure you have your reasons for not wanting to add a map, if not a map then what about a compass? :)

Compass will be available in the next version. No more pondering which way north is. :)

I got a question about that:
With everyone living underground, and most people probably not terribly educated, how do most people have a concept of "north" anyways? ???

Since I have a terrible RL sense of direction, I tried to start mapping the game the old school way, on paper.  In Illustrator, I created a gird of blank diamond shapes to correspond to the isometric WTF-is-North?! layout, but unfortunately game level layout doesn't correspond everywhere to physical space.  In Junktown, for example, certain sectors would overlap.  Then basement levels and ducting also screwed up my model.

screeg, care to post your map?
Naw, I started to fill in the details by hand.  Looks like crap.  You could check this out though.

A map is a must!  Although its not hard to figure upper right is north I always thought a compass is needed.....
