World Maps and making them

Icalasari

Something tells me making the map for the whole planet may not have been the smartest idea... x.x Only way I can see getting this to work is separating the world map into countries, make each country map, then assemble them in photoshop and fix any errors x.x This is not turning out fun

So, why are you making a world map? Especially if it's not fun.

^ To split up the game world properly. However, I clearly did not think things through and made a literal world map instead of piecing it together bit by bit

Basically, the pain in the ass part is redrawing each country but far bigger. Recreating everything is a pain x.x

When I make world maps I tend not to bother detailing mountains and rivers. Saves me the bother, especially since my stories usually only take place in two or three countries.

^ I detail them in a simplified way (Rivers are just lines and mountains are an area in a dotted line)
