Title: Map eta?
Post by: Aria 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.

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

With everyone living underground, and most people probably not terribly educated, how do most people have a concept of "north" anyways? ???

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 (http://onlovecraft.wordpress.com/lovecraft1983/).
