Hello everyone! For the 1st map of October here is Forest Fortress.
This map heavily leans into the idea of it being a player-owned keep, featuring:
Six rooms with a class archetype's light motif: Wizard, Warrior, Paladin/Cleric, Rogue, Bard and Druid/Ranger.
A meeting hall for players to discuss their plans.
Archives for note keepers and lore enthusiasts.
Training grounds, a small tavern and a personal forge.
Guest's room for NPCs.
A small graveyard for fallen heroes.
Variations were also made with this in mind, adding a version in ruins possibly for players to reclaim the fortress, a wandering shop/caravan, a portal, and defensive barricades for a raid encounter.
But of course all of that is optional, and I also tried to keep in mind to make the map usable in other ways!
Creation process notes. I spent a lot of time this month making a modular system to support easier creation of buildings for future maps, this map was a "stress test" of that system to see if all works well and if it is easy to put things together. I'm pretty happy with it, but still have a lot in mind of things I'd like to implement and improve. In short, it allows me to make much bigger and more ambitious buildings (or multiple buildings) without losing details (and my mind) in the process; I'll talk about it more in the future as I work on it!
I really hope you enjoy the map! Thank you so much for your support! :)
