Update: What's coming next n stuff!



Hello chooms, hope you're having a nice weekend so far!

Just wanted to do a quick update post about the general happenings, and what maps are coming down the pipeline.
Bit of a delay on my end due to several factors, general life/medical stuff I won't go into detail about, and having to spend a bunch of time migrating everything to a new pc since my 8yr old one was close to shitting the bed and that would have been real bad.

Good news is that now I'm using a computer that isn't from the stone age I'll be able to do any size map without simply saving the file taking 10+ minutes, so that's good news. I've missed being able to do larger, complex maps so it'll be good to get back into those.

Which segues perfectly into what maps are coming next! I've got a couple of ideas for larger, weirder maps (well I have a million ideas, but a couple I wanna do next);

1: The Artist's Table; the map starts in some generic biome like a forest or desert etc, that continues for a bit until a giant wall that looks like a roll or parchment blocks the path and needs to be scaled.
It is then revealed that the world you're travelling through is a painting on a scroll and you've climbed out of it onto the artist's table, where you can see other paintings of different biomes that you can choose to enter.
The actual layout and details of this one needs to be worked out, but the foundation is there, it's an idea I've had for a while, I tried doing it a while back but wasn't in the right place to pull it off. Want to give it another go cause I think it would be really something if I can do it properly.

2: The Memortree; I've got no real idea for this one yet, I just really like the name and think it could turn into something really sick. Vague idea is there is some sort of tree that grows or keeps memories, I dunno, I'll work on it some more after the Artist's Table map and post WIPs in the discord.

3: The Spider Lord's Tower; This one has been in the works for a while, all very early stages at the moment, especially since it is so large and complex that my old pc simply could not handle it so I had to put it away for a while.
This one will be the largest and most complex map I'll have done to date if I manage to pull it off, it's gonna have like 10 levels inside the tower itself, a long approach to the tower and probably some tokens.
This one is gonna take a lot of work so don't expect it any time soon, I'm glad I'll be able to work on it again though cause its gonna be amazing!
I'll probably make sure that I can easily make a non-spider version too, basically it'll just be webless, the tower itself won't be spider themed, more likely a spider has just moved in and taken it over, most likely somewhere in the Underdark or something.

I hope one or all of those sound interesting enough to look forward to, I'll probably make some quick generic maps first so I have something to put out before I spend a bunch of time on the Artist's Table map.

It was becoming quickly outdated and slow for my workflow which was causing too many issues getting stuff done. I'll be good for a while now though.
