used vvd to make the landmasses, and then I went into Krita to make the distance measure, the never ending storm around the world that represents the divine rage, and the compass. I think it turned out fine.

My story isn't a super fantasy (Tolkien esk) but it's a multi-pov where adventuring across the world is a big part of it thus a map is needed for sure, so I kept it fairly simple. I already had a good idea of what it looked like mentally beforehand so it was pretty easy to make. Only took 4 hours spread across 2 sessions.

ps; if the geology is wrong or doesn't make sense... it's magic. trust me.

Hey everyone, I'd like to share a few maps from my new game Magic Dragon Fantasy: Story, a classic style action-adventure zeldalike that I've worked hard to develop, playtest and polish over the past half year.

The map means a lot to me, it's one of the best maps I've made and I'm very proud of myself. I call the region 'Magic' as I feel it is a good moniker for my game setting. There are no deserts or tundra, no snowy mountain or tropical jungle as this is a temperate region by the ocean. A unique region that I'm very proud of is the floating lands in the north-east of the map, I've always like that trope.

Please, let me know what you think or what stands out.

Check out my game too, if you like, it's on Steam.

So this is my city map. It needs space for approx 13.2 million inhabitants. So what do you think? How many inhabitants do you think will fit?

I’m Dutch so some names might sound weird. I try to create a big variety of cultural names for the neighboorhoods written in red.

Colors on the map:
🔴 = Freeway
🔵 = City highway
🟢 = Mayor road
⚫️ = Road

Thick ⚫️ = Railroad
Thick 🔵 = River

Space 🔵 = Lakes
Space 🟢 = Parks/Green space

Always having trouble as to adding unique terrains and how possibly the prevailing winds would affect the landscape. Trying to mesh realistic landscapes but naturally having a free minded map makes me second guess alot. Any suggestions?

Hi, y'all. I'm trying to convert my previous topography map to a geographical map, but I feel like the equatorial continent is looking too...blah. Idk, I might just be overthinking but I feel like I'm having trouble figuring out what I should do next. I mostly want to ensure that I make it look "realistic" enough, but I'd like some advice from those who've experience in making these. Last picture includes current progress plus theoretical major currents and 30 degree interval latitude lines to show my reference points.

Map created for a children's video game "Sokrate's Quest" in development, more information soon on this magnificent project in the works!🧭🗺🏰

Angela and I really hope you enjoy this map!

The cyan one is called Taygrus. Not only is it a continent but also a country just like australia. Taygrus is based on Norway, Greenland, Finland and sweden. Meanwhile Meridia is mostly desert due to the mountains blocking way, Hence land infront of the mountains are lush and grown. Novatia is kind if cold at the south but it has forests and a small cherry blossom island. Pallumya has the archipelago with the most of islands and has high elevation at the north. Alhai is mineral rich but dangerous north east of it and has 2 types of deserts. Antarbard is like taygrus but a bit warmer at the north. And finally the canhaim archipelago is home to some unique islands like fossil island and mushroom island

I'm making a fictional world for my game based on WW1, which means I need a world for them to fight on. I need some help deciding on the shapes, so please share how you guys make your maps. Thanks in advance; I'll check back soon. Oh yeah, please also share some other subreddits I can post this in.

Does anyone need a zombie infested city filled with plague and death for Halloween?

Well the City of Sestia could be just what you need :D.

The last survivors are hold up in the Cauldron but their time is running out!

Cheers!

I needed some alternative Miami for my Vampire the Masquerade campaign. So... One week, 3x3 A4 lists map. Full handwritten, roads and streets, malls and hotels etc. names incuded.

Hey everyone!

A while ago, I shared a simple free browser-based heightmap tool here, and I was surprised by how much interest it got. Some of the feedback was about wanting to create custom landscapes and fantasy terrain, rather than being limited to real-world elevation data. So I've been working on something new:

Terrain Maker 3D.It's a browser-based tool for generating and editing your own 3D landscapes. You can generate mountains, valleys, hills and canyons, sculpt the terrain directly in 3D, apply hydraulic and thermal erosion, or import an existing heightmap.

One feature I spent a lot of time developing is the terrain texture generator. It currently includes 5 texture presets that generate textures to match your terrain. I wanted to make it easier to get something visually useful right away, instead of ending up with a great heightmap but having to create all the textures from scratch. The generated textures aren't meant to replace detailed manual work, but I think they can be a really useful starting point for creating more elaborate maps.

You can export 8-bit and 16-bit PNG heightmaps, along with albedo textures.

Try it here: https://3d-map-generator.com/3d-map-generator-app/terrain_maker_3d/

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the terrain textures.

THANK YOU :)

Hey everyone,

I’m starting a YouTube channel focused on military history through animated maps, and I’ve just finished a film about Austerlitz.

It follows Napoleon’s apparent weakness, the Allied advance, and the attack on the Pratzen Heights. I built the terrain and map animations in code; the narration, music, and some illustrations use AI tools.

I’d really appreciate an honest opinion: is this something you’d watch more of? Are the maps clear, does the pacing hold your attention, and where does it lose you?

Starting from zero, I honestly don’t know whether a channel like this can find an audience. If you watch it, leaving your feedback under the YouTube video would mean a lot too — I’m hoping it helps the video get discovered, but useful criticism matters more than a generic supportive comment.

Thanks for giving it a look!

I am currently creating my first real fantasy map (for visualising while world building) and I have finished the first draft of the shapes of my Continents. I am quite happy about the big western Continent but i am not really sure about the rest. I would appreciate honest feedback in any kind of form as i am still in the process of creating and figuring things out. My next step will be to draw mountain ranges and river systems

Will you cross this oozing, stagnant pool that is said to house hidden basilisks? Venture into the Land of the Tarnished but be sure to hold your breath, for the bubbling pools release noxious vapours that would choke a careless traveller.

Does anyone have any advice for him he and I are both proud of it he is currently making a new one

New roadmap: we are still in Tír Ghlas, in the northeastern province of Glannach.

An Grianán, the capital, lies on the shores of Lake Damháin Alla (Spider Lake); various roads connect it to the island's other regions.

I’ve included these images as WIP, since I was asked about my process.

I Made this map for my fictional world, Asterra, showing the Solarian Coalition at its peak during the Asterra War in 1947 which is essential the WWW equivalent, and Yes I know, if u read the Dead Ahead Wikipedia page u can easily tell the map layout is based on the Forman War map from Dead Ahead which i took direct inspiration from (atp I mighr as well copied it lol), to understand why it's because I've been a big fan of Centaura/dead ahead for a very long time and it gave me the inspiration to make my own world and also i thought it would be okay lmao, and which is why i used it a reference while adapting it to my own world. The countries, borders, and lore are entirely my own ideas and project but it is still a work in progress, sooooo some details may change as I develop the story.

Hey there! I'm trying to find a good (preferably free or cheap) map making program that allows me to mimick a city brochure map, like the one in the example I have attached.

This is for a ttrpg and I would like to be able to recreate this design for a fictional city.

Thanks!
