Word of the World #02 - Where you return at the Horizon!
Hello all, we’re back with the second entry of our ‘Word of the World’ series of posts! This time, we’ll be showing you a bit of information about one of the major continents of the world, Return!
Included is a short description of the Continent and the continent map we created using mapmaking tools! We plan to create a few more maps like this and post them in later updates!
The Return Continent is planned to be the major location for the events of the main project we’d like to create, so we thought it’d be nice to include a bit of background information about it for events to come! Though you likely will not visit every location included on the map in the full game, we just wanted to show off the development of the setting you’ll be experiencing!
Obviously, because our budget isn’t huge and this is our first larger project, we want to keep the scope fairly within the boundaries of what we think we can accomplish with a small team. Based on the time it took develop the prototype areas, the assets for them and everything we learned, we’ve confident in what we can manage in the full game! While we’d love for every location on the map to be a place you can visit, we don’t think we’d be able to do it all in reasonable time/budget, but we’ll be aiming to add as much as possible!
And, to note, the prototype project takes place on one small section of the map! In a singular zone of which you don’t really get to experience the full size of. Just to give you a better idea of the scope we’d like to achieve, the prototype Area, Highleaf Heights, acts as a preview for a very basic design chunk for a part of a zone and what we hope to create in the full title!
Thanks for reading! Catch you soon!
