#Resource Mapping

[ccexplorations]

Understanding atomic frequency resonance is transforming how geologists approach subsurface investigations. This advanced technique is crucial for identifying resources like minerals and groundwater, providing a non-invasive and accurate way to analyze what lies beneath the Earth’s surface. From mineral exploration to sustainable groundwater exploration, atomic frequency resonance is setting a new standard in geological studies.

Interactive Map for Dragon Age: The Veilguard

If you're trying to find all the chests, notes, codices, loot, and even some of the easter eggs, a really helpful and amazing tool would be this interactive map! You can even track your progress.

FREE MAPS

Today's PSA about resources from the federal government that you might not know about: virtually all of the USGS's maps are in the public domain and free to download. More than a century's worth of them. They even have a nice map-based browser so you can search by location and filter by date, scale, etc. You can also generate your own topo map using the best available data for whatever area you define (within the US) using the topoBuilder application.

You can ALSO get printed versions for quite a low price - I just got one for my office for $9 plus shipping, which came to ~$15 total, I think.

SO if for INSTANCE you wanted a cool old map for your wall and you went to Etsy and found some schmuck selling reprints of old USGS maps for +$50 bucks - THEY'RE SCAMMING YOUUUUUUU they are depriving you of your American right to life, liberty and the pursuit of topographic data

"Up is Out" is now in drivethrurpg !!

Up is Out is a co-op solo role playing game of exploration, resource management, map making, journaling, asymmetrical roles, and lore creation, that uses books you already own as sources to spark your imagination.

If anyone plays it, I'd love to hear your thoughts and know if you had fun with it :)

Wow the twine version looks gorgeous! I had no idea it was possible to do so much with twine, do you need to know a lot of code to be able to pull that off? May I also ask what map program you're using?

Hi there, thanks so much!! And to make a standard Twine game, you don't really need to know any code at all; the native, out-of-the-box version that you can download from twinery.org makes it very easy to make an interactive game, especially with the many free visual templates that creators put out there to help others get started!

However, to make a lot of what's in the ShoH Twine version now, that did unfortunately take a lot of code, none of which I knew at all at first! 😅 Figuring out CSS (to make the general UI, make it mobile-friendly, etc.), JavaScript (to create custom behaviors like the store, codex, and interactive maps), and twee (to code the game itself) ends up adding to a lot of work, let alone figuring out a good workflow system so that you can actually compile and test all of your progress. But resources like the Sugarcube wiki were invaluable when it came to getting started! Hope that all makes sense!

And I actually didn't use any map software for Shepherds: I drew the maps from my mind's eye on a tablet (which looked awful) and sent it to map artists I commissioned (who are listed in the credits) to bring my sketches to life! They did an amazing job (because my doodles looked horrible)!! However, if you're looking for good map-making software in general, I really enjoy Inkarnate, which I used more recently to map out the locations in my current novel!

Hey sergle, I'm a fellow okie, though we're on opposite sides of the state it seems. Not sure if it has made it your way, but if you have a Grand mental health (grand really is there name) you might check it out if you're up to it. They do a sliding scale for people without insurance. My fiance makes around $18/hr and gets services for free and only has a $1 co-pay for his meds.

I see that you're struggling a lot and this isn't a "you better go to therapy >:[ " message, I just wanted to offer up the info in case you were interested. Either way, I hope you know that there are a lot of us who care about you 💖

i really appreciate the message, because of everything, but i don't know about this exact avenue... i'm around where the red dot is, for reference.

edit: you can get a gun in my area though

Hello, you can call me Wraith (no pronouns or he/him if you must)

I'm a psychology and counselling graduate, panpara / omniphile, and non-contact 🗺️tivist and para activist. I have experience volunteering for 🗺️ organisations like the ones I've listed and providing peer support for fellow -philes, which I'd love to do here if Tumblr so allows it

I also have experience with receiving therapy as a minor and young adult for a para disorder. I've since gotten a lot better and no longer meet the critera for said disorder, but still receive therapy because it's tough being in this situation when society sees you as a danger

I use transids and identify as transeverything myself - currently looking into dissomei identities but not sure about switching yet I have schizoaffective disorder and experience delusions

Tags do not necessarily reflect my identity, I'd just rather this post access the people it needs to

Scarlet Hollow decision tree

People occasionally ask to see a decision tree for Scarlet Hollow, so a while back I put one together for episodes 1-4! It’s not comprehensive, as most scenes at this point have at least some variation due to any number of tracked variables, but it accounts for most of the really major deviations.

For those who don’t want spoilers but would like to hear about how we kinda structure the game: I like to talk about it as more of a braid than a tree, which is not a new concept or anything, but I feel like it helps other narrative designers understand how to limit the absolute vastness that you can get with branching structures. The narrative branches off at decision nodes, but instead of continuing down significantly different routes, it comes back together at key moments. So there’s a single narrative throughline to the game-- events unfold in the town and you witness them in some capacity, but your perspective on them, who you’re with, the options available to you, all these are impacted by other choices you’ve made along the way, including the character traits you chose at the start of the game.

It’s not necessarily easier than doing routes, since it means Tony and I have to keep track of a ridiculous number of little variations including one-off dialogue choices players have made AND steering players to the important narrative moments can be tricky, but I think it makes for an interesting player experience! People get so excited when, say, a line at the end of Episode 4 calls back to something they said when they first met Tabitha at the beginning of Episode 1.

ANYWAY, HUGE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT, do not proceed if you don’t want to know about basically everything that’s currently in the game!

Things start to get a little hard to read from here on out....

Episode four had to be broken into four images and looks like spaghetti

I’ll make another one of these for Episode 5 after it comes out sometime next year! (I know that’s a bit of a wait but it’ll be worth it >:D)
