An illustrated map of the Lies of P opening level: Krat Central Station...

much of what you see i erased and redrew at least once... this was fiendishly difficult, but very fun... i might try to continue this for other areas in the game, maybe Venigni works.

Map of all the street-level businesses in Kamurocho circa 2005, the primary setting of Yakuza Kiwami. (Yes, technically Big Fat Papa? isn't a street-level business. But Big Fat Papa? will not be denied.)

NOTE: this is a big image, meant to be downloaded, zoomed into, and scrolled around.

Elden ring Maps and their playable areas, roughly. This is not in any way a negative or criticism, I was just interested in what the maps looked like without the cliffsides and decorative areas. I don't think anyone would claim Elden Ring's playable space isn't big enough.

one down, 49 to go!

ufo 50 is real! here's a little map & notes i made to help get through BARBUTA (game #1 of 50!!!); when they were like 'these are full games, don't take them lightly!' they weren't kidding.

it's a charming but kind of weird package, and putting barbuta's intentionally old-school jankiness first (the buzz as you go between screens!) sets the tone for the whole thing but is also kind of deceptive--underneath the jank barbuta, like the whole collection, is suffused with 21st-century game design fairness.

but that doesn't mean it's easy! the games are short but tough, and you've got to take them seriously if you want to beat them; other devs might have been tempted to undertune them so people who aren't good at one genre or another will still see everything the collection has to offer, but not mossmouth.

Stardew 1.6 Update: Egg Hunt Year 2 Guide

In year two, playing the 1.6 update, my usual egg-hunt path suddenly failed me.

I built a map of the new egg locations to help people spot the eggs ahead of time. (Hopefully I actually noticed all the eggs and successfully highlighted them.)

What fascinated me was that some of the days that I reset, the eggs were better hidden by the bushes/trees. I only noticed by comparing screenshots.

Still need to work out an optimized route, but for now, here’s at least a map of where things are!

ETA: potential route (you only actually need 9 of these to win)

ETA 2: updating these to include an egg I had failed to highlight; many thanks to Reddit user MidChimera45

I painted a map of Lunar (Silver Star era) on a miniature globe last night :3

The continets are not perfectly to scale with eachother, but I did my best haha ^^;;;

I took some liberties with this area of the southern hemisphere... in the few illustrations of the TSS/SSSC/SSH map I could dig up, it was covered by sea serpents or clouds haha. But I believe EB/EBC opens it up as the ocean line dropped considerably over the centuries, so I hinted at a hidden landmass. :3c

Man, I love the Seiken Densetsu 3 map 😍

Game map idea: A gorgeous waterfall referred to by the locals and on maps as Myl or Mul Falls (by personal preference). The falls themselves are reportedly a glorious sight and well worth the trip, but everyone who’s been there is left either simmering in rage or deeply amused, and far more often the former than the latter.

When you finally go there, the visuals definitely hold up to rumor. However, it also looks like there might be a cave or opening of some sort behind the falls.

Should you choose to investigate, you will indeed find a small opening behind the falls. There, in a recess in the back wall, you find a single item: A pristine and well-maintained plaque, naming this location Made You Look Waterfall.

Working on finishing up my first-ever playthrough of Yakuza 5 (loooong!), so expect plenty of new city maps soon enough. In the meantime, I've been tweaking the design of some earlier maps to be a little more visually cohesive. Here's how Yakuza Kiwami's shaping up so far...

I'm very proud of this one. This is the world map and level select screen from my game One Arrow Archer. Hovering over an area of the map makes it rise up with each level being one area of the map.
