US states' main import partners

Canada emerges as the leading import partner for most states, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast. China is a significant partner, especially for states along the West Coast and parts of the South. Mexico is the main partner for several Southern states, such as Texas and Arizona. Other notable partnerships include Germany (e.g., South Carolina), South Korea (Alaska), and Switzerland (New York) Partner:

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!

FYI the red-yellow flag is AAM aka adult-attracted minors. Same effects as a MAP.

▲▼▲ THE LANGUAGES OF SOUTH AFRICA ▲▼▲

AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER LANGUAGES

★ Official languages : Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, Sesotho, Sesotho sa Leboa, Setswana, siSwati, Xitsonga, Tshivenḓa, isiXhosa, isiZulu

☆ Dutch : a former official language (until 1984) ☆ |Xam : language of the National Motto !ke e: /xarra //ke (‘diverse people unite’ or ‘unity in diversity’) ☆ Khoekhoegowab (Nama) : the first of the so-called Khoisan languages to be added to the school curriculum (in the Northern Cape province)(x)

the Khoikhoi and the San/Bushman are the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa. their languages form part of three families : Khoe-Kwadi, Tuu and K’xa, and are characterised by the large number of click phonemes. the three families were previously grouped together as the ‘Khoisan’ languages.

during the Bantu Expansion, Bantu-speaking peoples spread across much of the continent, and reached southern Africa around the 3rd or 4th Century. Bantu languages are known for their extensive noun-class systems, and due to contact with the Khoe, Tuu and K’xa languages, languages like isiXhosa, isiZulu and Sesotho have acquired a few click phonemes too.

in 1652, the Dutch East-India Company (VOC) established a permanent settlement at the Cape of Good Hope. many Dutch settlers declared themselves vrÿburghers (free citizens), cutting themselves off from the VOC and the Netherlands. the Dutch spoken by these vrÿburghers (later Boers) and their Malay slaves would eventually evolve into Afrikaans. in 1814, the British acquired the Cape and thence set out to colonise much of the African continent, introducing English as an official language

MAPPING REVACHOL (2.0)

Back in July of 2024, I was incredibly inspired by the project Mapping Revachol by Map Max and wanted to continue on with an attempt of my own. The canon map we're given felt out of date and more than a little incongruous with what we're told in-game, and being both an avid fanfic writer and compulsive visualizer, I really wanted to be able to see Revachol in my mind's eyes.

So, taking inspiration from both Map Max's attempt, as well as meticulously combing through in-game dialogue (with the help of my intrepid friend and far more meticulous researcher than I, @spine-y) we scoured Fayde for any and all directional references to the different districts of Jamrock, East and West Revachol, and everything that lay beyond. (Shoutout to the MoralIntern questline, that one came in clutch).

I took a few liberties with district placement, especially because the wiki also seems to contradict a few things we're told in the game. You may not agree with my choices, and I'm open to suggestions! I may not make any changes anytime soon because this took forever, but I also welcome any other attempts to map Revachol!

(The red line that cuts through Central Jamrock and Faubourg is Boogie Street!)

Included below is my initial sketch before I realized that doing this in markers and microns would actually be the death of me, and then some of the early screenshots of trying to figure out what the hell the 8-81 would actually look like and how to make it make sense.

Does it make perfect sense? No! I'm not a cartographer; I'm a fanartist. I'd much rather draw men dicking each other down nasty style. But this was an incredibly fun project that only took me... only six months to complete.

I hope you enjoy!
