New Ocean Map

Post by Rising-Sun »

Been working on a new ocean map, though i give this another try, since last time i did this didnt come out well. It will take alot of work to get it done, but it would be pretty :) Anyway i will post screen shot some time tonight when i get part of it done around northern Japan. I wasnt happy playing the game while looking at the plain ocean and wanted something more realistic views.

Here the screenshot i made...

Not sure how you guys feel about this map, but i like it. It would take awhile to complete the whole sets for the Pacific.

This comment is not on your art work, per se. It is very pretty and, I'm sure, more realistic.

But the light and dark blue ocean colors are there to define deep and shallow water hexes for all sorts of stuff in the game; minefield degradation, sub detection, asw stuff, you name it. Having slight shading differences, going out 2 or 3 hexes from shore, will confuse heck out of a player who is looking for a deep water hex to hide a sub in, or shallow water hex to sow a minefield in.

Hope you will take this into account.

Well if its close to shore, then it will be shallow water areas. By looking at the color patterns i made can tell the different, dont worry you will be able to til the different when i done with it. Dont have to use it if you dont like it.

I do like it, just hope you will take game constraints into account. And it's not just as simple as being close to shore. Just think about it. That's all.

This isn't a pretty program to show pretty map art. It is a game program. If you want to make pretty map graphics for this game program, they should show what game players need to see in game terms.

A very simple request.
