    Default Nov '19 / Jan '20 Lite Challenge: Port city of Dornval

    Hey everyone!

    A bit of a late entry but I think I can still make it before the end.

    This will be my first real attempt at a city map so I've decided to post my progress mainly to have some feedback.

    This is what I have done so far, it's not much but let me know what you think.

    Welcome to the Challenge Cédric H. Nice layout, off to a good start. You still have a solid month, so plenty of time.

    Hello everyone
    here is an update of my map.
    I was planing initially to have all the houses placed before anything else but I got a really concerned with the shading, details and colors and so I decided to start working on it with what I already had.
    I have a lot of doubts with this map and I definitely need and will really appreciate any kind of feedback/advice that you guys can give me.

    Looking good, I like the houses and the background texture.

    I think it looks great. The houses are well done. Maybe a touch more deeper green with the grass texture?

    Almost done with this one.
    I still need to do the castle area and a bunch of other small details that I want to add to this map but I think I'll make it in time.

    You are making good progress.

    One thing that I did notice is that your inset map seems to be oriented in the opposite direction (north down instead of up).

    Thank you Bkh.
    The different orientation was actually made on purpose has it look better this way. If I turn the mini map around to match the orientation of the city map, the color transition between the green in the bottom left corner of the map to the white and blue of the mini map look really weird. I do understand however the problem that it cause. I'm not sure if I should turn it around anyway or maybe add a compass rose to the mini map to fix this.

    I was able to finish most of the map, there are still some details that I would like to add but I don't think I will make it in time for the end of this challenge.
    That maze took me much more time than I was expecting, but it was really fun to do.
