    Hello hello! Forests abound!

    The last few days I chipped away at creating an interesting jungle for the map. I would like to know if you like the way its presented?

    Forest wise all that is left is creating some standalones for the Savannah biome, after that I need to start mapping out points of interest. (I would again want to give the opportunity for anyone who want to be part of this TTRPG project to maybe give their ideas on place names.)

    Helloa!

    I was experimenting with how I wanted to do places of interested(Like keeps, forts, cities, ect.) So, I added nine so far. It would be nice to hear if it works or not from you all.

    These few are just three of them,

    So, here I be again.

    Okay, every now and then I chip away at this one. Adding places. I am wondering if I should add roads to it. Also, naming this map is exceptionally hard. I would GREATLY appreciate some brainstorming. The whole idea behind this map is the fact it is where two continents meet. But getting a proper name for is proving elusive.

    Hellloaaa!

    Okay so here is a little preview of the one corner of the map. Still a few things to figure out. Like that there is a ton of labels on the map and how to present them.

    Also, still no luck in thinking of an epic name for the map, yet. Any ideas?

    Help Final touches with a few questions

    Hi!

    I think I'm near finishing the map. Now, I desperately need feedback on if there is anything that needs changing. Also, I would much appreciate feedback on my labeling efforts.

    And I'm still struggling a bit to think of a fitting name for the map.

    Anyway here it is,

    Hi Xcali, I like the map very much. About labeling I have only one doubt: the yellow of the font sometimes is very similar to the color in the map, so difficult to read without looking closer.
    Cheers

    Yeah. I agree. Though, I am sitting on a conundrum. The moment I make all the landscape and locations of interests the sameish brightness, the map seems to be teeming with labels. A bit of difficult thing to balance.

    ----
    So here I tried making all the landscape labels a greenish color and the locations of interest a bit brighter.

    I need some feedback desperately here.

    As I am labeling the place, I know for one, as many as possible places needs labels for this particular map, why? Well, it is a map for adventures. Now, how do one make it like the labels are not as in your face. I haven't even named the rivers yet...

    Anyway, I've seen many maps over years with a boatload of labels, yet most of them have them feel natural to the map. I have to admit... I am at a bit of a loss here how to do the same for this one. Any ideas?

    You could maybe try coloring the labels by type of terrain. One shade of green for grasslands/plains, another shade for forests, maybe brownish or greyish for mountains, a pale yellow-brownish color for deserts, and so on. Not sure if that helps or not, just an idea.

    On a side note, the map itself looks great.

    It is definitely an idea worth considering. Thanks a bunch for taking the time.

    Also, glad you enjoy the map
