Just commenting to say hope this map is still alive. Has such a cool vibe to it. Again, surprised this hasn't gotten more attention, it truly looks great!
Hey everyone. Still working away. I'm planning a release soon, thought I might show you what that will look like. The playable area is hi-lighted in red. The southern quadrant of the map has one small town, a desert and farmlands.
Yes, the north is much more complicated. After release I’ll start working on the northeast sector next.
This map is the most promising map I've seen in a while. I love most map mods and in-game ones, but most seem to be compacted, especially the US maps. This map looks like an actual town in Nevada or Arizona. Everything is open, wide, and planned out very realistically. I go to Arizona every year to see my 95-year-old Oma (grandmother) and I love going through desert towns like this during occasional road trips. So, the planning of the towns and roads immediately caught my eye with how authentic it looks. Loving the progress so far! I'm definitely excited for this and I hope you're having fun making it.
It's really hard to make biomes make sense, most mappers don't bother. For me it's been a constant struggle. "This is dry, that should be wetland." "That needs more vegetation, this needs to be sparse." "there's too many trees here, it's the wrong kind of tree.".....
I really appreciate your attention to detail, very few others have this level of details and care to be so realistic and accurate.
Release everyone! In a different thread cause new name. https://www.beamng.com/threads/high-desert-plains.100000/
