Some map things

[Luna_blade]

Perhaps just to raise to morale for the DC revival project:
I hereby present some maps that were supposed to be used for my Fanfiction/fangame.
Well concepts of those maps atleast.
Everthing is made with Paint.NET (yeah I'm really promoting that program)

Also they look really messy. It's not done at all etc.

If you have any quetions be sure to ask.

Yes, where did you get the names for Uherlia Sea, Uhterl, and Crumbling sea. (The third is probably just a label?)

Most of the official continents seem to end in a or an. (Angara, as well.)
~ http://goldensun.wikia.com/wiki/Weyard

[Luna_blade]

Just made them up.

[Teawater]

Mind if I give a suggestion for the name of that continent?

In real life, our Earth has the Arctic and Antarctica... So, why not name it after Tundaria?

Although, we could probably come up with other names, too... My try at picking one random: Narnia  Platinia (Made it up - Was reading here: http://goldensun.wikia.com/wiki/Angara ; And thought Ice plate, not really land? But I know up there, it may be land.)

[Luna_blade]

Uhh okay. This topic was not really supposed to become a suggestion topic but okay.

Platinia is somewhat better. But not for that upper continent. It is not frozen.
And if I name Thundaria Platinia, how can I explain such a rapid change of names?
I try to forget the exact time when my story plays (because of plot holes) but it should be around 150 years before Golden Sun.
That's why I changed the names of the continents just a slight bit. And I can blame the change of the name on the changes in language Well I suppose I can completely change the name of a continent.

And yes most continents end with an "a". I mentioned somewhere before that I try to do something else.
Side note: The upper continent is the biggest plot hole. The story is something like this:
Babi goes to that continent, meets Lunpa (who originates from it). Eventually the residents from Lunpa's city move to Angara (because they know the continent will fade).
Storywise it becomes almost impossible to explain why no one in Lunpa mentions the continent or even anyone on Weyard.

I'm encountering plot holes. I will try to fix them, but this will probably result in some kind of shitty Deus Ex Machina... Well at least the rest of the story will be good.

And that's what happening right now. Luckily I barily work on the project, otherwise I would have got a headache from all the plot holes.

Platinia is somewhat better. But not for that upper continent. It is not frozen.

Not that Platinia has the word frozen or ice associated with it...  Plateaus aren't necessarily frozen if you wanted something else to go by. Still though, Platinia was me just coming up with something a bit random.

Storywise it becomes almost impossible to explain why no one in Lunpa mentions the continent or even anyone on Weyard.

150 years difference gives time for people to not think so much about the upper continent? It could also be possible that a lot of people traveling from the upper continent die.. leaving only a few like Babi, Lunpa, etc. Edit: And maybe they have reasons for not telling, since telling people it's eroding might get everyone panicked?



Edit: I have a feeling changing the names a slight bit might make it look like you forgot what their names were. (Unless otherwise labeled.)

Yeah I know. I'll look into it some other day.

I hadn't thought about that last thing...
Also 150 years, just look at anemos.. No wait, that's not comparable. Okay given 150 years is not short.

Hi, I know King Hydros (or maybe Piers, or Lunpa, doesn't matter) says that the continents have become smaller, but to me it doesn't really make sense. Just looking at the maps, the one given by Hydros and the actual one, you can figure out the move undergone by the continents, and I don't really see where they have shrunk. I mean, the only way for a continent to get smaller is losing some pieces of earth on its edge, thus changing shape. But it seems that they have kept the same shape...
So I suggest that we get rid of this idea that the continents once were bigger than now, and that we say that they have only moved. Plus, if you consider Lunpa's map, that is 150 year-old, it is quite similar to the actual one.
By the way, I'm working too on a prequel project that would happen 150 years ago, because it's Babi and Lunpa's time, and the time when Kraden began studying Alchemy. I thought it could make a good story.

[Saturos]

This map really move forward our train so my story takes place in here.
I have job for others make all lighthouses in rpg.
All damages must be fixed.

[KyleRunner]

(...)150 years ago, because it's Babi and Lunpa's time, and the time when Kraden began studying Alchemy. I thought it could make a good story.

Are you suggesting that Kraden is more than 150 years old?

[Saturos]

In dd maybee but in tla no. This map can be in my option 200 years old. My story characters will be
great-grandparents of main characters and antagonists.

Eeer... Crap. You got a point. Babi asked Kraden to study Alchemy when he had come back from Lemuria, didn't he ? Yeah, that would make more sense.

So what's the big idea behind these maps?  Did you make them because you needed more land space, or because you wanted to point out hidden things, or what?

[Rolina]

It's probably just him throwing some concept ideas out there for inspiration.  Not a bad idea, IMO.  And yeah, Paint.NET is an amazing program.  It's MSPaint that you wanna avoid.

You are totally right. These are my calculations based on nothing, but we don't have much to work with.
It depends on several things, but I can blame Alchemy for not changing the shape.

I guess I forgot that the map is actually Lunpa's but I look into that.

Well, if you're working on a similar project, we might want to exchange some ideas.

This map really move forward our train so my story takes place in here.

You mean damage to the party or to the lighthouses (Mercury LH was pretty wrecked)?

So what's the big idea behind these maps?  Did you make them because you needed more land space, or because you wanted to point out hidden things, or what?

Well my map is just a theory. And yes I wanted more space for my map.
Pointing out hidden things? I guess you can see the upper continent as pointing out hidden things.

Salanewt: Oh my. To be honest though, I'd be more likely to give Briggs stuff from later regions; him being a pirate from another continent and all.

JamietheFlameUser: How not to design boss fights: give human-type bosses stats and equipment on par for what the Editor says their level is and what equipment is available where they're from. You get stuff like an actually scaled to level 21 Briggs with a Great Sword, Silver Plate, Silver Helm, Vambrace, and Leather Boots. God, that was BS.

JamietheFlameUser: Eh, I didn't know the exact chance of Curse screwing you over. Still, that 6% chance to fail to act at all could screw you over when it matters most. The obvious solution, of course, is to stick that armour on a character who doesn't do anything but spam attack moves anyway.

[Today]

Today at 07:10:52

leaf: ...assuming I'm remembering the chance of curse taking effect correctly as 25%

[Today]

Today at 07:09:50

leaf: in fact, you get two turns the majority of the time (~56%), and only completely fail to act ~6%, the remainder of the time getting one action

[Today]

Today at 07:07:49

leaf: I like that stealth armor buff. it wouldn't make sense to do that with the clerics ring available, but if you remove that, it's actually an interesting item. On average, you get ~1.5 turns per round. it's potentially very strong, but carries risks

leaf: lol

JamietheFlameUser: Reading the Venus Psynergy topic and 'lol'ing at Role's reaction to a very simple spell idea I'd had (and still think is awesome), where rock explodes out of the ground from a single point in a focused, cone-shaped burst. Role read me the riot act about not combining elements again. lol.

[Today]

Today at 06:17:58

JamietheFlameUser: Well, one thing I came up with that was actually potentially cool is a modification to the Stealth Armour. I gave it +1 turns, under the assumption that the Cleric's Ring would be removed. You might get 2 actions that round, or 1 action, or maybe no actions at all! RNG at its finest.

JamietheFlameUser: LOL I'm looking at the DCrisis Items/Equipment section. Role and I were both so immature about it (me especially) that it's hilarious in hindsight.
