Far Realm Battlemap Progress Update
Added 2020-11-15 21:14:07 +0000 UTCHi All!
Wanted to post a quick update on the progress of the next map. I have to admit that this is probably the weirdest map I've ever made... but it is Far Realm afterall, right? It is supposed to be kinda weird. The map is still in a fairly abstract stage, but it will be getting more and more defined as I flesh it out... Although some of it will likely to stay quite abstract, simply due to the nature of the setting.
I spent two days pretty much just figuring out what a Far Realm could be like... other than what's already been done over and over again. I wanted to bring something new to it, or at the very least show a new angle of it. And then I also had to figure out how to make a functional battle map out of something as weird as what was brewing in my brain. I looked at probably hundreds of images searching for inspiration and references. I went through multiple concepts, until I settled on the one you see above. In the end, I think the most inspiration came from 1920s surrealism films (Un Chien Andalou specifically), Amnesia Rebirth that I recently watched on Twitch (I could not play that game myself to save my life lol), Hellboy, and Cze Peku's Celestial Realm map.
As a final note, this is very much NOT done, not by a mile. I am going to take probably the next 2 days to flesh it out, to be ready for the release on the 17th (still on schedule).
