I've had a really bad sleep schedule lately, and inspirations been lacking. I promise to make up for lost time though.

Anything you need?

Not really, just wondering about the jump and generally lack of activity.

If they are small islands the map can't see them, right? Or am I digging too deep.

Yes, other than those ones in the northeast corner of Keskus, I didn't bother showing any small islands on the world map. Place them as you wish, as long as they aren't too big. (See the Cartacar page for an example of the sizes of islands not shown on the map. The top two big ones are the ones on the world map, all the rest are only shown on the detailed map.)

If you do, try making a simple map or something so we know what they actually look like.

Hi, I'm trying to add some maps of my islands on Yucopia, it doesn't like the format. I drew them in paint as it's the only programme I have, so how do I do this please?

What format did you save the images as? It should accept normal formats such as JPG BMP or PNG, and possibly others.

On a side note, don't use bmps, their file sizes are enormous, pngs have the same quality with a smaller file size.

Also, don't use JPGs unless it's a photograph. PNGs and GIFs (and BMPs but nobody uses them anymore), conversely, are good for computer graphics with lots of straight lines and clear blocks of colour. Maps are a good example of the second one. If you save a map as a JPG you tend to get horrible artifact blocks around edges.

Ha. No actually was going to be used as a seasoning on meat and in various baked goods.. It was also going to be used as bate for ant colonies. The colonies would be captured in jars that the ants would move into with the incentive of meat or in this case sugar. The jar would be sealed and then put over a fire. The dead baked ants were then removed and eaten in varous ways.

As for the cocoa. They would drink it with hot chilies. The outer soft shell would be removed and used somehow because of its sweetness.

So pay up.

Hello all. Is this still on? It feels like activity went down.

Now since I have scrapped my previous domestications what I have now are the Guinea Pig and the Guanaco. Those island people (map not finished), Could they hunt matinees? Fishing will also be a major part of life. Another question, could those islands have an ecology similar to the Galápagos?

Are there ice caps? Is there an ocean current chart? Weather pattern chart?

I'd love to watch them hunt down and kill theatrical performances which take place in the afternoon.

Well, I'm still in, just on hiatus from Garo, lack of inspiration, more desire to work on my main language family, Yagalian, but, yeah, more updates should be coming in more often from me, I'll see if I can get at least one sentence down on the side a week. =]

I too am still in. I've just been feeling kinda down lately. If anyone needs anything from me, feel completely free to ask. I'll see if i can't have som more Tll characters up by tommorow

In fact, I've been considering the idea of setting deadlines again. Maybe something like at least one new contribution every 2 weeks.

This is my first time making an isolating language, so I don't know how good it will be, but I'll shoot for a sketchy grammar by sunday or monday
