Kool map game

[clawgrip]

You've done a wonderful job, clawgrip.

Thanks.

This ain't dead yet!

Mysidia

May uh somebody make my map? I sure as hell can't.

[clawgrip]

I've been really busy this month, and during the little time I have to relax I've mainly been working on the Tocharian and Khotanese fonts in the other thread, so I haven't done much updating here. The Mysidia map had been nearly complete for a long time, so I decided to just add the finishing touches and upload it.

Your country (and Georgia beside it) is kind of far north, so I started doing it based on the Mercator projection I made. Once that's done I'll contract it back down into equirectangular, which is the easiest projection for 3D modelling of the entire world. This will take some time though, since I'm still pretty busy and will be until the end of October at least. I had a lot of free time in the summer, which is why I was able to spit out so many maps so quickly at that time. I'll see what I can do though.

[clawgrip]

I also had this almost done, so I finished it up:

a blank map of Jaawi Ruusih with no topography

Some work done for Burke.

[Izambri]

This conworld will end up being so complete we should make money from it!

[patiku]

Kool Map World is public domain, also there are no takebacks if you're already added something.

Nin map, only topography

This has been sitting on my computer for over a month now... maybe sometime I'll add the cities and stuff to it.

[clawgrip]

I love this Nin map and the way you've smoothly connected it between the two other maps.

I think I screwed up this plan by including Count Chocula, Super Mario World, Mysidia & Agart (Final Fantasy), and Tasnica (Secret of Mana).

Also the Federation of Terrible Bees is based off of the Feed the Beast modpack for Minecraft, though with some modifications to make it harder to tell the origins...
Then there's all of the dick jokes scattered about...

Thanks for letting me know and understanding I lack the software to make my map, not am too lazy to make it. Good luck. Also, how do you make unicode characters? I'm trying to create an upside-down j.

[clawgrip]

Because why not? I won't let this project die.

I'm trying to make a climate map of this world, but I've never done something like this before. I tried working out ocean currents, but I'm not sure this is right. If anyone with some knowledge can help out, please do!



I particularly feel that the area northeast of the Pirate Haven Islands (Jaawi Ruusih archipelago) is not right, but I don't know what to do.

[clawgrip]

Some very rough temperature maps:

January:


July:


Will have to do the air pressure stuff next.

[KathTheDragon]

I still can't get over the random text in the middle of the ocean.

[clawgrip]

Yes, that's one of my favourite parts of this thing. Applying realism to something that is completely absurd.

With that in mind, I have made up a rough map of pressure systems. I hope there are not too many gross errors:

January:


July:


From this I will hopefully be able to refine the temperatures and determine climates.

Also I don't think anyone who was involved in this project other than me still cares about it, but I thought I would mention I increased the size of the polar oceans somewhat in order to avoid ugly pinching of land at the poles.

EDIT: I notice I forgot to reverse the wind directions in the southern hemisphere. I'll fix that later.

[Pogostick Man]

I still care. You're doing wonderfully with this.

[Matrix]

I think it's cool. I just took a look back at the countries I made. Good times.

[clawgrip]

So my next steps after fixing the error in air flow direction in the air pressure maps:

1. Update the ocean currents based on the pressure map (I already see several places that need to be fixed).
2. Try to figure out how the pressure areas will affect air temperature.
3. Figure out how ocean currents affect temperature in summer and winter.
4. Update the heat maps.
5. Make a rough map of precipitation levels for summer and winter.
6. Compare temperature and precipitation maps to fill in the climates.

Step 7 is probably make more maps or something. I made those photorealistic ones by merging tons of satellite Earth imagery.

Having massive icecaps and glaciers in the mountains within ten degrees of the equator seems rather bizarre though. Might have to remove them. Even with the glaciers removed, the fact that it's the tropics will allow for the numerous rivers to remain unchanged, I think.

[clawgrip]

I have updated the ocean currents:

[clawgrip]

I've made a very rough precipitation map:



I am a bit unsure of it, but I did my best.

[clawgrip]

Based on the previous maps, I have made the intertropical convergence zones for January and July. From this I will be able to determine the general temperatures.

[clawgrip]

Trying to determine what influence the ocean currents and so forth have on land:

January:


July:


I see one or two bugs to work out in these maps already.

Next I will have to work out how these currents influence affect the regular temperature of each area.

[clawgrip]

I have made basic temperature maps. These do not take elevation into account (my next step is to make an elevation map):

January:


July:




One problem is that there is a huge lake (Lake Sinil) in the middle of the desert in one of the hottest areas of the world.
