WILD ARMS - Epitaph Sea 🗺️ this one has it all! conveyor belt puzzles 🛼 follow the leader puzzles 🐺 send your pet rat through a hole alone puzzles 🐀 and a sunset duel with a noble samurai and his pet wolf at the top ⚔️ weird name though.

this Wipeout 2048 A+ Unity Square challenge might force me to concede defeat. 4 races in a row i set a personal record and beat the previous race's winning time by several seconds, but it just says fuck you and speeds up all the AIs accordingly, item luck required. brutal sense of artificiality

uploaded a batch of Wild Arms maps this morning (yeah I still have like 30 more to go, unexciting but deal with it) and officially crossed 1,000 uploads on DA 🎉 i never uploaded like 80 Tomb Raider 4-6 maps so it's kind of meaningless, but still I can quietly acknowledge the milestone 💯⭕🗺️

MARVEL VS CAPCOM assist reference 🕹️ even though you knew all of these commands already

STAR FOX 64 - da lylat system 🌌🦊🗺️

THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH - The Lands Beyond 🗺️ a rare bit of non-VG cartography, adapted from the 1961 original in-book map! my son has been (re)reading it lately and we made this together over the weekend, he helped pick out various characters to depict and stuff. i always loved it. 📖

WILD ARMS - Sealed Library 🗺️ everyone has a moment when they need to reference worldbuilding lore from the PS1 JRPG wild arms. but who wants to spend 15 minutes starting a new game and getting Cecila to the sealed library? few. WITH THIS MAP, you still will have to, but peep this book catalog! (1/2)

WILD ARMS - the Berry Cave, defogged 🗺️ loooootta people getting hung up on this dungeon over the years, finally i have made a map to help people through this infamous difficulty spike. (a few more WA maps also in the Drive archive on my pinned post)

check out the toolery. 1. play WILD ARMS in emulator and take a ton of screenshots. 2. write a lil GUI where i can drag and drop them in order, and it snaps the matching areas when i get it near enough + removal of sprite areas if i draw a red box. 3. maps in minutes! 🗺️ #MeansOfProduction

faxanadu fan game alert 😍

the vibes feel right to me for this one. very intrigued

SONIC ADVENTURE - Emerald Coast 🗺️ 💍🦔

LEGEND of LEGAIA world map 🗺️

TOMB RAIDER GUIDES from the vault. i have a bunch of TR tome trilogies that are fun to flip through. first is the prima OT, classic. my TR3 pages are falling out :( iconic but simple. no maps. i also have a rarer TR2 Gold version (more levels) with photo walkthrough like TR3 got later. (1/5)

LEGEND OF DRAGOON World Map 🗺️ in-game it's several separated mini-maps, but the flying/sailing modes have an overall world map I could use as a base to adjust the others with the little minature towns included. another interesting PS1 map design approach with the rails between levels, no roaming

major breakthrough at the labs this evening. finally worked out a WILD ARMS gameshark code to disable the shadow overlay in dark areas! now i can finally see the dungeons without this effect, and fully map out one of my fave RPGs. thanks duckstation cheat manager!

CHRONO CROSS - last night I finished mapping the whole game after years-long hiatus! this game gets knocked from CT fans, but there's some juice in here. check' em out here if you want! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

it's that simple.

CHRONO CROSS - Shadow Forest 🗺️ featuring the game's most fucked up party member, Funguy. he loves mushrooms and you can give him a bad one that transforms him into a horrible mushroom penis monster, and he joins your party out of rage and anguish. he can't ever be cured. 90% done with CC maps now!

FF7 intro sweep is nice and smooth without the train wheel cuts #nintendo64

finished my MGS2 video last night and uploaded it this morning! a breakdown of the levels and how you progress through them. here is a fun bit at the end comparing MGS1 and MGS2 (ending spoilers!) full video link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEvX...

CHRONO CROSS - Dimensional Vortex 🗺️🖌️

CHRONO CROSS - Viper Manor 🗺️. CC is fun because you can actually put little enemies on the map where they patrol, no random encounters. CC gallery so far: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

i first try to find a good top-down reference or sketch one out to get the overall layout of levels first. for example Dark Souls 3, i skewed the guidebook maps to an iso angle as a base (left), and took freecam screenshots as well. draw flat floors, z-separate different heights, fill in-between...

CHRONO CROSS - Termina 🗺️

LEGEND OF DRAGOON - last night I finished mapping the whole game after years-long hiatus! lots of cool late-game areas here, and some classic PS1 teleport mazes. they aren't up on DA or VGMaps yet, but check 'em out here if you want! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I did an interview with Leah below all about VGC! and what drives my continuing efforts 🗺️ check it out, and if you are a level designer take note of the part where I say portfolios need more isometric level renders 😈

RESIDENT EVIL 2 (2019) - RPD map! this was fun to finally assemble and appreciate, hoping to do a similar project with sewers and lab. I love OG RE2 but the remake is one of my all-time favorites 🗺️https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/art/Resident-Evil-2-2019-RPD-Police-Station-Map-1315877070

my Resident Evil Remake map video got a lot more views than i expected. which is great because i was already working on more RE map stuff to follow! after finishing other big projects in next couple weeks, making an RE2 1998 vs 2019 map comparison vid. drawing the old map, rendering the new 🧟
