[Abandoned] Tokyo

[MarshalNey]

I'm happy with the gameplay mechanics on this map, shakey. The clarity isn't a big issue, but the lower legend seemed to not be separated enough from the map itself... is that still an issue (asking the community here)?

In any case, I just want to confirm that you're still in gear to work on this, as I'm preparing my green stamper. Perhaps, I only ask because you've got a newly born bundle of energy- I mean distraction- I mean joy!- to feed/love/tickle

THis looks pretty good - I like that it's completely different in style from anything else already in play.

[zimmah]

i hope you'll find a way to make the territory names fit inside the territories, because some territories have their name get overlapping bordering territories and that looks ugly to me.

for the rest it's an awesome map.

[shakeycat]

Zimmah,

Would it be all right if I turned the names diagonally on some?

to me, that looks indeed much better.

[AndyDufresne]

Yeah, I think the diagonal names are fine.

Ditto.

MarshalNey has some problems with his modem and he asked to me to stamp this one.
Congrats shakeycat!

Hi mate,

Good work here. I love the look of this map. The only issue that is coming to mind this that some terr/continent arn't centered properly, or are to close to borders. I believe you mentioned this issue earlier. If you can update and change the positioning of any territories names you have issue with, I can take a once over to find if there is any others you may have missed.

After that we can get you to make a small version and try and get you stamped


Cheers,
gimil

[shakeycat]

Thanks Gimil, nobodies, MarshalNey I'll go over it again. Making a small map'll be fun

[RedBaron0]

Abbreviations man.... otherwise you have to look for other options.

[mr. CD]

Grats!
Using abbrevations isn't bad, but you might have to use more abbrevations than would be comfortable. In my opinion it might be better to have a few names over borders than having dozens of abbrevations.

[RedBaron0]

Hey shakey, where are we at on this here?

[thenobodies80]

It's passed a month without an update.

Moving this one into the Recycling Box for a [Vacation] period, if you want to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made.

RedBaron0, I started work on the small map most recently. It's still in the works.

[MrBenn]

Don't let this map stall too long

[shakeycat]

It's open and being worked on! Hit a bit of a stall with my legend, too much info, too little space.

Would an extra 40 pixels in height work?

[shakeycat]

Isaiah, it certainly would. Would this be for just the small version, or the large as well?

With 40 extra pixels, we'd have something like this:

When I shorten names, do I need to abbreviate the latter parts? (Minami Senju [Railyard], Ochanomizu [University]), .. Ministry OF Defense barely fits but Ministry Defense? :/ bleh. Also, Tokyo N. M. [National Museum]

[isaiah40]

Isaiah, it certainly would. Would this be for just the small version?

I think it would help for both as it seems a little cramped. Get both the small and large with the extra height, if it isn't any more than 40-50 pixels in height, then we can see about allowing those few. If it is any more then submit your supersize application, and thenobodies80 and I will review it and give you an answer in about 2 days. Before we can approve your application, we will need to see both small and large versions.

[shakeycat]

50px will be sufficient. Here is the large version at 840x850,

It's not where I want it to be yet, but getting closer. I like the legend better now, though still need to think through the inclusion of Landmarks/Parks to it.

They match.

Going back and forth trying to figure out what bonus names goes to which is going to be very frustrating. This is going to nee a better system. I know you don't have much room on the bottom for the legend, you have some options and wiggle room, (see above) you will need to explore them to get this up to speed.

[Gillipig]

Why have you decided to have a lot of "hard" borders? It looks a little like how the Europeans drew up Africa .
Could you add some water? I think it would make the map clearer.
