Okay, So I've been using this thing about a weekish now.

My first game started as this... (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4n1oz2ax7x4ze74/Map001.png?dl=0)

I have since moved on with another project that is chugging along, and much smaller in scope.

However, I DO want to create an Epic, open world experience.

Go back to Fantasy (Current project is modern, and not really serious, lots of joking) and perfect this big ass world you can run through and make a life in.

There's a whole lot of stuff I know that I CAN do in my dream game with Ace, and a few things I'm still not sure on.

However, I really would love to get a little feedback on this map.

It currently has 65 locations, but I planned to add about 30ish more. Bring it up around 100 even.

The map is 350x450, and not all is land, as you can see. The roads are kinda upsetting me, but there's not much to do other than re-design the landmass with more ridges and mountains, so the roads would be more bendy and fluid.

I really like the map though, the rivers...and the huge maze in the southeastern part of the continent.

Let me know what you think, if there's any tips. If you think I could pull it off, or if you think that's just WAY too big for a world map.

Everything I learn is going right into new projects, fixing bugs, and improving the gameplay experience.

Also, I thought this was the best forum for this thread, since the size of the world is an actual gameplay feature. As well, if it's too big, it could be game-breaking... So if this post should be moved, I apologize in advance.

Also, I have named each one of these locations so far, know what will be there, and the rough feel I'm going for in that town. Some towns are ports, some are mines, some are lumber yards.

So hopefully you can take that all into account and let me know what you think. This of course isn't a final version of the map, it's just the first fully filled in one. There is currently nothing else in this project but the map and the default assets.
