November 2017 Challenge: The Grain Elevator

[Daistallia]

Not a complete map so no WIP tag, just the base floor plans of the elevator.

Good, I'm curious to see what that will do. What I don't get for the moment are arrows to the watchtowers which go through the drawing, at first I took them for real objects (sort of cables), you could perhaps put several "watchtowers" labels ? Just my opinion of course

[Daistallia]

Exvellent feedback. Next version will make it clearer.

Yep, haven't fixed the area map yet - it'll be bigger and labled differently, among other things.

Opinions on the fonts for the info boxes?

Some options:

Any thoughts?

I like your zombies and soldiers.

I do feel the white background distracts me from your actual map. And spending a few minutes with a random brush on loooow opacity and adding some shading to the ground and the river would go a long way to make it more immersive. Try it. From experimenting, some things open massive doors for future maps.

I hope that helps. Good luck for the last few days.

Do have plans for most of that. Main question is the fonts.

Very immersive concept. I like it a lot. For the fonts, I like the old typewriter looking font.
This one:

I feel it captures the feel of the military trapped in a grain elevator the best. At least from the military perspective that is the font that I think they would use if they were producing this map.
