    Default April 2021 Challenge: Netrunner's Guide

    To demonstrate that this challenge is more flexible than some think, I'll be doing a fairly conventional dungeon map. So, how is it cyberpunk? Well, in classic cyberpunk fashion I'm ignoring how computers actually work. This is a (likely virtual) page in a "netrunner's guide" showing the cyberspace structure of a section of a corporation's computer systems, represented to the hacker as a fantasy environment. Monsters and traps represent defensive software, libraries represent data storage, a forge might represent computerized factory equipment, etc.

    My first hour of work has not produced much to show, as I spent most of it looking for possible fonts to use, but here is a background, autogenerated in GIMP and colored to reinforce the Circuit theme. It's just a background and should largely end up covered, but other than the labels, this is the cyberpunkification part. At least, I've got something to post before the last minute!

    Not a lot of visible progress, but there are cats! Nothing says that you're in cyberspace more than cats!

    Things are laid out now. I still need to finish furnishing, adding some additional labels, giving the labels some glow.

    I think this is going to have to be it. I had my second COVID shot yesterday and I am feeling it a bit, but opening up existing files as layers, rotating and scaling, moving them where I want, and making the text readable, those I could do.

    Much of the iconography should be obvious, though even I'm not sure exactly what the crystals and mushrooms represent. There were a couple of things I would have liked to add if I could have found them, but I think this worked out pretty well.

    I expect the mushrooms represent cookies and the crystals represent data packs.

    Well, the cookies represent cookies. They're next to the Java.

    Buddhas are just for the obligatory East Asia influence.
