    Default Thunder in the East map (WIP)

    Here is the map that has been monopolizing my time for the last couple of months or so. Its the first installment of a game that will eventually cover the entire European Theater of Operations in World War II. This is the first game in the series, the next three will cover the war in the West, in North Africa, and in Northern Europe. Its a huge project, and the amount of detail the game designer and developers need is daunting. But I am now almost finished this part of it so I thought I would show it off here.

    Impressive!

    Tell me the numbering of each hexagon was automated and you didn't have to do it manually?!

    Nope. All done manually. But not all done by me. After doing about 20 columns I wrote to the developer/publisher and said if he wanted the map done on time he would have to get somebody else to fill in the rest, as it was driving me nuts and taking forever to do!

    Its a nightmare. At least it is for me since the graphics will never be done. It is supposed to be 5 linked monster games, 4 of which will need maps and aircraft graphics from me. Well, OK, maybe the graphics will get done but its long past being the fun project it started out as. Currently I am working on the last of the air units

    That's impressive, very impressive. I can stay interested in projects for years, but not in a continuous stream like that, about a month and half is about my limit then I take break, so I feel your pain.
