I started working on a NEW overworld.

[DustyPorViva]

Yay. It's that time again to start working on my level skills. I decided to start a new overworld(old one can be found here: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=81506).

This one will be much larger(haha @ Cubical), but be developed around the basis of island travel. I'm not talking just boats and such, though. I imagine a variety of ways to travel between islands, from expansive bridges, cave systems, underwater(diving) hidden passages.

The current real map:


The layout(though I'm deviating from it as I go):


I know there's not much here at the moment, but I think posting the progress and getting input would be better for me, and allow me to gather more motivation to work on it than I have had.

you're dead to me but in all seriousness I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

Stop right here. You've developed enough and you've made it clear that you have no interest developing an actual server. So just stop, you seem to get everyone excited by what you're doing but you just don't want to follow through. Tease.

very interesting cliffing on the coast!

You spent a lot of time on development. However, you never put these bad boys to the test. I don't see why you don't turn all of your great things into a "server" because that's what most people dream of doing when they're developing. Everyone knows your capabilities in Graal Development and its amazing. But I don't know who you're trying to impress, or if it really is just a game for you to make your own private projects.

Just curious why you wouldn't want to be a Manager of a server on the Classic tab. Not that it would help Graal's problem for that matter.

I never put them to the test because I don't intend to. This is only the second overworld I have ever worked on, and the first I lost with a HDD failure.

I don't make levels much, but I do prefer to stay well-versed and be able to manage them on my own, so that takes practice. That's exactly what these overworlds are for. In the end they probably won't have the functionality or thought put into them that I prefer to have in my worlds, as it takes a lot of thought and planning to make an overworld that flows correctly and makes sense(at least in my opinion). Thus even if I were to finish this, I'd probably consider it useless to make a server out of.

It's all a matter of keeping up practice and killing a little time. It's also not like I selfishly keep all my work to myself so no one else can use it to try to do something for themselves.

why not try making an overworld you can turn into a world then? you seem to get more content finished than most UC servers do in their entire up time with a team of staff: why not put it to good use? what you consider useless, the majority of graal will consider awesome (as in every single person who seems to post in your release threads and gives + rep)

I have no desire to. If I had the drive to make a server, I'd have just completed my last project instead of starting a new one from scratch.
