I am building a text-based open-world RPG MUD, and wanted to put together a world map to help understand the extent of the world. The game is quite small now (just one town and the forest next to it, which are in the lower edge of the map, just right of center, Aetheria), but I am building the world such that the players discover and explore the various aspects of the world and interact with new towns and communities. So the map doesn't contain many labels or significant points of interest, only geographic features at the moment. Partly because it will take time to create all the points of interest and partly because I want to spark some imagination and intrigue with my players.

This is the first map I've created through Inkarnate, but I love the tool and the libraries. Happy to take any advice or critique.

Game Title: Hollow

Playable Link: https://hollowonline.com

Platform: Text-based MMORPG

Description: Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the basic idea is to bring back some of the classic text-based gameplay, but make it a little more accessible. Many titles in this genre require an immense amount of research and extra tools in order to have fun in the world. I am trying to open up many of those tools right away (mechanics, commands, helpers, etc.) so that there isn't as much of the research to develop a character. This is very much a beta project and will see many updates and changes, but your feedback is very welcome.

Some updates from last post:

• Incroporating dungeon-style play in some areas within the game, creating individual indstances for groups.
• Added weather atmospheres, including no-visability weather that minimizes information displayed to the user (this only happens 1.5% of the time, so quite rare)
• Improved some of the vitals tracking and messaging
• Cleaned up a few bugs

Notes:

• I am working on a good Discord / Twitch workflow for login, but it isn't currently up yet.
• Many of the messaged to other characters in the room (other than your own) are still a little buggy.
• Spells only consist of a basic spell for each class, but I will start working on more advance spells for higher levels.

I am also adding in a few AI elements to help make the world come to life.
