Japan Map [abandoned]

Righty... Here's the story.

I'm really sorry for the long wait that you've all had to go through. But I have made a huge mistake.

I've lost the map file and I cannot find any backups of it. I found out the other day that my brother had formatted the hard drive it was on.

I'm not gonna give up on it now. I'll look into recreating it over christmas as I know it was popular among some people and I will try my best to make it resemble the previous version, if not better. (Hey maybe I can get some anti aliasing into it

)

I'm really, really sorry about this guys. But I assure you that I want this map on the site and I was really pissed off when I found I had lost it.

...Yeah, that's not good. Well, you need any help, gimme a ring, because I can't wait for this map!

Just an update. I am working on the map as we speak, thank god most of the hard work was already done.

This time I got Inkscape instead of GIMP. We'll see how it pans out.

Next week or so and I'll bring back a first image of the new one.

Inkscape is better for labels and circles and connections and stuff, but it's a pain to put in textures or even colors.

Ok I lied, I'm using a combination of the two...

Inkscape sucks, gimp is good for drawing borders, photoshop is good for prettying it up.

*whines about not being able to play this yet*

Ok so I promised this a while ago but it is back in development... And to prove it here is the skeleton image. It will have the playability issues we discussed earlier all that will be touched up is the graphics side of it.

It must be very annoying to have to start everything from scratch. I admire and appreciate your efforts and determination. It was already a great map before you had that accident with the hard disk. Good luck!

why is it not in final forge any more?

Because I believe Haydena has to start over.

Unfortunately that is the case :oops:

.

I'm going to try and make it as close to the original as humanly possible so don't worry

.

Let's see if I can get this done before April, that's when I first brought this to light :roll:

YAY! Then the karma police will stop chasing you. :wink:

Thanks for your endurance Haydena.

It's been a while, progress is slow, but expect an update soon

Thought I'd bring this off page 2.

Dude, this is such an effort to go to to avoid having to play against me on the first game on your new map and losing ;-)

Sorry to hear that, and glad you're prepared to restart, it's my most looked forward to map since its conception.

Shh, I didn't want anyone to know! Damn guess the secret is out now :roll:

.

Well I'm working on it as I speak, I'll get something up today.

Sorry guys, this thing is gonna have to be put on hold until the end of June for sure. It's had a little bit done to it here and there but I have some big exams coming up and I can't find the time to finish it...
