Programmer Art - Could use some improving ;)

Monday, November 16, 2015 - 06:04

Hello All :)

I just want to enquire would anyone be able to assist me with a personal project of mine. Basically here is a game I am currently working on as a hobby:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=554609870

I have the following image for my world map:

I need to make it much higher resolution as I need to make it clear when zoomed in. This is where my skills end really. Would this be something someone here would be able to do? I would be happy to add you to the credits as a thank you. Also I am totally ok if you want to add it to a portfolio or anything.

Thanks,

Gerard.

Well, I'm just a programmer, but here's a 'programmer art' solution for you, why not try converting the whole thing to a vector based image? That way at least it wouldn't get blurry when you zoomed in/out. To be honest, that might also be a better fit for the rest of your art which is very clean, not at all weathered and textured like the map is.

Hello gmorris,

I had some time on my hands and was in the mood for worldmaps so I drew a SVG for your picture.

As capbros said it fits the style of your other graphics and is perfect for scaling/zooming.

As the original was rather pixelated I had to improvise a bit. Hope it fits your purpose.

Should you use it a quick link to my page would be kind =) (www.2d-rp.de) Thanks.

Greetings!

Hey there.

Thanks for that! I originally ruled out using vector based images as I seemed to have issues with them in Unity but I will spend time and find a way to make them work hehe.

I will credit this work to you in the credits with a thanks so and link to that. With my next dev release which I do each few weeks, I will link to your page too in the release notes :)

Thanks.
