 The Death Sector gets mapped: there's...

The Death Sector gets mapped: there's now a full-sized map for the game. And not just any map, read on for more if you're interested.

Once the game was released, I figured I would put together the map for it. The 3 large bitmaps KiCHY provided for development fit together pretty seamlessly. However, due to the flip-screen nature of the game, the screens - that otherwise have a beautiful, organic look - have a harsh cut-off.

I thought... "I could use some of the existing assets to round out the rough edges (so to speak)". I started adding a few rocks to the cave system. I showed it to KiCHY, who (to my absolute delight) took on the project!

After more than a week of pixeling, he created something truly special. A picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at these nicely rounded cave rocks:


(Funny enough, the small red rocks became KiCHY's bane happy He said it was truly arduous work to add them all.)

Or even more drastic, look at the absolutely insane difference of a "filled out" city:


At 7000 x 2400 pixels, it's certainly one of the largest maps ever, but beyond that, I consider it to be one of the largest Plus/4 pieces of pixel art. I hope you guys spend a short while exploring it, getting lost in the details, and it brings you all enjoyment happy

What an undisputable beauty it is. And finally I can see what's beyond the colourcoded pillows that can't be removed.

I saw that the links to the videos have been added too, now only the cover/sleeve/cassette scans are missing.

I really like this expanded map, it's a shame that you can't explore the extra locations in the game. happy

(...and I secretly hope for a DS-II. grin )
