Ideas for Cave Map?
« on: June 29, 2016, 12:10:37 am »
Not sure if this topic goes here, but oh whale. Anyway, I'm making a cave map for my pack and I want it to be cool. xD And I don't really know what to put in it. What kinds of things would you see in a cave?

If you go into a cave deep enough... I would see like... a giant water spot, like a small pool like area. A few stalactites / mites and possibly some crystals ~

( Not saying this should be a thing, just throwing things that were at the top of my head, Lol ).

Haha! Thanks for the ideas! ^^ I have a big water area, too.

How about trying to put dapples of plants. Not too many, but some.
Maybe some prey?
Maybe some holes (Black portals) To different channels and dens?

If my pack had a cave...

I'd want something like a underwater cave or a underground lake and such OWO maybe some ceiling crystals? Oh, oh, and also MANY places to climb and sleep on and.. and stuff to hide in!! Like bushes and rocks, pew! Probably i'd also like something like a "mini tunnel" in order to enter the de, to keep it a lil more secretive n' such.

I think it would be awesome for there to be secret places in the cave, maybe an underwater entrance to a few rooms, also a lot of places to climb would be awesome too!

If you're in a universe where humans used to inhabit, you could perhaps put an abandoned mine shaft in there with old tracks and mine carts. Maybe some old sticks of dynamite laying around?

I don't believe this quite belongs in the Help board, so I will move your thread over to the Work in Progress Maps and Map Discussion board, that way, people will know that you want some input for a map of yours.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

Hmmpft, I don't want to be the one who spoils my own maps, but I have some good ideas.

Many have said underwater passageways, rooms, etc. Yes, and make them extra secretive -- blend them in with the surroundings. Put rocks and foliage around the entrances. Hide portals underwater and use the same tactics of blending them in.

A nice water pool is a good idea too, make it inhabitable and as if there is life there. Not all caves can be dark and dreary places, some can be full of energy and life. Perhaps a unique creature lives there? Perhaps it was an old temple or ruin in the olden days? There are so many possibilities!

A good thing to do it make your own meshes, not hand-made Blender ones (unless you want to dabble with that). Hand-made objects from the pre-made objects such as the shapes and such. You can do anything your heart desires with those, all you need it some textures and patience.

Well, there's my advice. Most of it was rambling, aha.
