Title: Interest Check - Massive Public Map Pack?
Post by: ShadowFang1355 on June 21, 2020, 08:03:20 am
If I was to make large, detailed maps and make them public, how many people would actually use them? I'm wondering this because I've been in the mood to make maps now that I'm here again, but at the same time I'm unsure.

How many people would look through and-or actively use my maps if I get the motivation to make them?


Here's a few scenic examples of what I've made before, I might include the map seen in the final image;

Ooh! I certainly like the maps, but I don't think alot of us will move our butts out of The Grounds. I'm definitely onboard with your idea, but I just don't know if it will work out.

I think you should make it regardless.
Even if people don't visit often, there is likely to be a roleplay group out there that will find a desire to use it, as it may fit their theme, plot, or they haven't been able to find a map as big or as detailed as yours. Someone will always find a use in your creation, that's the wonderful side of Feral Heart.
Although I do advise that you be careful with the objects you use, as some cause more lag than others and it's always good to figure out a way most people won't lag, or lag minimally. As there are some maps out there that are lovely and detailed, but too much has caused it to be really difficult to be in for large roleplay groups. Especially if you're using weather, so be sure to keep that in mind!

Really love this map. When you'll finish this map, please, send me PM. It's really beautiful. <3

Hey, I love me a good map pack to explore, so honestly I'd love it if you did! I don't find many usermade maps to go run around in anymore that I haven't seen before, so it would def be a change of pace for me! I hope you make it! THose screenshots look wonderful!

They have a really wonderful look! If I had experience enough to make a group I would definetly go for one of your maps! I'm sure many peeps with groups would love to explore them.

Based on the replies I've gotten so far, I think I'll go ahead with the idea.

I'll sketch out a map that I can break up into different parts before I get started.

I'll post an update once I get some sort of progress.

Those maps are very gorgeous. I support the idea of releasing them!

These maps are breathtaking, and I'd be very interested in exploring them. I feel like I'd be able to take some gorgeous screenies in them too. Wonderful work, and I look forward to seeing future progress/if you release them!

Those screens look so lovely. Your map work must be really pretty! I certainly would love to run through a map pack like that if you made <3 Often when I get bored and just want to get away for a bit and explore a world I’ll download random map packs. Even if a lot of people don’t use it you never know who might and who will enjoy them. Plus you might really just enjoy the process of making them! If you’ve got the time and desire why not go for it? :)

So happy to hear that you're going to be releasing this thus far <3
From what I see already, it looks like a fun and chill place to just hang out, rp or even explore in so I'm all for it!
I don't download a lot of maps as much as I used to, but this one I would definitely try once it's done!

When I start working on the maps, I'll update the name of this thread to match the name of the map when I post any progress.

I already have it named and planned out now, however, progress will be pretty slow so heads-up on that.
