Development progress and current status:
TBD
----------
When I told the devs I wanted to start mapmaking, they jokingly said "well, you wanted to do Iceland xD". And so it happened. Since Iceland is an island, it's a good project for someone who just started mapmaking. I'm new with the editor, but after a weekend of playing with some stuff there, it seems I'm picking it up rather quickly.
Planned towns:
- Reykjavík: City (released)
- Akureyri: City (released)
- Reyðarfjörður (previously Fjarðabyggð): City (released)
- Seyðisfjörður: Ferry point from/to Hirtshals (released)
- Keflavík International Airport: City (released)
- Höfn: Tiny town with gas station & 1 farm (released)
- Vík: Tiny town with gas station & service station (released)
- Blönduós: Small town with gas station, service station and hotel (released)
- Ólafsvík (planned)
- Ísafjörður (planned)
- Akranes (in development)
The only answer I can give you: I have no idea.
I'll keep you informed of any progress. Any constructive feedback is appreciated. I'm working closely with the other developers.
I'm keeping a Google Maps map for planning, brainstorming, information keeping, etcetera. I'll keep updating this map, but nothing on this map should be considered final. As for my color coding;
- Red is the main road and the biggest town. It'll make little sense to make Iceland without these. I'll probably include this stuff, one way or another.
- Black are secondary roads I currently plan to include, and any industries or other facilities. This will likely change, but is my current plan of action.
- Yellow is anything that could be taken into consideration. I'll leave the options open for these. I may build crossings so it's possible to connect a road later, for example. But it's very well possible these things will never be made.
- Blue is the (planned) snowline. Anything north of this line will be snowy, anything south will be grassy.
