World Map!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have, for the first time in my life, actually completed an entire world map! Most people may be thinking, "What's the big deal? That's probably easy!" They may be right, but it's not as easy as most would think. It's a challenge making a world map that doesn't feel completely bland. I've gotten the whole thing fleshed out, and all locations marked (but not nearly complete with maps), but only one island is fully complete with all location maps done.

Now it's time for a screenshot! Note that this view of the map is very zoomed out so it's very difficult (impossible) to see all of the smaller locations:







Now that the world map is out of the way, I think I'm going to start on something I've been putting off for awhile now, which is making the slot machine minigame. I'm going to include a casino type area in the game with slots, blackjack, slime races, and an arena event where the player will choose a party member to fight in a series of battles.

The slot machine is going to be a nightmare, along with blackjack. I've been putting the slot machine off because it will be hard to do, and I'm putting the blackjack minigame off because I don't have the graphics for the playing cards yet. Look for slot machine progress in the next update.
