Update 09/24/22

I've started using Arcweave to map out the locations in Signal Hill, trying to get a solid baseline in place before I continue fleshing them out. I got Skid Row done, and made a good amount of progress on the Red Light District. Everything else is just sort of being sketched out. Hopefully I'll have the chance to work on them more when I get home.

Dark green represents potential player homes, light green represents stores, yellow represents conversations, and pink represents stories. A red line means an additional option at a different location can be unlocked by doing something in this location.

How development is planned to work, I'll flesh out each area to a certain extent in the first demo, and then as time goes on new locations will be added and new content will be added to the existing locations. The goal is to progress the game with the players, meaning all of the content in the demo will be aimed at new players and new content will get more difficult/have more requirements to access it as time goes on.

Of course, this is all just a sort of rough sketch of the world. Beta testing this game is going to be very... interesting. A lot of the questions I'll ask are going to be things like "which places do you feel are the least interesting?" and "do any of the places feel less fleshed out?" and hopefully that'll help me perfect the world map.
