#videogame map

Since I was already playing, I thought "why not?" This is not an official map: I just stitched together all local in-game maps the best I could, added whatever information I could find online about Faerum and, of course, let my mind run wild to fill the gaps.

Small rant with writing errors.

You know how, I want to write my fanfic. And the Plaza's map is so big, it's confusing to figure out which attraction to go to. And thinking if I may need to change something. To make sure that they're going the right way. To and from the right way.

Especially, writing a Plaza that has been broken down, and so many things would be blocked off. (I tell myself not to over complicate things. And I don't have to write it, exactly how it should look. Or limit where to go.)

It's just because I find it confusing. :/

Just reflecting on the time when I was so familiar with some of the Castlevania titles that I was able to pretty accurately (the swooping lines between rooms represent missed connections) reproduce their maps from memory. These are from three of the handheld games -- Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, and Dawn of Sorrow -- and appear to have been drawn during late 2011.

For my last playthrough of Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest, I drew up a map for help and also for fun. Here it is. There are a few mistakes, like the couple of towns that were too small at first. Somehow, it fit onto a single piece of graph paper, although a couple of three-square rooms might be a unit short; I treated each square as one “screen” on the TV. The “M”s are mansions. I only started mapping with the mansion in the middle, which is why it’s too big relative to what the map became, and why the paths around it are kinda messed up.

Happy 2015, everybody! (Well, as happy a 2015 as anyone can expect, I guess.)

I've re-opened my online shop and am selling gaming map prints again (along with Baywheux tapestry prints), though I'm running low on stock (I'm already out of NES Hyrule Overworld prints), and am not likely to reprint any of these maps until sometime this summer, and even then I may end up printing these at about half of their current 24x36-inch size.

Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying that if there's a particular print of mine that you'd like to own at the biggest possible size, you'll probably want to place an order sooner rather than later.

I was hoping to have this completely finished before Halloween (I'm still fooling around with adding color to this map, and I want to add enemies/treasure locations to the cutaway of the Castle on the bottom), but that'll have to wait until mid-November.

Until then, enjoy these jpegs of the realm of Castlevania circa 1476 - 1698, covering the time period between Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, NES Castlevania and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

Happy Halloween!
