Dev Diary 14: Map progress update (Patreon)

Heya mutants!
The humongous map file struggled but I managed to squeeze it into the game engine! My graphics card even reset itself once during the process since I was juggling multiple images of over 1 GB in size each.
So to summarize, there's still a LOT of work to be done with the map and it certainly won't be finished fully for the first release. Why is that you may ask...
Because this map is exactly 5 times the size of Fallout 2 map. That's right. 5. Times. Bigger.
The encounter file is now already over 8000 lines in length and will grow much more.
I still have to clean it up from the encounters specific for Fallout 2 before the first release so that will take some time too.
We're getting there, one map square at a time!
