MEGA MAN LEGENDS 2 - Pokte Village & Ruins. i didn't like the separate islands at the time bc I liked 1's interconnected map, but it does let the areas have more variety. also, Bombchu Bowling Girl had nothing on Pokte Village Mayor. (and her ridiculous quiz)

i know some of my mutual followers on here are from the UK. so how is it i've seen ZERO posts about the red/invasive gray SQUIRREL WAR that has the isles in turmoil! are people afraid to speak out??

World Map Squall doesn't know where you're hiding, but he knows you're nearby...

Final Fantasy VIII (PS1) added to the library (1766 assets): characters, bosses, monsters with animations, Guardian Forces summons and effects playback, World Map with trains, Gardens, Lunatic Pandora and story events, pre-rendered fields, battle stages, Triple Triad cards. #ff8 #ffviii #retrogames

added a little JS tool to my site I had written a bit ago for WILD ARMS and cleaned up. select PNG folder or copy/paste screen clips and drag each near their position, it auto-snaps by pixel if possible. i use this process for stitching emulator screenshots, noclip screenshots etc.

this summer I drew a full world map of ANGELINE ERA! a modern bumpslash classic I know many of you are familiar with. highly recommend. take a look at the result below! and if you aren't familiar, check out the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

Happy to announce you can now buy WORLD MAP POSTER of ANGELINE ERA!!! This is a collab with @vgcartography.bsky.social who makes a lot of great video game maps. Get out the full-size poster with each overworld region over at our merch store!!! analgesicproductions.bigcartel.com/product/ange...

GTA4 down ๐Ÿค“ 1) make basemap 2) draw routes 3) make mission flowchart 4) animate flowchart and names 5) add map zooms and pans on blank map 6) replace blank w route maps, copy anims so i can fade while zooming 7) export, narrate, match map timing to narration 8) lose faith in idea throughout 9) viola

GTA San Andreas camera programming finally done ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ 3/5 of the way there, BUT this is the longest one, so I'm trying to power through since i'm over the hump (60/60/100/90/70 missions for GTA3-5). not sure how i'm gonna narrate this mf. roughly 1-2 weeks per game to prep these after drawing the maps

we have started another Book Map. no official version this time

THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH - The Lands Beyond ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ a rare bit of non-VG cartography, adapted from the 1961 original in-book map! my son has been (re)reading it lately and we made this together over the weekend, he helped pick out various characters to depict and stuff. i always loved it. ๐Ÿ“–

RESIDENT EVIL 2 (2019) - RPD map! this was fun to finally assemble and appreciate, hoping to do a similar project with sewers and lab. I love OG RE2 but the remake is one of my all-time favorites ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธhttps://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/art/Resident-Evil-2-2019-RPD-Police-Station-Map-1315877070

RESIDENT EVIL (2002) - the whole game in one illustration! finally finished this after starting it back in 2022, pretty happy with how it turned out. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ www.deviantart.com/vgcartograph... #residentevil

TOY STORY 2 - Andy's House ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ escape the clutches of Andy, a maniacal child known for mangling and reassembling his toys in grotesque ways. you can sense the evil radiating even in this map (note toxic waste leak in basement)

DONKEY KONG 64 - Angry Aztec ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธin which i am thankful for the "tag anywhere" romhack i am using in this playthrough (my first where im trying to find everything for mapping)

DONKEY KONG 64 - Jungle Japes ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ in which coconut cannons aid ape escapes. this game pushes the absolute limits of partitioned primate trinket collecting, it's a sick scientific experiment in a way.
