Andor's Trail

Hello how are you. My country is quarantined by the virus and I decided to make a small contribution to this spectacular game to which I have dedicated good time. I don't know if I was wrong to use images from the game itself but I did it with the best of intentions
I present to you an area blessed by Elythara. Everyone calls it the golden hill thanks to its trees whose leaves are always yellow or orange, full of streams and streams. It was always a happy and kind-hearted community who work the strong wood that their golden trees give, but recently time the forests became dangerous creatures that they had never seen began to annoy their villagers

I hope you like it I would like to continue making images like this

You obviously created this in Tiled. There are a few issues (mainly trees overhanging the ground at the map edges), but such things can be fixed. Do you have more? Importantly, was this created using the layers that AT supports (Ground, Objects, Above, and although it's not advertised, Top)?

Oh no i created the image with Photoshop and the images from the wiki and screenshots from mi phone xD. I have more ideas of this golden forest but this is the first picture. If i can use a better program for make this pls tellme

Sorry for mi English

The reason to create such maps in Tiled would be that we can potentially use them in the game. That would be more restrictive than Photoshop in terms of layout, but usable maps have a reasonable chance of being published.

Hi Amarante,

we thought at first you have created your picture in Tiled, which is a program we use for creating the maps. On second glance it couldn't be though. The trees are not completely in line and you have NPCs around. This could not be done in Tiled.
Although it would save us time if some of these maps were to get into the game, I'd understand if you stay with photoshop: You are more in design phase and don*t have to deal with the nasty little details… Also some things like people or animals wouldn*t work.

I really like your picture. It is something that could be printed out and pinned to the wall.
It*d be nice if you bring some story around each picture, like you already did. This is inspiring for further quests or storyline.

The images you have used are open source. Some artists want to be mentioned anywhere. But I'd say if you put your pictures here in the forum, it is obvious, that they have the same source as the game itself - so no problem. (Artists see author page in Andor's trail)

Btw. welcome to the forum

I found the info of mapmaking in the forum. I'm making the map in tiled. Soon u can see the entire map

Ok not to be a sullied on this,but is this going to be more of a fall setting or a like in Zelda and golden axe of being a northern area. This would be good leading into a area north of brimhaven would make sense. Why go from green to darkness. @nut, @rj and tom

There's definitely upcoming areas that could use a unique look. I like it!

This is the altar of Elythara what do u think?
