My name is Max, and I've been making game maps for a few years now! My gallery of 800+ maps is available on DeviantArt and GDrive, but I also have breakdown videos on YT and prints on Etsy. Links and previews in the thread below if you are curious! DMs, questions and feedback are welcome. Enjoy! 🧵

it kills enemies with 1/2 heart lifebars but only stuns the rest i think.

more midgar progress! getting close now that it has enough landmarks for a video i want to use it for, but mostly unpolished. with a lil illustration of where the Sister Ray is installed (facing north/northwest) late Disc 2.

there should've been a running gag like MGS3 where his bag just gets caught on stuff on his way in each time

sector 4 & 3, original vs. remake. from 3 city blocks to 30+

much easier to draw 20 screens worth of simple stuff!

now the author is bleating about beating the woke mob like a dipshit. at least they made those folks happy! I've gotten a couple books from @bitmapbooks.com in the past but no more going forward, pathetic

yeah the different views and stuff were crazy, especially moments like climbing to the plate. they pulled it off, despite being a bizarre concept. (why build a floating plate with miles of undeveloped grassland in all directions?)

Midgar's scale is all outta whack if you look at it from far away + up close. but i figure it doesn't matter much since the game itself is kinda scaled weirdly, just focusing on the landmark areas, but still wonky to reconcile
