콘테스트 개요
This contest is for a digital map image of an imaginary town with some surrounding countryside. It will be used in an upcoming visual novel game for point-and-click navigation. I will give some direction for what I am looking for below, however I am flexible with the methods and tools you use. The contest will be won by the person who makes the most compelling art that is in line with my vision. Please feel free to ask questions!
About the game-world and town:
The year is 2022. After a mysterious invasion by otherworldly forces, humanity is on the defensive. In the USA many cities and towns have fallen, but a few have survived. This town is one of those fortunate few. It is small with only a few thousand inhabitants and its people survived by building a wooden wall around the town's perimeter. The town buildings are reasonably modern having been built between 1980 and 2000. Most buildings do not exceed a few stories in height.
Because the town map will be used as the centerpiece of a visual novel game that features point-and-click travel, there should be various Points Of Interest (POI) that visually stand out. The POI don't have to be highly detailed but they do need to be easily recognizable.
Town POI list:
- residential areas (mainly houses and green space)
- a town hall
- a high school
- a park (w/ trees, a field, a large pond, trails)
- a few retail shops (including a grocery market)
- an outdoor sports field (soccer fields, tennis courts, maybe even a running track)
- a run-down house (something kids might venture into on a dare)
- a restaurant/cafe
- a cemetery
- a police station
- a hospital
- an adult shop
- a church
- a farm (mostly agriculture, a small amount of livestock)
- town walls (made of wood, surrounding the entire town) and gate (on the north side of the town)
Outside town landscapes and POI:
- some forests (including a small lumber yard)
- some fields
- some hills (including a small mining site)
- a river
- a few ponds
You don't need to label the POI themselves, but they will each need a small visual indicator, which when rolled-over by the mouse cursor will pop up the name of POI (I will build this functionality in the game). You just need to make the small visual indicators. It needs to be clear, but not too distracting from the overall look of the map.
About the style of the map:
My favored design style for this contest is isometric. See this webpage for a great example: http://isometricmaps.com/how-to-use/
On a realism scale of 1 to 10 (where 1 is cartoon and 10 is realism) I'd prefer this map to be in the 7-8 range. Mostly realistic looking.
Even though this town is in a world that is ruined after a catastrophe, the feel of the image should be more hopeful than depressed. So use lighter colors when possible instead of darker colors. Not exactly cheerful but grass should be green, and it's a sunny day outside, etc... The buildings themselves are intact.
Other details:
The town should take up about 3/4 of the image, with the surrounding countryside taking up about 1/4 of the image. The viewer perspective is zoomed out (between maybe 500-1000 feet altitude?) and angled somewhere between ~45-85 degrees.
For various examples of what I'm seeking, Google image search for: "video game town map zoomed in". Many of these images show the general idea of what I'm seeking, however please keep in mind that I'd like something a little more realistic looking. My visual novel will be using realistic 3D renders and I don't want the style of the town map to be significantly different from the other content.
I will need editable files of your work so I can make changes to the map in the future.
Thank you... and good luck in the contest!
