bestie I just saw your map of stellis and I am SCREAMING /POS THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND BRAINCELLS NEEDED.... THAT'S SO COOL??? Zak you srsly never fail to amaze me
eyyo, cloud! and HDKJBDGKS THANK U!!!
my braincells r Hurting, HAHA. this map is taking a Lot of crosschecking and a bunch more "oopsie doodle, this location cant actually be here or else it will cause a discrepancy to 3 other locations" and it's a challenge tryna figure it out but it's exhilarating as well!!! like, along with the full image of the map i'll also be adding a full writeup of each district's description (based on canon Big Data Lab entries) + my own headcanons on how that district interacts with the others around it. cuz putting the locations in the places that make the most sense made me realize holy mOLY, stellis is an interesting place.
like for example, long beach and hemingway heights is primarily populated by either academics or foreigners, and i put the airport district close to it because if many foreigners choose to live there, itd make sense it's close to the airport for convenient later travels. the airport district used to be combined with the golden beach industrial zone and formerly named stellis harbor, but then they split into their own districts due to the different kinds of development the district went to. golden beach industrial zone counts for a huge amount of stellis' gdp, and yet it's next to north stellis, the poorest district in the entire city thats littered with industrial areas that fell into disrepair
LIKE. IDK. IT'S RLLY FUN CUZ IN MAKING THIS MAP, IM GETTING A CLEARER IMAGE ON HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE SETTING TOO. ive been talking about This Map to my girlfriend a lot, in terms of process and how im piecing things together, and she said "YOU SOUND LIKE A CUTE TOUR GUIDE TALKING ABOUT A REAL PLACE" HAHA
anyway, thank you, cloud!!!! and also, for funsies, heres the map so far
waterfront is giving me a gosh dang headache since thats (most probably) the central business district, SO MUCH SHIT IS IN THERE. plus, i still have to figure out where to put marius' art studio (his gps location on mc's phone) aaaaaand the entirety of south stellis kjbkJBAJDK
SORRY FOR RAMBLING KDJBFKSDJFS!! THANK U FOR UR KIND WORDS :DDD
