About my october mappers challenge...

Posted by tparigo on 2 November 2016 in English.

Hi everyone,

For my octobre challenge I focused on an Island here. This Island is located in the Midi archipelago which is a very touristic area.

I concentrated my mapping on land use, coast line and details in the some villages. I am quite pleased with the result even if some things could be way better.

Unfortunaltly, october was not long enough for me to finish this project. I will try to complete it as soon as i can.

Happy Mapping Thomas

About my may mappers challenge

Hi mappers,

For my may mappers challenge, i decided to detail central Troie. Mapping speaking, i am still in may. Here

I focused on the old city and a northern/central district and some parks.

I wanted this city to have

*a complex geography and topography. I didn’t want to make a “flat city” with a linear coast.

*a not rationnal city and not perfect city,

*a rich historical and cultural background. I hope a part of the city history can be read on the map.

As a port, Troie has many foreigners communities. So if you want to open a consulate and/or a cultural center in Troie, just contact me. If you want to include a community from your country in the history of Troie, contact me, we’ll define a neighborhood and some historical background.

Happy mapping !

Troie

Hi everyone, I consider central Troie to be finished (it has voluntarily no tram net nor metro net).

You can connect your country or city to Troie by :

=> the passenger ferry terminal (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/-17.8325/21.4163)

=> the International airport (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-17.7574/21.4712)

Trying to be realistic !

Posted by tparigo on 13 November 2015 in English.

I am going on the mapping process of two cites :

Belleville (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-17.5823/20.7416) where i redesigned the southern and eastern district to make it more realistic. The city also has a metro network of 4 lines. When finished it should be a 1 million inhabitants city.

Troie (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-17.8392/21.4234) now has an international airport and a new harbor. I try to keep the topography realistic which is the hardest ! The mapping of the two there cities in the Troie metropolitan area should start soon (Charleville and Sansévérina).

Each city has now its wiki page which i’ll try to complete.
