Dev Diary 54: Lost N Found (Patreon)

Hellooooooooooooooo mutants,

I have some phenomenal news for you today! 

While looking for a lost piece of artwork in my extensive online archives, I found all the "lost" maps for a Van Buren project I was amusing myself with, prior to going public in 2014. Some of the maps go waaaaay back to summer of 2008! This is incredible as I though these were long lost in a HD crash. Hooray! :D 

So what does this mean for the game, you might be asking yourself? 

Well, it means that many, many of the game locations have their substantial mapping done! Yes, some maps are completely done, some require custom art and some additional touchups. But restoring these maps probably reduced the dev time by a year, maybe even more! It took me 2 days just to sort them out and figure what goes where.

Everything is falling into place right now and I feel grateful that I can share this moment with you all :'D

Talk to you soon,

-PJ
