6 Years of Maps: Photoshop Archives! (Patreon)
Content
Hello all!
A few days ago we shared the first official event of our 6 year anniversary celebration, "Open the Vault" (as well as the Annual Patron Survey before that). This is a temporary gift of a year's worth of content, but is also most only useful for our Pilgrim and Strategist tier supporters, as Explorer+ patrons already have access to the entire backlog.
So, with that in mind, may I introduce the Photoshop Archives! One of the perks some of our Explorer+ tier patrons take advantage of is the use of the raw Photoshop files I release with each map wherein they can dissect elements of the map as they wish. While I have consistently released those PSD files with each individual post, there has never been an organized "compilation" of sorts for that content like there is for.. pretty much everything else. Until now!
Because these files are oftentimes much larger than the map JPEGs they produce, there's no real feasible way for me to "bundle" them up together like I do other things. So I'm doing the next best thing and making sure every map's PSD file is organized and located in the same place, the Map Archive!
The Archive is a resource that's already existed for finding links to the entire backlog of releases and is helpful in that you can filter it by type, theme, and collection. As of today what is also included in each listing is a direct download to each map's PSD file, including older maps for which the PSD files have not been publicly available in quite some time.
The only exception to this being maps for which the PSD file has been lost (just a couple of the earliest maps, had a computer badly damaged a few years back) or in the event that a map's location has multiple PSD files in which case I redirect back to the map's original patreon post.
Enjoy! Thanks for 6 years!
