Early work on BigDungeon took a wrong turn in development. I was enamored with making the map look different and whipped up an alternate style from the typical square grid dungeon- the big hex dungeon. It was a cool idea but strayed a bit too far from tradition for my tastes after dealing with it for a while.
A portion of one map is below for the curious to get a glimpse at what will never be and some of what I was spent dungeon development time on.
You know, though, if you increased your scale a bit you could make each hex actually a locale that could be mapped out on a one-page dungeon or some other compact format. It'd be akin to the "underworld as wilderness" concept you see pop up every now and again.
ReplyDeleteWell, The Fantasy Trip used hex-based dungeons, I think.
