As we enter into the month of May, efforts to try and hammer through more developments for The New World Saga continues.

The first week of May focused around writing and mapping. At the moment, the goal is to complete mapping of all the primary areas of the game’s first section. This involves finetuning multiple smaller maps for about a dozen locations.

To share with you where development is at, here are a list of locations being worked on for the game’s first section.

• Forest Outskirts (Opening Area with a forest area and a pond section) – PROGRAMMED
• Home Town (with a cafe, bar, armor shop, weapon shop, grocery store and variety store. More locations in home town to follow) – PROGRAMMED
• Rob and Stan’s House (1st Floor, 2nd Floor, Basement, Outside, Garage, Clearing behind house) – PROGRAMMED
• Jefferson Farms (Main Farm, Farmhouse, Shed, Chicken Coop, Farm Fields) – SKETCHED
• Old Quarry (Quarry outside, Quarry Main Building, Quarry Basement, Quarry Basement 2) – PROGRAMMED
• Dream Locations (Stan’s Dream, Rob’s Dream, Keith’s Dream)
• Barbas’s Office
• High School (Cafeteria, Hallways, Courtyard, Classrooms, Parking Lot) – SKETCHED, HALF PROGRAMMED
• Cafe Basement (Home to one of the game’s early side quests) – SKETCHED
• Kendrickson Farms (Main Area, Farm Fields A, Farm Fields B) – SKETCHED
• Hunting Grounds (Forested area with seven segments) – SKETCHED
• The Get Lost Woods (Forested area with repeating section, Four segments total) – SKETCHED
• Forest Village (Village of woodland creatures. Home to one of the early side quests) – SKETCHED
• Wild Woodlands (Three segment dungeon) – PROGRAMMED
• Sabor’s Hut (One of the character’s homes. Outside and Inside Sections)

At this time, maps have been drawn out for all locations, with about half of the map’s programmed. More maps would have been programmed at this point, if not for an unfortunate program crash a week or so back. (REMEMBER KIDS, SAVE OFTEN!)

Here’s a rough outline of the world map for the first section of the game, based on these locations.

So plenty more development yet, but an end game for the first section is in sight!
