How am I looking, anons?
Cerulean; inspired by YAFRH, Surge is the leader here and runs the Corps of Engineers, who diverted the Moon Falls reservoir through a series of caverns around Route 9 to generate hydroelectric power for the Power Plant on Route 10. The Cerulean Caverns (connected via the red line) are to be a labyrinthine replacement for Cerulean Cave.
Might need to expand Nugget Bridge map to account for the slope of Mt. Moon though.
Route 10; the shrub is a placeholder for a cut tree. Not much has changed except to account for the implementation of the CC opening. I just never got what that body of water was supposed to be, some blocky mountain lake? Did it have anything to do with the Power Plant?
These are things I hope to explore in the hack.
Also, the whole Unifying Road Network thing I had in mind at first is being phased out. I had a revelation as I worked on Route 22's redesign; in the Pokemon World, most people probably have a mount capable of taking them at least a few miles over to the nearest commercial community (like if you live in Pallet you can probably take your Pidgeot or ride your Tauros or whatever over to Viridian for groceries without worrying about wild pokemon.)
Some roads can be sensible in that they facilitate trade, but others (like Pallet>Viridian and Cerulean>Rock Tunnel, etc.) just become unnecessary.
>>27322823I have a thread at Pokecommunity but it's almost 5 months old and the screens and demo are from the first very rough version. I'd rather just keep it mostly confined to asking for map feedback on /heg/ for now.
