Exactly 10 years ago today, I finished what I consider my first proper city-map, called Northgate. I remember back then it took me an entire month to draw it, and I never wanted to do it again because I found it so incredibly tiresome to make then.
A few months ago this year, I wanted to refresh that map and fix it up a bit. This led to me eventually deciding to remake the entire thing altogether, because I know that remakes are very -in- these days.
Not only did I remake the entire map with more details and improve upon it based on older feedback for the map, I rewrote the city's history, and I repurposed it completely to fit the new narrative of my Nym setting. While the general layout is still the same as the old map, Stalward is an entirely re-imagined city set in a new region from its predecessor.
Also, more importantly, in the process of remaking my Stalward map, it led me to create what I refer to as a "Map Game", which is what I've been working on obsessively over the last few months.
