Part 23: Terrain fill in and finishing touches.

Part 23

Apologies for the late update. Been extremely busy lately.

Johto is now finished so it is time to fill in the surrounding terrain.
Starting in the west the method was place chunks of terrain around the built up areas of the map.

This image was used to form the mountains, river and lakes in Johto.

The chunks of terrain were smoothed out for a more natural look.

Moving south to Azalea town and Ilex forest there is a large expanse of land. It was completely flat which made it easy to complete.

A mix of Oak and Dark Oak trees were planted to blend Ilex forest into the surrounding landscape.

Moving back west to the Safari Zone where the mountains were formed.

Tree planting and growing is a time-consuming process. Until I find a way to grow trees instantly they will be growing naturally.

Heading East it is much the same process as before. Chunks of land that are then smoothed out.

In the northeast quadrant of Johto, there is a mix of mountains and plateaus. More on this area later.

Moving back south again it's just tree growing.

Moving back north (these screenshots are so out of order) near the Lake of Rage. Just more tree growing.

Completed landscape. I couldn't be bothered to take more progress screenshots as they were mostly going to be of the same thing.

Part 22: Safari Zone

Part 22

Part 22 is the Safari Zone. Exclusive to the Gen IV games it is set in far west Johto. It is place in the games where you can catch 'rare and exclusive' Pokemon.

The Safari Zone in the DS games can have up to six different areas at any one time. But because this isn't the DS game all 12 zones are here.

First up is the Savannah. Open spaces with small patches of grass shaded by acacia trees.

Next to the Savannah is the 'Peak' area. It is a rocky peak made from red sandstone with granite pathways.

And next to that is the Mountain area. Dense trees hide the grassy patches that are set within.

And there is the first three.

Next is the 'Plains' area. It is quite plain hahahaha with ample grassy patches and oak trees here and there.

Next to that is the Marshland. Similar to a swamp there are pools of stagnant water with damp oak trees surrounding them.

North of that is the desert. Very similar to the Savannah area. Acacia trees have been substituted for oak and there is less grass.

Next door is the Meadow. A wide open space with fresh ponds, flowers and tall grass.

And that is the third row complete. The area at the bottom of the screenshot is the Wasteland. I jost forgot to take a screenshot of it.

Well, that's nine of them done.

The last three we'll go over quickly. On the left is rocky beach, in the centre is the Forest and on the right is the Swampland.

The entrance to the Safari zone. There is a small town at the entrance. When I say town I mean more like a market. In the DS games you just buy stuff you don't need here.

I forgot to mention the Safari Zone was built in a separate world file. I had no idea how big it would get or how to properly place it.

The entrance. Modified slightly to accommodate the interior.
