We've Reached 1.5 Million...

I knew it was coming soon, if there had been a few more of those weird anomalies where the blog gets thousands of views each day for a week or so, it would have happened last month...if there had been a lull in viewership if probably would have happened next month. But with consistency, it happened today.


We reached 1.5 million views, not long before writing my 2500th post (which is still a couple of posts away). That means on average, we're looking at about 600 views per post. 

The top viewed few posts actually vary a bit from that. 

  1. Map Drawing Tutorial 1 (22.6k views)
  2. Map Drawing Tutorial 4 (13.4k views)
  3. Map Drawing Tutorial 2 (13k views)
  4. Map Drawing Tutorial 3 (12k views)
  5. A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7) (7.3k views) 

This is hardly surprising since I saw a bunch of my map tutorials circulating on Pinterest while I was using it. 

There are 38.5k views of my Map Tutorials page, so I guess people have found that, and have linked across to other pages on the blog from there. 

 



I haven't had much chance to write anything on the blog in recent days, because I've been working on my house...particularly rebuilding my library. Hopefully some new and interesting things about the fortress and tulou shortly.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
