Rock Clan ProductionsIn preparation for creating the print-on-demand version of the ANDERS Core Rules book, I used the opportunity to improve the map for the Kingdom of Aroath a little bit.
Do you like the smoother design?
CheshireWe are officially starting a brand new map in Arma 3 tonight, which means new terrain, new tactics, and a lot of "where are we?" moments.
On top of the live ops, I’m also working on my very first custom mission map on the side. I’ll be sharing some of the progress and the "behind the scenes" logic of how I'm setting it up.
Watch the deployment (and the design): https://www.twitch.tv/cheshire_ge

Ricardo Antonio PianaHow do sci-fi games and shows map entire galaxies?
We break down the visual language, scientific realism, and narrative roles of galactic maps across Star Wars, Mass Effect, The Expanse, No Man’s Sky, and more.
And yes—we're building a 3D procedural galaxy map for Wardrome.

Maps of the Galaxy in Sci-Fi Games and TV: Visuals, realism, and narrative roles
Galactic maps are a staple of science fiction, helping audiences and players visualize sprawling universes. From interactive star charts in video games to on-screen maps in TV series, these representations must balance aesthetics, scientific plausibility, and storytelling needs. This article examines how various franchises – including Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass
