Heya, heres a thread for homemade maps!
<>
I made this when playing Subnautica.
I had one station in the middle. Used distance from it and compass bearings to get locations of things.
I went all the way around at the edge as well. Was absolutely taken aback when I got to the “tongue” sticking out SE. Scary.
Same with the “crown pillar” SW! Very very cool.

Have you mutuals made any maps for games? I wanna see!
I have not made any maps but I did just want to say this is so incredible. It’s physical too, right? You did a great job and I love the little icons for the environment.
Its on paper. Yeah!
This is neat. I haven’t drawn up any maps in years, but I’d love to see others. I did go crazy with a journal for Blue Prince.
Ive been playing the original Metroid for the Omega Metroid podcast and @mckliz has been making a map of the game as we go! There are some parts that have been hard to map but she’s been doing an amazing job. Here’s what we got so far. I’ll share the final product when we are done!
I love making maps while playing games and should do it more often. Pen and graph paper usually (I bought a big-ass A3 gridded pad, well worth the £5), but for dungeon crawlers that can get complicated easily, and involve big corrections, I’m a fan of Gridmonger (it’s free).
Most recent map, for Barbuta (in UFO 50):
Ooooo wow! This one. Can we get a full pic?
Sure, it’s still missing a few rooms though!
Love your Subnautica map btw, pretty unusual design! I wouldn’t have thought of mapping a 3D exploration game, but you can’t argue with a result like that.
Looks amazing!
I’ll share one of the maps from mine and Kit’s (my partner) Fighting Fantasy gamebook playing sessions we did through Tabletop Sim some years back. It’s a bit silly, but still one of those things that mean a lot to us and keep a save around for to revisit from time to time. <3
oh wow thats cool! is it in-game??? or in—pc—app whatever?
I was keeping a very small map for Barbuta until it became obvious i’d need more space. This is so cool.
I really should go back to Barbuta (and the rest of UFO50) but found it perhaps too punishing.
I don’t have any supplemental maps, but I do have this map made during a run of A Quiet Year.
From what I remember this was set in an abandoned mall, with some brambly, dark wilderness encroaching.
Oh man very nice! A map of a mall that’s pretty cool!
If i had more (any) artistic skill, it’d be fun to create a more concrete “finished“ map following a game of A Quiet Year but given that the game is all about multiple people drawing and adding to a sheet of paper, all of my games have ended with something as slapdash and imprecise as this.
this is a map i made in MS Paint while playing through the 4th floor of King’s Field 1, where every surface has the same texture and the music sounds like the Seinfeld theme bassist playing at a clown carnival in hell
heyya! not sure if this counts as maps but I recently made 8 maps for the battle of hoth board game:
Perfect! Well done. That dungeon sounds…. Scary. 
This map is exceptional - was this the Japanese version of Kings Field 1?
yeah, king’s field 1 jp. i played it just a few years ago, and i actually liked it a lot. the atmosphere slaps
