Hi, so after a very long silence I am super happy to finally return to this project. The past year has been busy with moving to a new city and starting a new job, but I hope to regularly share new creations again (the map & worldbuilding for the next culture are mostly done). I am keeping the video format simple for now to find an easy way back into things but am planning to do another mapmaking tutorial once done with the worldbuilding for the classic age. As always, I am very happy to hear your thoughts and ideas and many thanks for the continued encouragement, it means a lot!
Great to see you back! Your maps are still the most beautiful on the planet! And the lore has an authentic anthropological character; really great work!
As a person who is starting to build a fictional world you are such an inspiration for me, keep going bro and I hope you never give up on this project.
Thanks so much, and no - no plan on dropping the project although I know it's been quiet around it. But I am working on a very substantial update still this year :)
Hey thanks so much for reaching out! Yes, I am planning to finish the historical atlas within the next few months and hope to have a rather big update then :)
Thanks so much, appreciate the message :) The project is still alive and I am working to complete the historical atlas during the next few months - I redid the entire world map from scratch and am revising some things to make the history more coherent, but I will then hopefully be able to share the entire draft :)
Great to see you back! :) Is there a way to see the Dewari writing system? It sounded very intriguing (no worries though if you don't have an actual visual respresentation of it)
Hi thanks :) I have yet to design that though I definitely will (I'm planning for an eventual fusion of Imeri and Dewari scripts in the eastern part of the world so I'll likely create something for that occasion). In any case, you can imagine Dewari characters as an inner glyph representing an experiential state surrounded by another circular glyph representing an entity :)
@@LeoLeonis Sounds logical given the belief in the concept of Hoa and Nila. I also imagine the glyphs being arranged in a circle, maybe on the floor or the walls of the temples (assuming the Dewari temples actually consisted of buildings) or on tapestries, because to me that would appear more fitting than writing them in lines. That way there could be multiple circles of glyphs within one another, emphasizing again the concept of experiences contained within a shape. (just some of my thoughts)
@@crowsheart7829 that's an amazing idea! That way the pattern created by arranging the glyphs would allow for complex (unknown) statements that go far beyond the usual sequential order, fueling the hypotheses of later observers that the Dewari were on search for cosmological truths. Definitely canon now :)
Hey there, I'm not gone, and am nearing a state of completing the historical atlas - I am however redoing the entire world map since it did not really match what I had in mind, so it will take me a bit to do new maps, but my goal is to finish and release the historical atlas this year :)
Hey, yeah they are a bit more involved in the tools they require, but do heavily use all the things in the tutorial I uploaded as well - it's been a bit difficult making time for the project lately, but I hope to make a more advanced tutorial soon :)

Great to see you back, man! Lovely video as ever!
Hey! Welcome back! I missed your top quality videos
Hey are you going to come back to this project? It's one of my favorite worldbuilding projects, I absolutely adore it
Hey thanks so much for reaching out! Yes, I am planning to finish the historical atlas within the next few months and hope to have a rather big update then :)
@@LeoLeonis that sounds really cool. Thanks for replying
I come back to this channel every few months to see if you are back. Hope to see you again soon. your vids are awesome.
Thanks so much, this means a lot! Yeah the project is still alive and I am planning a very substantial update by end of the year :)

@@LeoLeonis Good to know your still doing it, love your work
How do you make those maps? I saw the tutorial you made with free tools, but I'd love to know how you make yours in this style
