We have now completed the roadways and first draft scenery for the map. Please find below a whole.roadmap, which has been generously annotated by
@0118999 showing street names and locales.
You may notice that street names and some locales have been changed. Given that this is virtually a whole new map (there is only one tiny section that lives from BotW 2.9), we felt we may as well start afresh with the names. Of course, Paignton, Totnes and Berry Pomeroy are key features so we have not renamed them. The names you see are fictionalized versions of real life equivalents. Now unfortunately this does mean that text on some repaints may become incorrect, as could some destie mods - for this we apologize - and remind you that if you want to provide new versions in the future, that you should clearly mark them for BotW 2.9 or 3.
Regarding routes - this is still not finalized, however we have a good idea of where we're going with this:
- 35: Totnes Rail Station <-> Paignton Promenade, via: Totnes Bus Station (located on Convent Avenue), Totnes School of Technology and the Arts (TSTA)(Totnes Castle Roundabout), Berry Pomeroy, Thornford Regis, Paignton Royal Hospital, Totnes Road
- X35: Totnes Bus Station <-> Paignton Promenade, via: TSTA, Paignton Royal Hospital (direct), West Beach Junction
- P+R: Paignton Park & Ride <-> Paignton Promenade, via West Beach Junction
- 12: Paignton Promenade <-> Stoneley Harbour
- 323: Totnes Castle <-> Morrisons Supermarket (Totnes), via: Totnes Bus Station and Totnes Rail Station
As mentioned above, as usual this is a free release. We are looking to release it both on Steam and on here. At some point in the future, we will be adding further routes as part of a payware expansion. When this happens, the free version will also be updated and will receive one or two new routes as well. To remind you, we dropped the idea of linking Cotterell with BotW many, many, many months ago as it would be a huge undertaking.
We have also built into the map the facilities for pickup and set down at schools throughout the map, so we may consider scheduling in school services as well. Of course, there are plenty of landmarks in the map, so you can always create your own charter trips if you wish. Totnes Castle, and Berry Pomeroy (Gateway to the moors) are two suggested destinations. The seafront at Paignton has many hotels, and there are caravan parks dotting the route down to Stoneley.
Regarding further development: Although the roads are now in place along with the scenery, we are still very much in the early stages. The scenery is only of first draft quality, there's a much higher standard we want to get from this map, and there are many tasks left to complete - retexturing buildings, pathing everything, bug fixing, signage, custom assets and so on.
