Map
The Map is an ongoing project by User:BKERR, User:FlatPepsi, Kazter, and Amazingbroo. Their goal is to get the map accepted into the official Grassy Landscape. There have been two previous notable map projects, one started by Salted_Spaghetti and another by FlatPepsi. The current project has been going on for the longest and has the most team members; the driving force is Bkerr himself, who keeps the others motivated and works on the map himself every once in a while.
The map will contain many large islands in an endless ocean. The first island will be the largest of them all, and is planned to be larger than the entire map of Metalworks Sandbox Demo, whose map is around 10,0002 studs in size.
History of map projects
There have been a few different map projects for Grassy Landscape,
On 03/20/2021, Salted_Spaghetti offered to make a map for Grassy Landscape[1]. TerrodactyI accepted the offer, offering to give credit if the map made it into the game[2]. After a bit of back and forth, Salted_Spaghetti produced a first drawing[3] of what they planned on the map being. TerrodactyI was unhappy with the first drawing, and criticized it for being too small and cramped[4]. At this point, the map of the game was planned to be 2048x2048[5].
Pending the next drawing, on 03/25/2021, FlatPepsi came along and offered to make a map as well[6]. TerrodactyI agreed to this as well[7], declaring "best map wins". At this point, he had a better idea of what he wanted the map to be: a collection of very large (10k x 10k studs) islands, positioned in the middle of an endless ocean. On 03/26/2021, Salted_Spaghetti gave up[8], admitting that they couldn't take time off school to work on the map, passing the buck completely to FlatPepsi.
On 04/05/2021, FlatPepsi invited Salted_Spaghetti back to work on his map[9]. However, by 04/06/2021, Bkerr felt that progress on the map had stalled, so he dramatically called all the other builders to an epic build-off and vowed to create the best map Grassy Landscape had ever seen[10]. They invited Amazingbroo[11] and began work. On 04/07/2021, FlatPepsi offered to merge teams[12], leaving his map behind and joining Bkerr's map making team along with Amazingbroo. Bkerr then added Kazter to the project[13], telling him not to ruin the map[14]. At that point, there was only one ongoing map project.
History of this one
Of all the map projects, Bkerr's is the most notable because of its long life and steady progress. This is partly due to Bkerr's dedication to the project. Bkerr has made many drawings of the map, communicating with TerrodactyI frequently to make sure their goals align.
