Author Topic: Our Own Little Metro: A Collaborative Metro Map  (Read 1368 times)

I kind of thought about this in class, and realized it'd be a fun little collaborative project for the forums to do (if you lot don't manage to forget it up). So let's create our own metro system, shall we?

You can name the stations whatever you'd like as long as it's not incredibly offensive (i.e. something about how you don't like black people or Jews) or nonsensical (i.e. Pizza stuff Online and then a bunch of cyrillic characters because you think it's hilarious).

Add as many lines as you want. Our first station is Octree. Try to use Cambria for the station names. I'll update the OP with the new map as often as possible.

Please don't rooster this up.


?

You can put a Metro 2033 station on there if you want. Doesn't matter to me.

Nah. Just a map.





Modified the map a little; made it closer to the London tube map, as in 90 and 45 degree lines, interchange stations are circles and normal ones are tab-things (this means somebody has to connect Rockville to some other line), added a few templates for anyone to use.
Normal station tab thingies are 8x6 pixels.



As for the circles, what did you use to make them, specifically the interchange ones? They're not exactly the easiest things to copy and paste. Thank you, by the way.


Also added the other 45-degree double-line interchange.

I used the Ellipse Shape Tool or whatever, with brush thickness 3, normal line style, antialiasing and draw/fill mode: "Draw Filled Shape With Outline" on Paint.net.
Those double-line interchanges were just kind-of spontaneously made by merging two circles, doing random things between two layers until they looked good.

Oh, okay.
