Are there more maps to this world?
Tricky question, see this is just one attempt at capturing the essence of Mythica's geography. The first attempt was way back when I was twelve and it has changed greatly since that (the first maps were on a sheet of paper and all along the edge was a giant desert...that's gone now). As I continue to hash out Mythica, the map will probably continue to change. One thing is that this doesn't show any continents or the group of islands that are somewhere off to the east that play a role in my understanding of Mythica. So...lots of work to be done. One idea is to zoom out, but no attempt at giving Mythica continents has turned out satisfactorily, so....

WOAH!!! That's incredible! How does that program work?
CC3 is a vector-based program, meaning it's based on geometric entities rather than mapping bits. The basic way it works is you draw the outline and it feels in the texture. So I drew the outline of the land and it filled it in with the green texture. Likewise for the water. The other main feature is that of pre-made symbols which you can paste into the map. The nice part about these features is that you can scale them before you paste them in, making them as big or small as you like. There's a lot more to the program than that, it's a very versatile software with lots of potential for personal customization and creativity, but this overview gives you an idea of how I did it.
