 '''August 8, 2025''' - I've done it! Mostly. I have my world map loaded in 3D, and able to fly around it. Currently using the 30,000x15,000 pixel map, so it's still very low resolution, but being able to properly visualize what the landscape really looks like, ideas are coming! I haven't done much in the way of writing most of them down yet, I've just been looking around and admiring it. I'm using World Machine (WM) in the World Overview tab, which provides a higher resolution than the exported max of approx 16,000x8000 pixels. I might be able to tile in some of the other maps, for even higher resolution world overview, but it's already pushing my computer to the limits. I tried loading it up in Blender, and finally figured out how to make that work! But the resulting obj file is 21GB...far beyond what my laptop can manage. Within a few days I will try to make a video of a flyover, and take screenshots.

	'''July 13, 2025''' - I've had to change the appearance, the theme of the website, because somehow a red box appeared around the logo and Main Page link, and was unable to find anywhere in the code of actual web files where the unwanted code resided, and then noticed it on another one of my wikis, and one of the other themes. So it seems to have been some update that caused it. So I have changed to the more boring Timeless theme, and hopefully I can figure out where to fix the colors to match the backgrounds of my 3D maps, etc.		'''July 13, 2025''' - I've had to change the appearance, the theme of the website, because somehow a red box appeared around the logo and Main Page link, and was unable to find anywhere in the code of actual web files where the unwanted code resided, and then noticed it on another one of my wikis, and one of the other themes.

	'''June 18, 2025''' - I've uploaded my entire, sorted, inspirational images gallery. The images that I've found various places online that I felt roughly fit places or characters in my world. The separate image gallery is much easier to manage than uploading images one at a time and linking them on each country's page. I was able to do in two days what has taken years because it's so daunting and I didn't want to take the week of constant uploading and coding. I will eventually be adding direct album links to each country's page here, and that will take time, but not as bad, that's just copy/paste on a couple hundred pages... But check the navigation bar to the left for the Inspiration Gallery.		'''June 18, 2025''' - I've uploaded my entire, sorted, inspirational images gallery.

	'''April 16, 2025''' - I had made some progress on rescaling my maps, so that the scale is even between latitude and longitude, then realized I did my math wrong. Fix that, started over, made progress. Then realized that the climate is totally wrong... There are places that are no longer desert that I had written as desert, but now they are forests. This is climate change in a good way for the world but a bad way for the story. And I cannot find the v17 world that has the correct climate, and I'm currently working on v26. Landscape edits were the changes between versions, and level of detail within the program, but I've lost my climate modifications that made the story work the way I envisioned. If I did the editing to the world file, I'd then have to spend another several days exporting and sorting out several layers of 1148 maps...So, I guess I need to change my story... or at least a few chapters within the main story, and changing the descriptions on the country pages. Oh, and the Centaur's story dramatically changes, but that's only notes so far....ugh. I'm still working on this.

		+	'''several dates lost''' - I forgot to update this section with a few of my updates I stated on my Main Page...

	'''September 25, 2024''' - My maps are huge. I did the math. My maps, which cover a 7.5° area, at 3084 pixels, comes out to approximately 1 inch equals 10 km (I know, changing messurement systems...) at the standard print resolution of 72dpi. If actually made into a globe, it would have a diameter of nearly 55 feet! Definitely not something a computer can easily render all at once. It's 11,000+ megapixels! 1 pixel covers a 135m x 135m area. Somehow I have to figure out how to color that.... Also started the export of the skyislands to the same scale, can't forget the skyislands!		'''September 25, 2024''' - My maps are huge. I did the math.

	'''September 22, 2024''' - To Scale!! I've done the math, and am starting to resize my maps so they have a consistent scale along the x and y axis, and from equator to poles. My maps are 7.5° coverage, and so I'm adjusting the width of the maps to match their latitudes. It's a 48x24 grid of the 7.5° maps, so, it's a lot to go through, but I'm making progress. The results will be well worth it. Still doing lots of other work on organizing pages and categories here.		'''September 22, 2024''' - To Scale!!
