N.A.N.Y. 2024 / NANY 2024 - Tools for New York City Detective Mystery Boardgame
« on: June 07, 2023, 11:22 PM »
I have embarked on a daunting project of creating a mystery tabletop game (similar to Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective), which is set in New York City in the 1930s.
It's a giant project that is likely to fail, but I'm going to make a go of it.
A big chunk of what I have to do is prepare game maps for the city, and a fascimile directory.
I've spent the last few weeks coding tools to help me manage real public domain New York City GIS/geospatial data.
So I think this year my NANY may be (Python) tools for working with this GIS data for generating game-related maps and data.
Some screenshot samples:
