[L] worldbuilding entry 2: a map
17/08/2025 update: planet has been named!
=====
this is indeed a map
this is a first edition of a map of a planet i will make a name for in like... a few weeks hopefully
you will notice it is just basic continent shapes n islands, that is because i dont have the civilization figured out really??? That's still very rough draft flavoured lol. i mena ive got some but not much
i'll have to come back and uhh label this bugger at some point but that'll be a separate entry.
What I can tell you is a bit about the planet itself.
dis boi has functionally no axial tilt, so no seasons, and due to its... ahem, star situation. startuation even. It's a toasty boy, in a greenhouse period i think is the term? equator is pretty scorched (although i did a bad job showing that oops) and the poles are iceless and have been for millions of years, so most everything's adapted to it, and said scorched equator is populated in spite of its extreme heat. The poles, being ice-free, are like tropical rainforests, and are where I'm gonna place the capital city/ies(?).
also something i couldn't show on the map very well is - the continents are (more like 'were intended to be') spiralling around the planet from pole to pole. so you're going to have to bare with me that the continents aren't literally shaped like a '2' lel.
additionally, there's a second inhabited planet. it had no life but spaceships can easily fix such problems lol. and i'm planning that that planet's continents will be much like this one's, but spiraling the other way around, also pole to pole.
Other than that, I feel that uhh the oceans are a bit barren, but I don't think there's much I can do about that.
I think that's all for this one.
