24th birthday and mapmaking in progress

répi bürfdei chu iuu, répi bürfdei chu iuu~

Hi, it's me, mrValent. I know I haven't been a lot actively lately, mainly through this last semester up until like two or three weeks ago - truth is, I've been through some depression episodes badly later, and honestly I'm struggling with college.

But hey! Now that the semester is over, I can get back to some intensive worldbuilding and writing for the Beyond the Final Frontier series, posting some more lore and trivia here on Hard Sci-Fi. Lately I've been working on the Dominion's Astrography, plotting some real and bright stars we can see all the way up here on Earth, that sure will be a delight for those who enjoy some really neat maps and realistic settings! I'm sure regular readers have already noticed that the Dominion main page has received a few updates.


I gotta admit, initially when I picked the Coalsack Nebula region to situate my small universe, I didn't think it would give me this much work, but WOW I picked a really complicated region to work with! - I will see what do I do about some problematic features if any show up, thankfully, this is fiction and literature, I can allow myself to get away with a few minor tweaks, can't I?

Plus, the other main reason, besides neat maps, behind all this mapmaking work is for me to plot dates and travel times accurately for the storytelling aspect. I had to reposition some canon three star systems because of this, already, fun.

Well, that's the main updates I wanted to give you guys, see you later! Probably around Christmas or new years. Happy holidays.
