Game map design of "He is coming"

[Dbug]

I just saw the presentation of a rogue like game, and I realized that the way the map was done, with a lot of black spacing between the elements, it would almost work on the Oric as a way to insert attributes to have individually colored elements

I did a little test, what would such a mode look like.
What do you think?

That looks very nice... but I think both rivers and roads should appear connected without the black spacing.

I guess if there’s a player on the map, the attributes in front of each tile would mean movement has to be grid-based.
But if it’s just a map visualization, I think it’ll look fine.

Here are a few more example visuals without the tile attributes.

Definitely better with colors

Obviously the suggestion of connecting the rivers/roads is only for when there's nothing else at this location: Basically if two consecutive river or road elements are visible side by side (ie: Without a player or monster on one of them) then just add a connection so it does look like a road you can follow, but if there's something on it, then it's fine to have black on the left and right of it
