Hi
I want to create a city map screen in ren'py. I need a city background. Is there an asset in daz store for tis purpose or is there a royalty free image that i can use? I dont want to use a real photograph. It needs to be a 3DCG or 2DCG.
Also, can you recommend some repny games that implement map system well?

Your best bet would be rendering out overhead/high angle views of the building/locations and then put them all together in Photoshop, then make lighter versions of each one of those buildings to turn them into image buttons/image maps. Might be a little far out of your league, by the sound of it. Why not just put images/renders of each location on the right side of the screen? Likely a bit easier.

Previous similar threads I'm aware of....

https://f95zone.to/threads/help-with-imagemaps.50306/

That third thread has a post I wrote that includes an example map. Though that example is more about how to implement the map in RenPy rather than drawing the map in the first place.

Maybe just google search " ", " " or " ". I've seen people use SimCity or Cities Skylines screenshots. And yes, there are copyright issues there. But this site is full of much larger potential issues than the simple reuse of an in-game screenshot. (From what I can see, a good portion of the HTML games all use captured images from porn movies as just one example).
