Mapmaker builds, constantly evolves world over 50 years

This guy has been building and evolving a map for 50 years. Thought it might be inspirational for worldbuilders or anyone else who's having trouble creating settings. He explains different aspects of it throughout the video, so it might be worth a full watch.

This is awesome!

I was pretty skeptical when he started talking about collage, but then The Void... Incursion IV... The Void Defence Wall... Kiss

I want a movie or series set in his map world!

edit:
From his blog:
A new incursion of The Void has occurred in Penfold, a thriving city of some 103,000 people in the parish of The Plains. The incident happened in the center of the city taking with it an estimated 7,400 residents and the second of the city's two railway stations. Leadership of the town has petitioned the Central Government to provide Void Defense walls to protect the remaining Penfoldians. In the meantime a new residential area, New Penfold, has been erected northeast of the existing city and will house people displaced from the central district.
Love it! This guy is great.

Wow, SimCity too!

Shame nobody else gets to experience this world he's created.

At least he's happy doing what he's doing!

sometimes i worry about this about myself, when i look at the SD areas i made early in production and compare them to the areas i made late in its production

anyway yeah this video is pretty cool, hopefully someone turns his map into a book or game one day
