And in case you want to help with my research, here's Islands Abridged Provincial Slumbook:https://forms.gle/TADvYSkfoZtuQ7BU7

Touchscreen Controls: Tap spaces or objects to move or select respectively, Tap twice to bring up and/or exit the Menu Screen. 

 Keyboard Controls: Use Directional Buttons to move around, "Z" confirms, and "X" Cancels.

It's a fairly simple idea: what if the entire Philippines was plotted out like the map of a computer adventure game? The following is a Proof-of-Concept, meant to be updated and expanded on in stages and very much meant to evolve with community support. In it's current stage, it allows a fair amount of Guided Exploration Learning for people interested in getting into Philippine Geography. Subdivided into 100km2 tiles, the National Map includes all 300,000 square kilometers of Philippine Territory with markers for the capitals of the 81 provinces, plus a handful of independent cities, popular resort destinations, and natural wonders.

UPDATE 12/30/2021: Cavite, Catanduanes, Tawi-Tawi, and Biliran are out of this version because of some maaaajor overhauls but there's so much extra stuff here that I leave it to everyone to discover which provinces have content now. Two things I will say about Version Dalandan though: exiting out of a map's edge now takes you to the next province (to get to the National Map, click on the Map Pylon) and air travel is totally free for the time being.

I hope you have fun!

When will you update this?

This has quite a big update about two weeks ago but development for this prototype is currently slowed down while I try to get support for the project and while I do the big, all-around research bit.

I can't find the star of Mindanao.
