Question by $$anonymous$$ · Nov 23, 2018 at 01:43 PM · mapterraindataterrain generation

I'm looking for recommendations on Google Mapping tool from the Asset Store before I spend my money.

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for a Mapping Asset from the Asset Store that will allow me to do the following for my Video Game. I am not sure that this is even possible so I want to ask before I spend my money in the Asset Store.

I want my game to create a 4mi local neighborhood community based off of the current location information given by the user when they first enter their personal information when creating a User Account for my Video Game. I have attempted to start a StoryBoard depicting what I feel the game should do and how it's played but this is by far the most critical piece.

I am looking at mapping assets and terrain assets in the Unity Asset Store and am unsure what to buy to assist me in accomplishing this critical capability for my video game. Here is my vision on what I would like to do.

When a user first creates their User Account for the Game confirmed by their email address, I need to create their local community neighborhood based off of the current location.

What I envision is some type of mapping interaction that will take this location information and depict all of the Urban or Rural buildings, houses, streets and other players within the game that they see in their local community.

The terrain should be representative of the local block they live on and the specific identified resources that they have the ability to interact with in the game.

As the user traverses the local community whether rural or urban I want them to be able to easily identify other players in the game and be able to interact with them as well.

I would also like any businesses that partner with the game to be identified for potential interaction in the game for e-commerce transactions like product sales, services discounts etc.

I am not sure that this is even possible but before I spend money I would like to know if its even doable and what approach one may take in attempting to create this level of interaction within the game itself. I have been looking in the Unity Asset Store for Mapping and Terrain Assets that could be used to create such an interface. Google Maps SDK is what I am keying on right now with an appropriate terrain asset if needed.

I am hoping that someone has some experience with this type of interactive gaming approach. The closest thing that I am aware of that somewhat emulates what I am trying to do would be Poke Mon where you are represented with a game Avatar that moves around searching for identifiable items to pick up and accumulate game tokens as you go. I am not attempting to create another Poke Mon but use somewhat this approach at traversing ones local neighborhood determined by your ZipCode and GPS Location.

I really appreciate any feedback or assistance in figuring out the best approach to take in creating this type of User Interface for my Game.

Thanks so much for your time and talents in advance. Woody Ufreewoody@gmail.com
