I like maps. I've been mapping metroidvania games for over five years now. I uploaded maps for twenty or so games to Steam guides for free, despite them requiring dozens of hours to make. But then tips sites started stealing them and making money off them by covering them in adverts.
I'm not a fan of that, so I don't upload to Steam Guides anymore. Lesson learned.
The guides linked here remain free on GoogleDrive — no paywall or anything — but some guides may have higher quality versions available to buy in my store. (Cost may vary but are PWYW with a minimum price point.)
If you don't want to buy a map, please at least consider a donation to my KO-FI.COM account if you find the maps useful. I greatly appreciate any donations given.
