Explore the Pixel Art Level Selection Map
Prompt
Create a detailed pixel art image showcasing a top-down view of a selection map for a retro game. The landscape should include the following features smoothly transitioning into each other: on the far left, an open plain punctuated by a few bushes and a small lake, then a dense oak forest of varying tree heights in the top half of the screen, and to the right of the forest, monstrous steep mountains without any snowcaps. Embedding these landscapes, there should be points of interests- a slim high-towered castle perched on a mountain slope and a small mining entrance at the base of a mountain. To add connectivity between regions, include small lakes partitioning the areas with bridges and straight, linear paths leading to these bridges and landmarks. The path network should logically connect all regions without creating a maze-like confusion. The image should encapsulate the screen, viewed vertically without any perspective distortions. The colour palette should lean towards warm hues, enhancing the sense of adventure and exploration. The desired output should be in pixel art style.
