Notes from building EO-Map, a free interactive map of New Eden. Feature announcements, what the sovereignty and market data can and cannot tell you, and the occasional story about making 8,089 systems render at a sensible frame rate.
I spent $300 on AI subscriptions to build EO-Map in a month. Then one real feature repriced at 44 cents. What a month of AI coding costs taught me.
Twitch streamer Erst used EO-Map during a skyhook raid. I shipped WASD, Quick Route, region names and wormhole routing while he was still live.
EO-Map's new Creator Mode lets video makers and streamers art-direct the New Eden map. Presets, colour, region highlights, titles and quiet, repeatable shots.
EO-Map draws 8,089 EVE Online systems as one three.js Points cloud. Why not InstancedMesh, what the six layers cost, and how a star gets picked.
EO-Map is a free 3D map of New Eden with routing, live kills and 19 years of sovereignty history. Where it came from, what it draws on, and what has shipped so far.
