Hey I was wondering how you guys went about your minimap. I am going to add one to my game I am working on and was wondering how you did yours.
Did you take the map and then just shrink it to that... or did you just load up an image for that map... or...?

Currently the minimaps are just drawn by hand, by scaling down the map so that one pixel represents a single tile and drawing over the relevant edges.
If you're looking for 3D FOSS games be sure to check out LucKey Productions on itch.io
I guess your maps include information what tiles are walkable and what tiles are not. When you are lazy you could use this information to create minimaps automatically.

Exactly how our minimaps are created is described in detail on the wiki:
