Help with strategy game map

I started working on a game (idk if it ever releases) but I went into a problem - I don't know how to create strategy game map. I downloaded Blue Marble Next Generation from Nasa but after zooming in it was really blurry. I asked chat gpt about this, it was in fact really helpful, he told me about .noscript files and natural earth data maps. It worked until I was on a stage with borders and laker/rivers where they didn't show in unity, AI didn't really know the answer to this and neither there's a good youtube video that shows it. Right now I don't have any idea what to basically do, I just need to make blank world map with political borders.

If anyone could help me with my problem I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Some guy told me Unreal would've been a better engine than Unity for what I was doing

Working on my first game, a 2D retro text-based adventure. Can I have some feedback on the UI?

I'm working on a text-based adventure game set within a simulation. The story is framed around a mysterious signal first detected in the 60s, which is now being explored interactively through a simulated environment.

This screen shows a conversation with an NPC. The text and character are placeholders. I'm mainly looking for thoughts on the UI, especially legibility, layout, and whether the tone/style feels coherent (there is no so much noise on the real game, but the compression seems to exaggerate it). The images are ASCII art generated from images.

I am a software developer and not very artistic, hence why the use of ASCII art, which is something that I can generate. I have never created a game before, so I am still trying to learn how to express my ideas through a UI.

This is a prototype of how the map mechanic will look like (not that map, which is based on a real map, but the idea of using also ASCII art for it where you can zoom in and out)

How to safely scrap my repo

I created a repo for my project and started working on it and making commits before setting up a gitignore. I was in an environment with no internet, so I was a ways into the project when I attempted my first push.

The push failed because there are files that are too large. Mostly library files and other files that shouldn't be there because of the gitignore, but I think since they were committed before I set up the gitignore, they're grandfathered in. I've tried methods I've found online to remove them, but they keep coming back.

Should I just scrap this repo and branch and start a new one? If so, how do I do that and how do I do it without deleting anything from my project?

Or can I just delete the files manually and then commit the changes. Then let unity rebuild the files?
