Don't know why, But i'm feeling very nostalgic today.
I think it's because of HL2 and Hammer4. I feel like a Newbie again
Damn, Has it been 3 years already? Seems like yesterday when i was mapping on my old Comp (233mhz celeron) without RAD because it took so long to compile
The first map.. 2 rooms textured only with AAA and a scientist in the middle. That was it.
Then followed numerous attempts at recreating my school. Both in SP and MP. None of them were any good.
After that i started my first serious attempt at making a Singleplayer map: "Another Day" (yeah i know there are hundreds of maps with that name, it just seemed original at the time). A-D was a horror map with a very thin storyline, You were Gordon Freeman. You've been sleeping on the job and when you woke up, everyone was DEAD
... Really original.
Then i did some small maps to learn what i didn't know about the entities.
After that i did my first real MP map called Deathmatch1. IMO it was a pretty good map, but the r-speeds were too high, you would have to have a really good comp to be able to play the damned thing.
Again i did some small maps such as the infamous "Magoria" series with my friend. Magoria was an arcade map. you would die all the time from stepping on traps and such. the only way to beat it would be to learn where the traps were. it was fun, but i doubt anyone else would agree
Then i started to sketch, i wanted to make a really good map, a map with alot more advanced architecture and layout. so i started with "dream1". it has been under construction for over a year and now it seems it will never be finished..hm.. damn, i wasted a whole year
