Inspiration Created 20 years ago2004-11-01 11:50:17 UTC by monster_urby

I have tried several times to make a map but find myself loosing interest and dropping each one. What do you guys do for inspiration to keep going.

Got the same problem. I never finished a real map :

Taking breaks from a large project is the best thing to regain interest.

I have maps that I've gone weeks without even touching, sometimes I open them up and just "walk around" to try and get back in the mood, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I think the best thing to do is find a project that really excites you, something that you want to be able to play sooner or later.

And take your time, a friend of mine has been working on a map for over a year now, he has had it in a releasable state for at least half that time, but he insists on adding, changing, tweaking and just generally making it a better map.

I suggest you spend no less than 1 hour on each corridor, room, small section of your map, make it so damn good that you can't give up.

Yeah I often find my self in that state. I started making a mappack a few months ago then i just got bored. I am deterined to finish it so I do a little bit each week. I have also started a Cs map whos fate is yet undecided.

Haha, just churn out another fy_sux0r and you'll have it done in no time =)

Ditto - it's partially lack of time now :

This shouldn't be here, though, so if you wish to continue this (repeat) discussion, post it in an appropriate section of the forums.
