Doing maps for clans. Created 18 years ago2006-10-03 17:00:08 UTC by Archie

Damn, i suggest you look out a clan and offer to make a map for them!
I just got offered an extremely reasonable ammount of cash for one..

I just liked the members of the clan, and i fancied going back to CSS, so i offered to make a map and to pretty much directly quote :
"z0mg howe much!"
I jokingly said an extortionate figure and
"kk paypal!"

Ok...

I map for the joy of it as a release from the work I do for money. If you can map and make money, go for it. Just be careful not to burn out on inspiration and ideas. That gets you fired.

MMMONEY.

To quote an excellent game, The Hunter,
"You take stupid people's money, I love it, very capitalist".

The real world is huge, the imaginary world is infinite. There will always be a source for inspiration somewhere.

I plan to map for money in the future. Real buildings, of course.

I'd an admin in a clan. But noones offered me to make one!!??

"You take stupid people's money, I love it, very capitalist".

Be grateful to the existence of stupid people. Without them, there is no smart people.

Intelligence is relative.

Im stealing your quote, satchmo.

Go right ahead. I am flattered.

It's about time

I'm suprised you don't see more advertisements for mapping and such because it really would be an interesting business. Clans get a good map to play on that makes them more popular (mostly if it advertises them) and the mapper gets some "reputation" with people. It is definitally a form of art in my opinion - takes time, skill and effort and the idea of selling all those makes sense

It's kinda a waste of money if you pay someone to make a map for you, you could either make one yourself or download one for free.

I don't really understand, what's so stupid, about offering an ammount of money for a map. After all - making a proper map takes loads of time, effort and various skills, not to mention compile times and testing..

Nice stuff, Hunteh.

how much you got for it? 60 penny?

Pence...IT'S PENCE.

Nice idea Hunter, I demand money from my friends for making their school...

Is not a waste at all... Those who make good maps don't make them overnight, it takes months to learn how to make quality ones. Not to mention that it can take weeks of a persons spare time to make and test them.

If your still not convinced, think about 3D Models. People pay money for them, and it is very similar to mapping. And what about gaming companies? They hire people to make the levels (I don't know the specific job but someone has to make them :P)

The idea of a "freelance mapper" isn't stupid at all IMO.

Gee, I wonder why points at Unbreakable's map submissions.

I've heard of this idea before, I've actually wanted to try it for some time.

Yeah but most people will just want another iceworld from you. Bang, fourty bucks.

I'll tell ya, i was damn tempted to just do that.. I mean, the silly people paid in advance. But they really did seem like nice people, and i did just want some spark to get me mapping again, so i've started on a big de_map.
