I know its been a really long time since i've posted here or put any finished works up, but there is, of course, a reason.
The holiday seasons (and my sunday Jan 11 birthday included) have taken their toll on me, but im working on getting my focous back into UT2k3.
As for finished maps, putting them up is hard now. I need to find some webspace (geocities has more than made me po'ed...) so that might take a while. I will upload all my maps that are finished to Geocities when i have the time.
Enough about the past, now on to the future.
Mapping for me is going to be rough. My girlfriend and I have decided to do what we've been wanting to do for a while; Starting a band. We're in the process of getting people together, but what all this means is less time for mapping. I'm trying to do all my mapping now, but i need the community's help.
I want to make the best map i have ever made in my entire career. This will, of course take lots and lots of time, help, and advice but I want to get it done. I dont just want one person's ideas and help, but i would like everyone's feedback and advice.
Here are the first two things that need to get fleshed out:
1) What kind of theme? What do people want to see in CHAOS?
2) What kind of map? What is the most popular gameplay style right now? What do people want?
I know this is a long post, but im trying to mnake this a REALLY good map... something people will want to play for a very long time. One person's ideas aren't enough to keep a single map going, but the opinions of an entire community are what make a great map.
Help me or dont help me, its your choice, but the more help i get, the better the turnout will be. My only warning is that I'm stiull a bit of a newbie mapmaker, which is only more reason for people to try and help me (or get realy fed up with me
)So far you guys have been a great help in my previous projects. I've observed a few different conversations and threads that have really helped me out, but this is the big one. My dedication for this map will be the greatest of any map i have ever worked on.
So pelase, as a fellow CHAOS player, i ask for your help.
