I recently made a thread on a competitive map called Cavalcade. Although the map itself didn't really seem to win the hearts of fellow Forgers, the backstory did. Now not to brag too much but I have predicted and Mock exam results of A's in English, so I thought if anyone was struggling to come up with a description or backstory for their map/s I would love to come up with a few for anyone interested. Here's a link to my map: Cavalcade Thanks
I found that backstories usually get a lot of downloads. I spent a lot of time on some of my maps but almost just as much time on the backstories!
Hm. It was good but kinda short. I really love the one me and AllseeingEntity (mainly him) put together for Hangar 02 V2, its in my sig and look at the backstory.
Yeah, backstories give a lot more flavor to a map. It's fun to play a map and act a certain way, not just play it and think you're playing a different version of a normal map.
If you want to see a real backstory look at these two maps. Both of them are mine, and very old. Still, they had very detailed backstories that were a lot longer than yours. NOTE- I'm not advertising, just showing these newbs (lol jk) what a real story is. Epic Backstory 1 Epic Backstory 2 (slightly creepy)
I think a backstory is less important than the map, but a well thought out paragraph can certainly up the level of fun for people that actually read it.
:O. whoa. in a way thier TOO long, but the second one really worked. The first one wasnt as good, but was good. +rep good sir.
Haha well thanks Insane. Im glad you liked one of them. I agree the second one is better than the first. Took me a while. Lol
That's exactly what I was thinking. Space Station in my Signature has a fun backstory (I think). Check it out.
