Well no, I'm not really that old. But I can say that after using Reach's forge as compared to H3's, it could be the best thing I've ever done. I've so far spent about sixteen hours altogether in Forge, making maps, or just random crap I'd thought up the day before. I used to try and make maps in H3, but at the time it felt like homework, or a chore, to try and finish maps-Now, it's actually fun to me! I've been lurking the forums for a while, looking at all the maps and how people use certain items in a certain position to make a certain effect, and I've experimented a fair bit with that on my own. I've come to a conclusion that, as a new Forger, I will be attempting to begin pumping out three-map packs every one or two months. My current one, which has one and a half of the maps done, will be released quite soon. Anyways, I can't wait to get this one out and see what the audience thinks - I've watched FH from the beginning and it's an awesome community that I am impatient to interact with. Now, back to forging...
Great to have you! Good luck with your first map pack - maybe drop by the Testers Guild and grab some feedback before release?
Yep, the tester's guild will test your map for you, and leave feedback. Sounds like you could really benefit from that. Welcome to forgehub, I hope you enjoy your stay.
