    Well as some of you have noticed i posted that I had needed a forging partner.I no longer need that.I am well trained forger.All i need now is an idea for my next map.I have finished my map that i was working on.It will soon be published to forgehub.

    Now i need an idea for a map.If anyone can post a pic of what i should make please do so.Im going to be like Lightsout and make a map according to picture and memory.
    Give me idea of any sort.I will mention you in my thread that i am going to publish it in.

    Thank you for your time

    you can make a tower and put in a few levels and have parts of it spawn during the game.Like it is building up.

    Note: if you are confused i apologize, i dont know how to post pictures sorry.

    Old, even I've made something like that. The problem is, you can't synchronize spawn points with times, so it's not as fun.

    i was trying to make like some buildings in the air connected by destructible catwalks (pallets) and then like a battle field below with some form of getting back up to where the buildings are, but it really is a bit much for me haha. You can give it a go if you want.

    When you become more experienced, you will realise that skills and knowledge can take you only so far in Forge. Around 70% of a successful map is successful because of the idea. Anybody could interlock a box if they were told how, but working out how, why and where to interlock the box is where the real skill lies.

    Look at other peoples maps, look at buildings and architecture, think in your head for ideas for shapes, and ideas for gametypes and playing styles.

    I usually try and think of interesting shapes that i can work from, i try and keep a style throughout my map, so if i do something, you should find a similar piece of scenery somewhere else.

    Um, why would someone give you an idea for forging? no offense, but if i came up with an idea I would make the map, not ask you to make it for me.

    Maybe some people come up with dozens of ideas a day, but you can't make dozens of solid maps a day...

    I wanted to do this, but never did.

    A giant.. tunnel.

    Humongous tunnel sideways, with a interlocked dome head thing so its like darkish in there.

    Have trucks, forklifts, many things for cover, it would be pretty fun.

    Just another idea i had.
