I have lots of maps unfinished, and when i start building on one, i get new ideas to other ones, but i never finish them. Any tips or ides? How do you do?
Sometimes you have to find those urgent ideas that seemingly need to be applied to a new map and put them into an existing one, sometimes if it seems like it won't fit, go for it anyways, people like new and interesting concepts. Also try to look for a good inspiration, if you have a strong inspiration for building a map you'll never leave it. Hope I helped.....
Odds are you're starting big then your map gets too big to fit in the budget so you give up. Try starting small so there's room to expand. It also helps to build almost the entire map in one sitting so you're forced to actually finish.
I'd say if you have a old map and you don't know how to finish it, ask around on forgehub and see if any1 will help you finish it.
One thing I try to do is isolate my mind into thinking about the map i am working on for instance I was creating a map based around a spooky house idea and the gameplay I wanted for the map was something like blackOPs zombie mode. so I downloaded the blackops zombie soundtrack and listened to music that reminded me of the feel I wanted my map to have. Music can do wonders I assure you.
