How good do you think other forgers are?

@Soldat Du Christ: 4/5
... 5/5 if i had any aesthetical talent whatsoever

 

@A 3 Legged Goat 4.5/5
@Given To Fly 5/7
@343i -7/5

 

Also @Blaze 5/5

 

Also i'm going to rate myself because why not

@A 3 Legged Goat
Great at: Presentation, Art themes, Lighting, Attention to Detail
Needs to work on: Development cycle, Pathfinding, Player Engagements, Gameplay experiences, Breaking out of formula

 

I'm gonna use the map rating system because it's more accurate.

@MultiLockOn
I've come to realize over time that he isn't all talk. This mothafuckah knows his ****. 9.8/10

@Given To Fly
Probably the best (in my opinion) with objects, but given my man, you need to work on your layouts. 9.5/10

@SaltyKoala
Salty is secretly one of the best forgers, but he just doesn't care, and that's my favorite part. 9/10

@A 3 Legged Goat
I definitely think he's capable of making some really cool ****, I just don't think he's done it yet. 8.5/10

@Xandrith
I'm okay. I pride myself on my ability to learn, so I don't feel bad that I'm not the best or even close. 7/10

I could list a lot more but I don't owe you people anything.

 

Xandy you're not a 7 my man, you can give yourself a little more credit than that

 

Where are the metacritic pages?

 

You and me both, been here for years.

 

@Furious D 18 5/5
@Mallet 5/5
@Draw the Line 5/5

 

Why are we rating ourselves here? Seems like a topic for another thread. Maybe title it "Watch me beat my **** against my forehead"

*not 'Stanley Steamer' tho

 

Literally feels like this specific category was made just for me, lmfao

 

No, I think the "breaking out of formula" was more towards you

 

**** these threads and **** the circle jerk
1/5

 

^this comment 11/10

 

not wrong.

Demption uses a lot of z ramps and doorway assets but he otherwise isn't very formulaic in my opinion.

 

Get your likes in before this is taken down

 

Well, **** you to buddy.

Me, great at art themes? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Seriously, I suck at art. Also, I suck at forging cleanly. My piece usage has gotten sooooo shitty and inefficient since Reach. I also pretty much suck at creating my own 100% original designs. I can take a map and figure out what makes it work, or what holds it back, and tweak it into something different... But I lack the creativity to come up with something wholly original. My two 'original' maps; Regret and Raven's Lair, aren't exactly novel designs. Both are very safe, generic, arena maps.

But hey! I'm aware of my shortcomings, so... *shrugs*

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not a good designer. I'm a great asset to helping other designers, but I'm pretty much average at best when it comes to creating my own ****.

 

Twice Foresaken was one of the first good Forerunner maps and I still think it is to this day. There are things I would do differently on it but I've always liked the way it was built.

Art in this game isn't always excessive detail. Most of the time it's simply interesting shapes.
