OCD Forging

Mah Brothah!!

I'm so OCD about Forge, I've straightened out other people's maps if I like the layout enough. I did that to Lintendo's Great Wall; I started by separating the sword and the Overshield, and I started noticing that the wall wasn't quite straight, and then I ended up completely redoing it from scratch. I even redid the weapon layout, and in my opinion it plays much better. Sad but true... :squirrel_hug:

 

Haha me too, it's pretty frustrating at times but the end product usually benefits from it.

 

I don't have full-on-real OCD, but of course, it bugs everyone who cares.

 

OCD is the only thing that could have kept me working on my castle walls on my castle map variant.

anyway, forge OCD is the only thing keeping all of these mew maps looking good.
Forge OCD...I has it

 

I have OCD. It used to be alot worse when I was younger and I have controlled and tempered it over the years but it still affects me. Things have to be as perfect as I can place them or it frustrates me in that panicked way that some of you may sympathise with.

 

when were working on Duel of the Fates

insane: 'well we can leave it like this for no-'
shock: 'no!'

if its my own map i might feel a little bugged by it but nothing major

 

I'm pretty sure that every good Forger has OCD. "You just gotta get those walls straight people, it bugs the crap outta everyone!" lol.

 

I have OCD when I forge too, im working on a map that's going to be sweet so keep your eyes open for it

 

i too suffer from F-OCD, i think it is really bad too. The other night i put the finishing touches on my very first map. perfect spawn points and all. Then i saved it and sat there for a second. What to do next? FORGE ANOTHER MAP! so i started another forge round on foundry and decided to just try an idea i had for a while, see if the remake of Facility that i wanted to make would fit. Seven hours later i am trying to make two stairways perfectly intersect at a 90" angle inside of a wall. It's rediculous. If i didn't spend half of the time making things perfectly straight, i could have cranked out the whole map, but instead i only got half done. The worse part is, when you are like us and can't stand for things to be a little crooked, you end up spending twice as much time as you need to create a map. But maybe the map layout wasn't that good and you spent all that time making things staight on a boring, drab map.

We try to avoid this by "just throwing items down and getting the basic layout" but it never works out that way.

 

All my walls are straight, I interlock EVERYTHING (walls, double boxes, stairs, etc), and I always have to use EVERY SINGLE SPAWN POINT. Whenever I finish forging a map, I always think "damn, this still isn't good enough" and never end up posting it. That's why I have no maps!

 

that would be me also.

 

Oh yeah. Finally, I was saying something about this, and I'm glad other people have it(Not really, but just so I fit in). If I don't like how something looks, I'll press A and it'll usually look worse than before.

 

i thought i was the only one. when istart on a map i say tomy self ill go back in the end and make everything straight. but there would be walls off by just a milliemeter and i would get fed up and abbandon the project
