Where do you guys get ideas from? I really wanted to make a D-Day variant but that has been done chances are 1208 times! So is there a way you get inspirtation? Please tell me! TY in advance.
TV, action movies, historical battles, boredom (in school, mostly), real life games, other video games, or just screwing around in forge. A bunch of different things...
I look at other maps, and I try to see what's wrong with them. Also, I try to design a map to change the way a game is played.
I usually just start forging random stuff until I come up with something interesting or cool, then I try to think of how it might fit into an entire map. Of course, this is only when I don't have something pre-planned. I usually go into forging with a concept already in mind. But, as I said, if you don't, just start putting stuff together and trying out new kinds of structures. You'll at least get your creative juices flowing.
