    I really want to forge another map but I have a serious case of "forgers block" right now :(

    I kind of want to do some sort of asymmetrical map. I rarely make non symmetrical maps, but I want to step outside my comfort zone. I need some ideas for layouts, or themes.

    Help?

    Inspiration comes from all around you, so don't rush anything.

    I always start with a picture or an atmoshpere I think is cool.

    I want to make a room based map, but cannot for the life of me think of a theme to match. Any ideas?

    How about an ONI underground research lab or something?

    Usually I'll see a building or a street or wonder why I have never seen a spider poop and that will lead me to a scenario is like to play out in halo. I'd then cme up with a theme that fits that scenario then build the map around that. So I guess just look around you if you can't cone up with how a room should look to see what you can find. Not just copying a room you can see but copy different angles and lines in the room to make a different one. I don't know if that helps buts its kinda part of my process. I can't afford to have a forgers block because I run a forging twitch channel so I try to keep my mind open to differ t things around me to keep the content flowing

    There's all kinds of stuff in Zelda that you can copy. Water temple, Light Temple, villages, dungeons.
