I've been fooling around with Hammer for some time but I finally decided to start getting more serious about it. I have an idea for a small, simple arena map that I'm going to be building and then playtesting with friends over the next few weeks, so we'll see how that goes. It'll be a nice first "real" project, from which I can then move into other, more complicated projects. I've been reading up on various level design tutorials, so I think I'll be set for this project aside from the nitty-gritty design part (I'm not very artistic
).
