Hello, TF2Maps.net Community.
I’m really lost when it comes to this planning malarkey. Currently all I’ve mapped was nature maps with no kind of point, they just looked pretty (to me anyway). My approach to them was I’d have a flash of inspiration for a small piece of it, make that and detail it then weeks later I’d repeat the process and find a way to combine them together.
TF2 brings along the problem of the map must be planned or will ultimately fail as a playable map. I don’t know the places for inspiration. I don’t have a good imagination for it nor know/understand any techniques. I want to be able to have a project planned out before even touching hammer if possible. Can any of you please shine some light on this subject for me?
tl;dr
I can’t plan maps for c**p. Can anyone help me, give any tips on planning?
This is my first real post on here. I am sorry if it's in the wrong location.
