When did you start making maps?
How long was it from the time you bought SC to the time you started making maps?
What events were happening when you started making maps?
Was there a specific map that made you want to open that Staredit?
Are their any map makers that influenced you to start making maps?
For me:
I started making maps just a month or two after I got SC(summer of 2001). I remember I use to play a lot of turret defense games and then I switched over to the lurker defenses.
There was this certain map, some of you may know, it's called Lurker Defense 6 way. That was the map that got me into map making believe it or not.
I opened up the map under the original and outdated Staredit, and looked around. I didn't do much to the map - all I did was:
-Make a word with units(aligned the units to form the word win or lose and then kill it when the game starts)
-Added a banner(Never worked, it banned everyone from the game when I tried it)
-Added a secret where if you bring an overlord to a certain part, it gives you a lot of air killers
I guess I'm a fast learner because I did all that the first time I opened up Staredit. I think I renamed it to "Lurker Defense 6 Way SE. It never got far.(duh)
Boredem was happening during the time I started making maps. Just hung out with friends... stuff like that.
I still remember his name to this day, it was "Ghost[Yoon]" or something like that. I always wondered how he created that cool terrain in Turret Defense(The one with the heros at top left, n the cerebrates at bottom right.
Then, one day, I played Golem Madness Ultra. It was just me vs another person. The other person asked me if I knew something called "Platinum Aspect".
Of course, being just a game and not a mapper, I said NO. He then made me think by saying how does the HIVE stay afloat ontop of the water on Mutalisk Island. He told me to search up "Platinum Aspect" under yahoo. I came to a site called www.creepcolony.com.
I downloaded it, and messed around with it.
Within a few months came my very first map started from scratch by me - Disease Defense
My first map ever made and it went very far. There are like 8 different version of it.
[glow=purple]That's my summer of 2001. What about yours? And if possible, I'd like to read something better than a sentence or two.[/glow]
