I'm making my first single player map and it won't be a masterpiece or anything.
But at the same time, I find it so weird that just because I have read a lot of threads here for so many years that I actually know far more about what I am doing that I expected.
Not just the mapping, but also the game play.
I never thought I'd make a single player map, but I got stranded in the heavy snow last week for 2 days and that was what I did to entertain myself.
I hope to finish it soon, but there might be a delay.
My angle on this isn't "making a map", I'm currently in the process of tearing the map apart and reconstructing it.
I want to see if I can shred it into prefabs and reassemble it quickly. And measure the time.
I may do this a few times to optimize the speed, and who knows ... maybe I'll rinse and repeat for a month and instead of releasing a "map", release an update a heavily upgraded Worldcraft 3.3. Quake Adapter plus an entire single player episode.
Or maybe I won't ...
Still, I'm rather shocked at how non-newbie my mapping is just because I've absorbed so much from reading this board ...

I wouldn't be shocked if I was in your position. There's a lot of good mappers and smart people on here ;)
Good stuff tho...

The map lacks "detail" at the moment so I don't want to post shots, but I assure you it is a very JPL / ijed type of map, haha.
Probably more JPL-like than ijed-like. ;)

So this means we're only going to face 200 hellknights instead of 500!

I love rogue type games, but they always take forever to play (I like to delve deep into a dungeon). Well I have found the answer to my dilemma
... lunchtime quickies! ;)
So wheel out your laptop and give it a whirl, old school gfx included. :)

Aren't all roguelikes playable in 10 minute bursts? Of course death in roguelikes is final, but you can still save your progress.
In Nethack I'm pretty sure you can do a 10 or 15 minute run to Gnometown - if your character survives that, you have a good base for further exploration. Getting one guy there unharmed and finding an aligned temple will take 10 tries or so, enough for a week of lunchtimes.
Next, you can try taking that successful guy to Sokoban. If you survive that as well, you can save him as an ascension candidate - and play that during your next holiday.
I don't see the need for a roguelike that's winnable in 10 minutes myself, simply because you can set yourself equivalent goals in existing roguelikes.

I had a dream that EPICs main offices were in Finland and that I was beer drinking buddies with CliffyB and Tim Sweeney. And I was like, I want to gtfo from my job and work with you guys and they were like, OK dude.
And then I woke up.
