Forummer of the Month - January, 2007
I started when my sister got me the non expansion for Christmas. However, it was a while before I started designing.
I first designed a couple of singleplayer maps on Age of Empires 1.
I was on google looking on how to make the camera level with the ground. I downloaded Cheezy Monkey's camera pitch template for non expansion.
puzzles, strategy games, RMS...)
Unsure here, I suppose I like all those sorts. I prefer scenarios to random maps though.
Well, you know this already - minigames mostly with some random maps and the occasional large map but that is rare.
Difficult one. I suppose being able to find things tht people didn't and
scripting (that includes making triggers, random maps and editor mods)
Very difficult one. I just design whatever I feel like. I am hoping sometime to make a another large map or a greatly complex random map but we will see.
My tip is to experiment. Try things out and see what you can learn. If you want to find out how to do something, look at how soemone else does it and learn from them. (That how I learnt to do cinematics)
That is likely to be out of the question. It is very unlikely that I will sucessfuly do anything like that but you will never know.
I have no idea!
