How do you work?

[HumiliatioN]

Interesting thread here, I want to share my experience with mapping and whole years spending with HPL2 editor, forums and just making mostly my own mods.

When Amnesia TDD was released I was so excited playing it! So I played, several times from beginning to end, because it was just that awesome.

Months later I downloaded HPL2 editor and start making levels well... It was hard to get the feeling and get maps done with the editor... well next year I got better with scripting part too and mapping aswell.

Now this year I was so much better when I started modding and now I can see almost everything what mod needs to make it really good and enjoyable to play when using "default assets" and custom ones too. Now I'm working my latest project "Investigator" well.. it's on hold on because that missing scripter... Okay that's about everything from my experience.

Now to Q and A:

1: Of course, music inspires me to messing around with the editor and I just deeply feel I can create something good now and making a lot of progress. I just can't edit anything anymore or my motivation is so low if there is no music playing on the background.

2: Well... it's now paused and there are several times and reasons when I stop my mod, just get something else done.

3: Always depends on my "IRL working days", but when I have free-time a lot maybe 2-3 hours max. Sometimes when I was unemployed and no job and just lazy to get anything done, I spent nearly 8 hours a day on my computer just editing maps. Now everything is changed and I'm happy with it.

4: Yeah I have couple mods unreleased and abandoned projects, just because lacking motivation and creativity to finish them.

5: Lacking ideas when making maps sometime and making cool ideas and script them gives me really annoying problems aswell.

6: Yeah, if you count my abandoned projects and I have couple non serious projects, but there just for fun and something different.
