Need some map advice.

Alright, so I fool around with world editor all the time, i'm actually pretty decent at triggers and terraining, and i've quarter-built a couple maps.

But that's the problem, I have low patience meaning I get bored of making a map pretty fast, and i'm never sure quite where to start so often I just chuck the maps in the trash bin.

So I need some advice on where I should start. TDs are simple but getting old, hero arenas take kinda long and my least favorite part about the editor is the long time it takes to make custom heroes...

What would be a good map for me to start with?

I personally would try to think of some sort of mini-game, and then create it in the World Editor.

The two you listed are generally the easiest maps to start out with.
If you have a good twist/idea/spin on your TD, people will play it.

Hero arenas are generally easier-ish to make.
As well as maybe a hero line war.

I definitely tell you not to make RPG maps because they take very long... :D

But to also give you an idea... try making basic melee maps, with special differences... like let's say another way to win besides total destruction... or custom items/heroes for the basic races...

Or another idea: just make cinematics. They are somewhat easy... and they get a lot of views on the Hiveworkshop.com if you make them nice.

Mini-games are usually the best choice if you want to finish it fast. Look at games like Jungle Race - simple yet insanely addictive.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
