Not particularly. The server I'm working on embraces Norse mythology and expands on what Ragnarok already has. Using that, it is very easy to take a concept and mold it into something that works with the game. Besides that, I aspire to be an author, so I have backlog of ideas I could use. I hope you are able to sort out your creative problems. ^^: ~Azy Edited July 16, 2013 by AzuraSkyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a more in-depth analysis of what I do. If I don't place objects as I find them, I might forget. So I place them and reorganize later, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Azura Skyy
So, I worked on a few maps some months back and got pretty far before deciding that I would restart them at a later date.
That date is now.
So, what is the first bit you do when you create a map? Do you cover the map with textures?
I usually lay down textures, raise/lower terrain, add main buildings/walls, finer details, gat.
Do you use a different order, if so, what?
Thanks,
~Azy
