Originality?

[[yournamehere]]

Can't help but notice rp maps are cities with cliffs, city #s, or ghettos, Build maps are remakes of construct 9/10 times, and Spacebuild maps are populated with one or two good planets and a bunch of desolate and uninviting hunks of rock.

Where's the new and exciting shit?

We don't like to release the original stuff :ms:

Weird how that works, all the good stuff sits and rots, while 5 second full bright maps are released every 20 seconds.

:v:

I know what you mean.

I'm still making my very original map.

[selby3962]

Shit maps are easy to make and quick to release. Original decent maps take time, a lot of it.

[Boozy&Bitter]

Spacew00t, where are thou and your resource mining maps.

I'd like to see more pioneers and less douchebags. I made myself a fullbright build map to enjoy but I didn't post it all over the Internet just because I actually sat through an HDR compile...

Its easy to pump out crap. People create crap all the time either out of ignorance or out of
sheer laziness. This entire country (America) breeds lazy people who feel no real urge to
achieve because in my opinion we have everything handed to us. If you get layed off you can
get unemployment and sit on your butt for months watching american idol and reruns of
scrubs. Our school systems teach test taking and memorization skills instead of
understanding and wisdom. We are bred to become drones who perform tasks assigned to
us and never think on our own.

So there are very few real good maps out there in this sea of crap. Making a good map
means hard work, eff that yo, imma gonna listen to the new black eye peas song while
fondling myself to internet pornography.

Unfortunately, those users are either to stupid or ignorant to realize that the map they made, was already done several times.

[~ZOMG]

It genuinely angers me when people that know absolutely jackshit about mapping release maps that are complete rip offs of construct and flatgrass. They never understand why we don't like them.

Making maps is easy, making them good is hard. GModders consist of smart people that enjoy working for something if they know it will do well because it will bring fun to others and complete fucktards that have no idea what "work" is.

The ratio is about 10,000:1

[Chrisknyfe]

yeah, it's too bad the really original maps get ignored >:/ It's really discouraging me from making anything new. It would be cool if Facepunch had the "sage" feature from the board-that-shall-not-be-named, then people can complain about the crappy flatgrass maps without bumping their crappy flatgrass threads.

[b]EDIT:[/b] That said, there are still some pretty awesome things going on in these boards, like the City 8 maps, the white temple (though he wasn't really finished texturing,) some of the content for the Vertical mapping contest, etc...

Most of those city # maps I find are wasted talent, skill but no originality.

Like to note that I downloaded gm_bounceyball_playground (might not be exact name) and absolutely love it, original, creative, and the minor glitches with the map I actually don't care about (for once).

As for the rant on america, I'm from america and I like to think of myself as creative, I just can't find the time and inspiration to finish my map. So I want to dissagree, but can't.

Hostel's Stalker Roleplay map is based off of the game stalker, and while not entirely original in the sense that he made the design(Since it is based off a game) it differs from your standard city/ghetto RP map.

I need to finish and release something. Seriously, I'm terrible at finishing projects. Fucking. Terrible.

Actually, I have released something, I just lie and pretend I haven't, they sucked.
In case you're interested, it was these two:

[Magman77]

I always make maps for myself with neat logic based contraptions and puzzles, but I dare not release them. :colbert:

Have you ever played on the "SlackersGaming" stranded server? That was the server I made it for.
Quite surprised you played it though, I didn't think anybody had really used it.

I'm a fan of the slackersgaming darkrp server.
