Hey everyone,
So, I was wondering do you guys have any awesome map ideas that you just do not have the time, or skill to make? I noticed that as I am learning mapping myself I always get stuck on a idea that would be good to use, and this is usually the number one thing map developers need to have (other then inspiration to make it). So, if you guys have any good ideas, please put them below I am probably a bunch of others would love to see what your ideas are. And hey, maybe your idea can be the next top downloaded map.
What I like to do for ideas is to get a notebook and start drawing something that pops in your head and just take it from there , really works well
I get many ideas from nature. Take a walk and look around, and see the complexity of simple things.
I'd go for open clean worlds, rather than city maps, as they can look better and be more interesting to play on.
My ideas spark from a colour. The colour generally relates to the mood I am in and the season.
Hey there. I'm a new mapper myself and it would be great if I could have somebody else to work on what I'm doing.
There's a zombie gamemode in development called Zambee Wars 2. I'm helping by making a couple of good maps for. The gamemode is based 1000's of years in the future. And Humans will spawn from Halo ODST like drop pods, and be equipped with crysis like war suits. As well the player's loadout will be very customizable. The zombies will have guns and they too will have alot of customizing abilities.
Here's some development footage.

Alright, I know I'm not giving you "Ideas" as such. But make a sci-fi zombie map with me! I'll be happy to provide you with concept art, textures, models, particle effects, tutorials and other maps to inspire from.
Here's a skybox I made. (Though the sky and the buildings is something I did not make) [URL="http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz181/theryan007/zambeez/zambeezskyboxFINALwithcityJPG_zps630600a0.jpg"]LINK[/URL]
Let me know if your interested. :)
I've been playing around (a project for learning mapping) with building a Starbase for RP. The layout is (very) loosely based on Deep Space nine.
Right now I'm just building out the interior/frame. Eventually I'll add in rooms, lifts, deck to deck elevators etc.
It's all going to be libre content (creative commons, etc) So I've started with the texture pack [url]http://www.philipk.net/[/url] PK01 and PK02
I uploaded the vmf to 54.241.14.63/gmod/temp/sb3.vmf
Make a gta map :v:
I have many ideas from comics
I don't think there are many science fiction maps out there based on Mars.
jungle maps
if you're a good mapper. why not recreating good o'll Soldier Of Fortune subway for starters

A really thick forest map that is really easy to get lost in?
Make a Cyberpunk city map. Only one single Cyberpunk map has ever been made, and it's not really good since it's too small and only uses HL2 textures. Gmod needs more Cyberpunk maps.
If you want an idea of what Cyberpunk cities look like, watch Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, and also take a look at modern-day Hong Kong.
You can probably use some assets from two Source mods called Dystopia and NeoTokyo.

Is there a chance you have a tutorial on that sky? or the general idea?

I didn't make that, a friend of mine did for a gamemode he's developing working on. He's fairly private with what he creates but you can try anyway. He also hates it when I talk about the gamemode to randoms, so... just mention you found this link on his youtube channel.
Anyway here's a link to his steam account. [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/michaeldax/"]BLEH[/URL]

Whoa whoa hold the fucking phone a minute, don't call us "randoms". You're not a super-important person yet we don't call you "randoms". Get over yourself.
Depends on what game. For things like TF2, symmetrical maps and industrial themes are best. Gmod, you want to have a more open space. Other shooters should have a lot of corners and things... the list goes on.

E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy has some great cyberpunk resources. He could possibly make a Roleplay version of New Eden.
an little idea for map : an "petrol platform" in sea/ocean !
should be good for horror/adventure story or even some work story , its just an little idea ^^
you mean an oil rig? or is petrol platform some sort of fill up station in the middle of the pacific?

The Deus Ex games could also be looked at for some inspiration in mapping a cyberpunk city. Don't look at Invisible War though; it was just poorly made.

Randoms is just another word I use for Strangers. Simple as that. And you really think that me saying that one word gives you the impression that I think I'm a super important person? what? Just cause I called Kingkoax a random. Not anyone else. HIM. And since my friend doesn't know him yet he is a 'random'. And If I thought I was such a super important person I wouldn't be helping him find out how to re-create what my friend did in the first place wouldn't I? And Kingkoax wasn't offended at all...
You're making a big deal out of something so insignificant... again.
