If I work on something, I work on only that. I don't work consistently, map after map after map, but once I've decided on a map idea I can usually work it out pretty fast. Usually no more than a couple weeks for a map like this - but that's just a function of having lots of practice with the game and not having to test what works and/or how.

I know I could spend a lot more time making higher-quality art for the maps (especially when I model them), but new asset creation is the biggest time sink for me (all the sound design, map planning, ZE work, etc. was done in probably just a couple days), and what I enjoy most is putting a concept in-game - not making the assets. I'll usually only do good-enough models so that I can move on to the next concept. This is obviously not ideal, but it's what I enjoy most.

Oh, that's interesting to know. I can see what you mean about how putting something ingame is the best part, it must be very satisfying to see your own models and assets being there in front of you after a week and a half or so's work on the assets! Thanks for answering :)

Mav, your maps never cease to amaze me. This is an amazing map. How many more maps do you plan to make for this mod?
