my first real map was maybe just a simple campaign spanning 1 map


the farthest back i can really remember though is when FT came out, and thats when i made PandaBomb, a working copy that fully emulates snes bomberman

Mine was a map based on my school, didn't finish it though

It was back in the old ROC days, I tried to make my own escape map but back then I sucked and it was really crappy and never got released...
#6
My first maps war melee ones ( no custom trigger), and then i opened the orc demoCampaign and i learned the basics.
#7
Mine was a 1v1 AoS-style map. It sucked, so I never submitted it.

My first maps were utter crap, and I don't think I even finished any of them. Basically, it was all short RPGs that I ran out of ideas for half-way through. The real meat began surface when the Frozen Throne came out - I managed a competent RPG with three sections on one small map, but after troubles with the end-scene cinematic I dumped that too :(

My First map was Hell. It was 64x64 in size,and had that dumbass "Melee initialization" trigger,when I didnt want it to be a melee map,I wouldve changed it,but back then I knew absolutley NOTHING about triggers,not even the easy stuff like adding gold to a player,or moving a unit. You had a Blood mage as a hero, and 5 peasents and a castle(Duh.) So when I tested it,It ended automatically,but I continued.I thought it was a masterpiece! and another funny thing,Peons and grunts were your enemies.and a pit lord was what you can say "the boss of the map".I`ll submit it if you want,just so everyone can make fun of me and taunt me all day.what fun?=)

D'oh!

My first map was when TFT was released. I kid you not: I never touched World Edit before then! In it, I made a custom hero and changed its model to a Necromancer and made a spell that did 20000 damage.

I started mapping with Age of Empires and used that editor (a very simple one) till Starcraft was released. Then I made maps for Starcraft and Freespace 2 (always Singleplayer, had no internet connection at that time), so I got much experience with those editors. When Warcraft3 was released I didn't have to much problems with the editor, I learned the more difficult things from "The Spider Queen" and Blizzards maps. My first real "map" was a campaign, 8 maps long, but it never got finished because in my opinion the story sucked. Actually, till now I never uploaded a map here, only tutorial maps for triggering.
