Hi Andrie
Well the story is that due to some of my life matters, my time to study almost finished and I have one week and one week only to improve my Italian skills.. at the same time som matters are unsolved so I am destracted continuously.. so it is simply as you have said life is hard
My pleasure to give you all my maps
![thank_you :thank_you:](./images/smilies/thank_you.gif)
which I think is clearly noticeable in this thread.
Andrie, in my case I have this thing that, I always knew since two years time how the next map will be looking, to be honest, one map is the worst score, as I sometimes had up to four ideas of maps, but not enough time to make them. After some time I learned to draw some draws, a simple few lines, even less than ten, just to memeorise my idea, as it hapened once or two times that I have forgotten something. I quickly draw those in paint, and those look like a two years old child draws

but it is me who know what is hidden there.
I have several different approaches of creating a map, main patterns, for example, if I have really really general idea, I start to make it, and with time of creating I observe it, and react to what is happening. Sometimes I have this idea, exact idea, of something "extraordinary" and I start to create, with this exact thing to be implied.
I always listen to music when I create, and do many other things, chatting, reading and so on, so it happened not once that my map was affected by what I was listening to, for example some Epic music by Audio Machine, and I create more fierce and twisted map, or I am in a mood of food for thought about something so I spam you with yet another version of NTW. But here I want to add that it is not always so simple to make NTW, as here was an user, who was shoutung here there and everywhere it is piece of cake. And also first, find the idea, of how to interfere its general patternr, twenty timnes
The ideas for maps, its origin, happens to me anytime, before I fell asleep, when I run to work, in a bus, while talkin to beutiful girl

I even remember on an exam, I think as a result of stress I think, I thought, wow that is cool map idea, and then, wooow man, focus focus, first the exam. And I have this thing, that if I get stubborn, or concentrated to do something with a map, I usually whether I am advised nop to do it, I implement it, and I barely change my maps, but I listen to all advices, so I could improve in the future.
The most important thing is, it is fun for me all the time, and it seems I have unlimited ideas
I would be very happy to hear any feed back, what you like, dont like, think is cool, terrible, name, hiden places, difficulty, pattern, anything, so I could improve simply. And it can be even about the first map here, or any in the middle, and anything out of the blue. Anything, so I could hear from you.
I am sorry for the very long post but I am listening to the music and drinking morning coffe
Regards to all players, thanx for your post Andrie.
