ingame roleplay, not that shitty forumroleplay
Then I tried to convert Werewulf. (aka Kimberly)
I can definitely call myself a 'mission creator', cause I've done maps on War2, SC1 and Broodwar (even in internet cafe ppl have watched me making a map lol, not that much of a map),Empire Earth, War3, now Sc2. Missions creator because I only do futuristic maps since 2006 and are sort of missions - in war3, and sc2 is now perfect for that.
However, I am a casual maker and prefer not to be called a mapmaker. That means, I do things from time to time, for fun or seriously, not really creating some projects to be played by all with huge teams etc etc.
In fact, whatever maps I do as 'missions' is simply for myself to run my own storyline. It is just for me and I don't make public maps, not to say projects (however, I will release 2 melee maps or rather host on Bnet 2.0). This explains why you dont see maps of me, models, textures (I did have some road tileset but they created better so I deleted mine).
For models, I can do models from scratch since all is directed at futuristic maps, you get the idea. However, considering I'm not an artist/modeler etc I dont do my own textures and ofc dont worry I dont use any user's textures. However, I would for example use game textures for the Buildings that I have to recreate from Empire Earth I simply because I am not like the mapmakers and dont care about such things. It's offline, I dont share them with anyone, so all is good.
I'm specialized in making future/modern Building models and similar units like satellites, devices etc, again that don't require complex animations such as walking creatures, etc. However, it was more to see how much it takes. It takes so much time that I barely make the things that I need myself, not to say do a model request for someone.. So I was in THW to get help and offer help from time to time.
Above all I am a 1v1 Player - in War3 now in SC2. Yes, I have played lots of tournaments in war3, now in sc2. I am not a pro player let say 'starting to get good'. If I were a pro player, what would I be doing at THW? My mates would just laugh at me (hah they would do even if they knew im here)
Mapmaking is great and you do amazing job, I see great work, but it takes so much time, that I see it only as you have to be a kid to use so much time on that, I'm growing and cannot afford so much time on mapmaking, that's why mine is casual.
If I had to choose only 1 and release the other, I would definitely choose to be the player, not the mapmaker.
