Anyone else have this problem? I have ideas (lots) as well as practically the entire next three levels laid out, but I can't muster the want-to to work on them (and I'm not being lazy, either - I love making levels). For now it's pure drudgery.  How does everyone else get over this?  IP: Logged |

Sometimes you just have to take a break. It's called vacation.

Trooseveld. Thats normal. Whenever you finish a few levels you get the feeling your tired. You dont even want to touch the editor nor build 1 single room. Believe me i had this for a month. My problem was lose of inspiration for creating Jungle levels. So i started playing tr3. And it really enjoys me to play the india levels. While playing i take a good look at the enviroment and lightning, texturing. And it gives me idea's. Then i start making my texture set and custom wad. After building 1 room with a tree and lighting it looks great. I advise you to play India levels and Coastel islands level if your making tropical / Jungle level. Take a good look around while playing, feel the energy  listen to te sound of the birds, monkeys of the level track.... lol getting psychological here it works though for me  ------------------

Whew!.....I was afraid it was going to be permanent. I'm still checking here every day (just in case anything spectacular happens), so I'll still be around, just dormant for awhile. IP: Logged |

just remember, take a break now and then, or you'll become an insane person like myself, who's having a nervous breakdown and who's marriage is a sham. (just close your eyes, count to five and it'll all go away...)   ------------------

When it becomes drudgery don`t do it. Leave it well alone. After a couple of weeks you`ll know whether you want to go on or not. I haven`t opened the editor since November and have absolutely no intention of doing so ever again. I`m free of it and don`t want to get into it`s evil clutches ever again.  ------------------

I agree it more fun to play levels than make them, but you need to think of the end result and how all the boring stuff will pay off, I suggest making something that will take months to finish but something that really inspires you (maybe its a place you wish you could go and explore or your fave film, series or dare I say Anime Cartoon that you would like to see turned into a game and make it at your own pace.Remeber you could learn a New TrLe skill like remeshing objects or creating your own playable charicter. TRLE is at a really good point now and I see loads of possibillites for levels with new effects and features. Keep the Faith

Cos it`s all consuming! When I finished my last level I started experimenting more with TR2wad and TRWest and other stuff but it all just complicated the process even more. There came a point where I just thought...."AAAARGH!!!!" And that was it! ------------------
