In Response To: ATTENTION: I'd like every scenario maker to read. (Todd)

I'd like to thank you for posting this message (I'd also like to thank Johannes for giving me the URL on iChat). Over all my years as a mapmaker, I have never created anything spectacular, new, and actually I haven't really finished very many maps to speak of. I'm currently working on what I plan to be a series, Outlaw. I started working on it back in September of '03, when I got in contact with Goran. and it kinda died off in mid-October. It's been writhing in agony on the ground since then. But I have decided now to revive it, and unlike my other attempts, this time I am determined. Oh, and I'm also a mapmaker on the Aftermath team, but we haven't really reached the mapping stage yet...So, in conclusion, hello to you all, I'm entering the community.

: Ok... I just read the latest Scenario News update.

: I was not impressed, to say the least.

: I'm happy that so many people are actively interested in producing content
: for marathon. A1 is obviously attracting a bunch of newcomers, and the
: noobs filtering in from the halo community is fantastic.

: HOWEVER. Something has become a worrying trend recently. Well, it's always
: been there, but it's seems to be far more prominent these days.

: In that entire huge update, I saw perhaps 2 people actually reporting that
: they had substantial content. I know this forum has essentially become the
: centre of the community, so I hope most scenario makers read this.

: Far too many people were requesting help for every major aspect of their
: scenario production. Forge, Anvil, A1/resedit. At the same time.

: I want to see Scenarios released. It's a sad fact that there simply isn't
: enough talent left in the community to fill these requests. Does anyone
: actually recieve replys for their requests for help these days? I haven't
: in years, and I'd like to believe Apotheosis is one of the more prominent
: Projects on the go right now, the kind someone would be proud to develop
: for.

: I could probably name to the line, the people who are producing content that
: will see the light of day. That's me, Zudo, Richard Dierkes, Simon,
: Johanness, Goran, Ernie, D.M.A and a few of the other regulars around
: here. Not many more.

: That's because we've all taken a pro-active attitude towards our content
: development. We do it ourselves. If we don't know a certain skill, or lack
: talent, we practice and we learn. Advertising your scenario and then
: requesting assistance in every aspect of it's production is not good
: enough. What incentive do we have to help you?

: Look at it this way. It's YOUR scenario. Your idea, your baby - your artwork
: and your creativity. It's much more rewarding if you learn to handle every
: aspect yourself. If you envision something, then try to do it. Learn to do
: it. Don't waste your time. Don't cheapen your own vision by parcelling it
: off to someone else.

: You will feel much more rewarded for your own work. So will the community,
: when it actually gets done because YOU put in the effort.

: I'm sick of the apathy towards this that seems to be setting in around here.
: Transcend. Please. Or stop killing an already dying community.

: Look at the image at the end of this post. It's a chapter screen for
: Apotheosis. Before I started working on my scenario, I didn't even know
: what photoshop was. This is what one can do when they put in the effort,
: and overcome what they don't know. This is what happens when you DON'T cop
: out and try to dodge every little hurdle in your way.

: To those of you out there who take the same outlook as me, I thank you for
: your time and dedication. You make this community great. For everyone
: else, I know you can too.

: Enjoy, contemplate & discuss.

: Thanks for your time.
