DaRkDeSeRtEr: How old are you?
Neal64: 20
Neal64: 3-16-84
DaRkDeSeRtEr: What ever made u get interseted in map making?
Neal64: I've always considered myself creative and liked designing things, like when i was little i drew houses on graph paper for hours and stuff. Mostly just because i played war2 and made like 30 melee maps for that so figured i would just make SC maps too
DaRkDeSeRtEr: What is your proudest map u ever made?
Neal64: I always liked my 3rd map Break out, cause i liked the story and all. House of the haunted is cool cause its kinda a new thing. But recently I like my bound Time Up Bound, mainly because i feel it is differant and i love the trigger system
DaRkDeSeRtEr: Whats your real name?
Neal64: <--- no 64
DaRkDeSeRtEr: How did you ever find staredit.net?
Neal64: A link from Blizzforums
DaRkDeSeRtEr: do you think you will make any more maps?
Neal64: i hope
Neal64: lol
DaRkDeSeRtEr: hehe
Neal64: the map that im kinda trying to make now is a large project and all
DaRkDeSeRtEr: do you have any help on it with other people?
Neal64: sometimes not often though, mostly just opinions and testing
Neal64: I can't really get trigger help from anyone because im better at it than most everyone else or at least equal
DaRkDeSeRtEr: lol
Neal64: Basicly my goal is to make a map that will be differant every time you play it. With tons of random events and cause and effect story line. Twisted with a horror genra
DaRkDeSeRtEr: Do you think this will be a sucsessful hit like all your other maps?
Neal64: If you consider all my other maps a successfull hit sure lol.
Neal64: I've had few hits in my opinion
Neal64: and actually now that i think about it NO it won't be
DaRkDeSeRtEr: why would you say that lol
Neal64: infact if it ends up the way i want it to be it will be less of a "public hit" than house of the haunted.
DaRkDeSeRtEr: why would you want it less?
Neal64: Mainly because i don't design maps for the public or for popularity
Neal64: people find them selfs dumbing up there maps and making it stupid/crappy inorder to appeal to people who are idiots and refuse to read or think
Neal64: I want the player to have to actually think about what he is doing knowing where to go and all and problem solveing. On top of that i'm not going to try to keep the size down by leaving out the wavs
DaRkDeSeRtEr: im sure all sucsess full mappers think that but most people would probaly kill for the maps you make.
Neal64: everytime i tried to make a map with the intent on becoming popular it didn't
DaRkDeSeRtEr: have you ever made a single player map?
Neal64: nope
DaRkDeSeRtEr: How come?
Neal64: cause i like to see how people respond to it and i feel multiplayer adds alot to anygame because it makes it more unpredictable and all
Neal64: you can learn how a computer thinks but not how a person thinks
DaRkDeSeRtEr: im sure you get bugged alot by "Fans" but do you have any enemys?
Neal64: I don't get bugged by fans as much as you would think, mostly just people who know who i am saying "hey its bolt_head". Making enemies on battlenet is really stupid and I'm not going to waist my time doing it, if some one dislikes me so be it.
DaRkDeSeRtEr: whats your most favorit part about map making?
Neal64: uhh . . . seeing my ideas come to life i guess
Neal64: its all about design
DaRkDeSeRtEr: so unlike some other mappers you dont map for fame and popularity?
Neal64: I have done it before, but like i said it never works for me.
Neal64: and i had my share of fame and it sucks
DaRkDeSeRtEr: why do you say that?
Neal64: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
Neal64: when your unpopular you want to be noticed when your popular you want people to leave you alone and treat you like your human
Neal64: it really sucks seeing OMG ITS BOLT_HEAD everywhere you go
DaRkDeSeRtEr: im sure all who are reading this right now thinks that your lieing what do you say to them?
Neal64: lol
Neal64: nope i feel that way.
Neal64: like i understand why people map for popularity, but it is a really bad modivator and the outcome is not always desired. Yes i wish i was noticed more often some times now but it gets to be too much really easly.
DaRkDeSeRtEr: do you have anything to say to ur Fans? or mappers that want to be just like you?
Neal64: ha ha, become a loser and do nothing but map. No well its hard to come up with suggestions on how to help people with maps. First off be creative, creativity for a map does not lie in its title but in how it is played. Secondly always look for a way to make it better, if you can see something in every map that could be better you will beable to see what could be better in your maps alot easyer.
Neal64: Some times i think the best effects and stuff are the ones that people rarely even notice. Its like a movie that way, if the backdrop is really cool people don't think "how was that done, or wow thats cool". They only notice it if it sucks.
DaRkDeSeRtEr: thank you bolt head for your time
DaRkDeSeRtEr: or neal ;-)
Neal64:yeah sure have a good day or whatever lol
