Hi there,
Short time lurker and first time poster, sorry if this question is in the wrong forum. I was curious what steps some of you follow when beginning a new map. Do you start with figuring out where you want your map to be set and then brainstorm your layout from there? Or do you just start winging the design before nailing down setting/ art style and so forth? I feel that if i were to start designing beforehand, that there wouldn't be much cohesion between the two and could make for an awkward workflow.
Really digging a lot of the work people post here, keep it up!!
