Not really, but you're gonna lose patience for games that don't respect your time.

Perhaps that's a better way of putting. I certainly find myself going back to older games that I know or have finished and just replay them knowing I'm going to have fun. A lot of new games do require a time investment I can't afford anymore.

Boys, i've installed hammer, done a mockup sketch of the map in Illustrator ( I have Illustrator and use it everyday so it felt like a better plan than paint) , started blocking out the map. Man i forgot how much fun it is! Also found a great youtube channel with tips, learned alot of new things!

Make sure you visit the topic with the links to all mapping resources, there were many articles on lighting or broader design theory.

For your digital sketch, are you using any relatable scale from Illustrator? When sketching on paper, despite using squared(?) paper and try to assign a relatable size to the unit, when translating to Hammer sizing always changes noticeably. Not a big deal, just sometimes irritating or making me feel stupid for underestimating/overestimating the size of a certain area

No real scale, using my towns center as an inspiration and i've nailed alot of the sizes except for some bits that feel small in-game haha.

What you mean real scale?
