Hello Conboy! Long time no see!
Maybe you could concentrate on one scenario that interests you and complete it to build confidence and get feedback. We'll be glad to play it and advise.
Yes, I will definitely come back to making non-campaign scenarios to test out my skills, that'll be a guarantee. The other day I was thinking about finishing one of the campaign's scenarios for you all to see, maybe like a little teaser since I feel like making an entire campaign of like, lets say 7-8 maps that I was planning for- would really burn me out. In the future, I'll possibly release 2 maps from it, and I have those 2 maps thought out -sorta.
The maps are a very good thing to offer.
The reason why I'm giving out maps is so that they can possibly be used in other peoples works and so that those maps don't get abandoned and they'll never see the light of day. I have made so many unfinished maps, mostly due to being unsatisfied with how its going, me just getting bored of it, or it just being really bad in general (most of those were the old days).
I have found that large maps slow down the load time but dont really negatively affect gameplay - that is more related to AI Teams, triggers, and number of AI units.
Although that's true, the "France" map was only planned for showcasing the creativity I gained over the year of map making. Almost like a resume. Showing off
.
In these showcase maps, the purpose for it was to just take it all in, not worrying about FPS since it doesn't really matter; its like a beautiful art gallery, that's what map making's all about.
The way everything flows well with each other.
But you will be happier and folks will have more confidence in your product if you have them ready to use, not at an incomplete level.
Thanks, and bon chance!

Thank you for the words, conboy. I was not expecting a response from anybody.
After all, maps will definitely be released. Not sure when, It'll probably come in as a surprise.
The reason why I was inactive is that I wasn't finding any good Ideas for a scenario, or sometimes even map making, because I already made most of them in my spare time. So I kind of drifted away from this game. In those times where I was gone, I was playing other games, even Townscaper for that matter, hell, that was a lot of fun.
(@kono_city if you're wondering what kind of build's I did in the game, it just brings so much creativity to the table it's great
)
But for now, I'll just be making maps, and the scenarios that I want to work on, but will take more time because I probably have to re-learn most things
