I'm making my very own game (Modded CubeEngine with changed textures and maps etc.) and I got bored making maps for it... I got 4 SP maps and 5 DM maps, and now I'm almost ready with my own neighbourhood and even my own house :D But I got bored... Has anyone got good ideas? BTW, my house is very nice ;)

with my house I mean my home I live in, not my dreamhouse... maybe I'll do that again! (Oh yeah, I think I make something like Vice city from GTA :P)

maybe it would help if you told us in how far you have changed cube... any gameplay/engine changes?

as far as ideas go.. sometimes it´s good to just start and get inspired by what is there. Often the engine sorta dictates the map layout.. like "whoops i need solid there somewhere..." ;)

"something like vice city" hmm large open stuff is usally very hard to do with cube imho...

Stefanzz,
Are your maps ready for "beta" play? I love SP maps and would be happy to try yours if your willing.
As far as ideas for maps I use "gameplay" and "places" from other games I've played and enjoyed.
CUBE can look really good in the right mappers hands. Map detail is important, not just boxy rooms filled with monsters. After a battle it's nice to look around and check out the maps "eye candy".
Best of luck, CUBE needs more good SP maps.

Well, with Ideas I didn't mean for the whole game, because that's OK, but I mean maps?

Mitaman? Its just what you say: Cube needs more SP maps. Because I don't play DM on the internet so much...

I'm making a small singleplayer cube game, deadline is Christmas :) For some time I considered making a sourceforge project but eventually decided I want to do this alone. One of the strengths of Cube is maps are easy to make and you get more time to do gameplay & music.

It's a small game with three (so far) game modes. Almost none of the textures, resources and models from the original package are in; the design counts on geometrical forms, color combinations, particles, explosions, stuff like that. File size may go a little over 3MB (depends on music). 15 levels (may contain more optional maps of lower quality with copy-paste design, but I'm not sure yet). If it sounds interesting stay tuned - it's coming soon!
