Why did you get into mapping?

Is that possible? I mean you wouldn't make much money for the amount of time you put in.

What do you mean?
What I mean is I got a job in the games industry as a level designer thanks to my portal maps.

I started mapping WAAAAAY back on a cute little game called Duke Nukem 3D.

Apparently, I had this crazy idea to build a massive multi-player map based on the Galaxy Galleria from Space Quest 4, with a few additional references. I overloaded my map before I was even half done, although there were some positive responses on effort.

References included:
Aliens movie
Pet store named "Pet Shop Boys"
"Sexy Suzy" ladies clothing (name taken from Extreme II album cover)

I can think of at least a half dozen people who have done the same, most of which are from here.

for as long as i've been alive, i've always loved to create things. eventually, i got a computer, and started making things using games like roller coaster tycoon and things like that. i found a game called roblox (it was actually good back then...) and i was hearing this "the cake is a lie" thing being spread around, and wondered where it was from. i looked it up, and it was from some cool game called portal. i got the game and played through. then, after the game, i played with commentary mode. one node mentioned that the community could make custom maps... and i bet you can figure out the rest.
