Thank you for the nice words! 😇

Eventually the map will be "solved" and it will play out like a regular map. But the journey to get there can be so much fun. The map is no longer just a choreography of corners to be learned, but a puzzle to be solved and an adventure to be explored.

In a meta where we are so used to mapping narrow corridors, I think this could be a really refreshing trend. Imagine open ended sections that split into different routes, hiding short cuts for the observant eye. There are so many racing games that use similar level design to draw inspiration from. 👇

Surely this can be built in Trackmania, right?

Welcome aboard! 🥳

Eventually your mentality will shift. You can stop playing catch up with other creators, and start expressing your own creative vision that stands on it's own.
You can start by asking yourself:
"What is an experience I have had in my life that I would want to share with others?" 🧠

Instead, draw inspiration from everywhere else. If you are making a Trackmania map, look at other video games, or other forms of media entirely. Study how rollercoasters are designed. Study level design books. Find inspiring images you'd like to emulate. Bring your own flavor to the mix. 👇

Thanks for letting me know!
