Is anyone getting tired of making wads?

[Foofoo]

Is anyone planning on not making wads anymore? Or when do you think you'll ever 'retire'?

[Nmn]

Not in the near future. Once I'm done with my big project that has been in works for almost a year now, is released then I believe I'll quit the community. Dunno why.

[Sporku]

In the last couple of months, I have mainly been mapping for Doom 3, with a little bit of Doom 2 mapping on the side. That doesn't mean I'm going to completely quit making clasic Doom maps, though.

[Fredrik]

I plan on making many more WADs, though I'm currently taking a break.

[Stealthy Ivan]

Never, I have actually made playing Doom and building wads into a life long hobby, and I hope others will do the same!!!
I have so many very good childhood memories of DooM on the BBS's and just playing through the original game when it was first released! I never want that to end...

[Udderdude]

Yeah, I got bored of it. For now. :P

[kristus]

yes

[Xenophon]

Heh.

What Stealthy said.

[Dutch Doomer]

HELL NO!!!,i still enjoy making wads it took me fraggin years to get the hang of it,no i will not leave the community,im gonna keep making wads for a long time.

DooM rules.

[sargebaldy]

Not really, no. Although I do keep cycling between being very sick of mapping and enjoying it immensely. Thankfully Doom Builder has taken out a lot of the tedium of it.

[Bucket]

I got tired about 20% of the way through making my first map ever. Maybe I'll get more discipline later.

I'll have been doing it for 10 years coming this summer, no end in sight.

[kristus]

I've been doing it since the first editors came. They sucked.

[Fletcher`]

I have periods where i just stop, but I always seem to come back. So, no, not really.

hehe, yeah i used to be like that. Except nowadays i've just seemed to completely stop. I'M FINALLY FREE!

[188DarkRevived]

When you have too much other real life responsibilities that get in your way - that's when you can't feel tired, that's when you can never seem to get enough.
And that's my case.

[Darkhaven]

The day I die is the day I stop DooMing, and that will never change. DooM was my first videogame, and it will be my last.

[Lizardcommando]

I'll probably make a skin pack and then I'll call it quits for doom editing...

I've still got a Wolfenstein 3d mod to finish.

[Darkhaven]

Interesting, I happen to have the Wolf3D source, and...

[Scuba Steve]

I quit about 8 months ago.

[Foofoo]

No Action Doom 2 then, Dan? :(

No. I am actually getting fairly successful by the minute. Dunno how.

[DooMBoy]

No. I have had periods where I've stopped mapping due to my own apathy and/or laziness. But right now I've got four maps (two for Doom, two for Doom2) that need to be finished, and I intend to finish them. After that, I'll continue mapping. I've been mapping four years now, so why would I suddenly quit?

With all your maps you could form a megawad. Why don't you make a megawad? That'd be cool.

Heh, not bloody likely :)
For one, I'm a terribly sloooooow mapper. For two, um...I dunno. I have the time (way too much of it) and the imagination. (I think)
The bad thing is I don't have that many maps that I've made on my computer right now, and only a few people have some of them. We're talking some older maps, like from 2003 or 2002, older maps that wouldn't cut it now. Of course that doesn't mean I couldn't fix them now does it?
However, off in the future, a nice 7 map episode of smallish, short levels would be nice...
