A forum post by AndymationB

If I could go back and give myself advice, it would be to divide my starting goals by about 10, and then divide them again by about 5. Those are the bite sized things I should have started with to build my skillset. Everything I did early on as part of my larger long-term concept, I've had to redo because I did it all wrong the first time. Too detailed, too inefficient, too hideous, etc.

Large maps are hard to do well. You have to be very efficient with your resource usage. I would suggest starting out by making smaller things that are fun to work on and maybe even a little bit silly while you get used to the tools.

By embracing the idea of working on small throw-away things (just to start), you won't feel the frustration of having to constantly go back and clean up after yourself as you realize everything you were doing was wrong.
