Did you ever draw your own video game levels as a kid?

Or as a teen/adult, it's not just kids who do that...

But did you ever do that? I know I did, it's how I got many of my ideas for SMW ROM hacks and what not.

Of course. I was far more obsessed with 3D exploration games, so I made a lot of bird's eye view maps of environments. I detailed where hidden secrets would be and enemy territory. All that good stuff.

Of course, always! Since the first time I saw a Mario game, I've always drawn levels, and even series. They've progressively gotten more complex and interesting. I think I may have done that from like 6 to 10 years old.

I've drawn all kinds of video game related stuff. From the characters, to levels, to scenarios...
I should see if I can find some old drawing and scan them in. ^^

I used to draw my own Zelda dungeons and record them in a Link Club Nintendo notebook. I still have it in a storage unit.

I did draw a level once on paper and replicate it in Lunar Magic (Super Mario World level editor), and while it turned out fine, I prefer making the level in Lunar Magic right away instead of drawing it out first.

I did when I was young and hoped that they were put in for real by the developers.
But nothing really came true.

Loads of times! I even remade levels like Mario 1-1!

I still have my level designs in some kinda box, maybe I'll look for it and create it on Mario Maker.

Drew spikes anywhere and everywhere. Spikes on the floor on the edges on the edges edges, spikes up boss monsters unmentionables.
Tried to make me some hardcore Megaman X levels to the max.
