Creating a good custom story

[Adny]

To be honest, i've taken a time to think through all this. I've gotten a little advice from the more experienced users and about the non experience: I've actually scrapped alot of custom stories and now i started on a new one that's good in my opinion so far. There's no story or a name for it yet but why wait hours to come up with that while you can develop the levels so far? I really try hard to be original, i really mean it.

From experience, I can tell you it's a failing strategy to begin mapping a story that hasn't been completely thought through down to the last detail. It is best to get your story first, then (preferably on graph paper) make a general sketch/design of each level.

If you just wing it and try to make it as you go, you will either get bored and quit, or won't be happy with the outcome. It's not a winning situation.
