I remember the revelation of realising that unreal used positive “null-space” instead of negative and being blown away... no more damned lighting leaks and placing giant boxes over everywhere I thought might have been the cause. I think most of my love with editing as a kid was for the Build editor and Duke3D - you could make some impressive levels with a mixture of laying out walls/zones in 2D, and adjusting heights and textures in first-person 3D. Opening the existing levels was also possible and a great way to learn how they had been made. I swear I’ll remember parts of the sector ID tag list until the day I die. It’s kind of a pity that with the increased complication of engines and design that this is a much harder process to get started on. Though perhaps I’m underestimating the wonder even now of loading up a box room and the feeling of I made this...
