flf_eastend is one of the official maps that will be released with FLF 2.0 and I got the opportunity to interview its mapper, Phox
Fellow-Canadian:
Now for eastend, did you develop the map from your imagination? Or did you use photos of real places as a reference?

Phox:
The map was done all from my imagination. I always wanted to create a somehow abandoned industrial district, and I'm happy with the outcome. I went to the local harbor in our city to get some ideas and do pictures for my textures. The layout is all "fictional" though. So basically the only photos I took were for textures :)

Fellow-Canadian:
How long have you been developing this map for?

Phox:
As usual for my maps, it has been in development for a long time now. I usual start with an idea and keep on working on it, but then stop it for some time to work on other projects. Same on eastend, after working for about 2 weeks or so I stopped, and then resumed work after some time... In total about one or two months if i remember correctly...
