What makes you go on?

Hobby, and a very fun one at that.

I do it for the sake of creativity. Some people are good at painting, some are good at making music, some might be good at acting. I feel that neither of these satisfy my needs for creativity, therefore I create stuff for Amnesia.

"You know that you won't get anything with it, nothing. So, it's an hard effort put into something for no apparent reason."

I certainly do not view modmaking in this way. I do not need a pat on the shoulder, a reward or money for expressing my creativity. My reward is the enjoyment of creating something, not the approval of others; therefore point 1-3 appears excessive. Point 4 is something which may be applicable, if it would refer to my experience in modeling (as everthing else is specific to amnesia mapmaking). I however view that as a bonus.

The closest option for something correct would be number 5. Defining it as a hobby is quite a wide term though, as the definition itself come with no apparent motivation.

The sole reason to why I'm uploading what I'm making is because of the community of the forum. It's an awesome community, which deserve added content.

You have to understand that not everyone is like you, what would I be jealous about? Besides, I'm finding interesting in severall ways to know the different reasons why to build free stuff.
