Q: Hi Vechs, thank you for being with us here today, and to start it off, could you please tell us about what you do and the things you've done so far? Although many people in the community have heard of you, many have yet to find out.
My name is Vechs, and I am the author of the Super Hostile series of Minecraft maps. To date, over one million players have downloaded my work.
Q: When did you begin playing Minecraft?
November 10th, 2011
Q: How big was your first minecraft map? And do you have it still?
Yes, I still have "Davion Keep" saved as a schematic. It was my castle, Davion Keep, and then an elevated rail line over to my bedrock-level mines, and then another rail line to a second castle I made on a mountain called Cloudspire Keep. I think the world got to 800 x 800 in size. I never really explore a long distance away from my "realm".
Q: What inspired you to begin making maps?
I felt that Minecraft wasn't very difficult, and I wanted to make survival maps that gave the player more of a challenge.
Q: Why do you love leather pants so much?
It could be accurate to say that I am a Zistonian.
Q: Do you use any mods?
Nope. Too much of a pain to keep updated. Also mods could pollute the maps I'm working on with modded content. I do not want to send people anything other than vanilla map files.
Q: What are your future plans for map making?
Along with updating or remaking my older maps, I am planning on making in the future an urban map, and a snow/ice/mountain map.
Q: Do you ever give constructive comments to other mappers who ask for your help since you are experienced?
Yep! I get a lot of private messages asking for advice.
Q: What are some tips you can give to the mappers out there?
Try to hide your obvious MCedit brush strokes, if possible. Unless you're making a pyramid or dome, there really shouldn't be any perfect diamond or sphere shapes in your map.
Q: What are some tips you can give to custom map players out there?
Look up, stupid.
Keep a chest with a backup set of gear.
Don't lose your last sapling.
Take a half-stack of wooden planks with you when you explore. That way you can always manufacture any tool or item you need.
Oh yeah, also, I hate you, die in a fire.

Not really, Vechs is a super map builder, and can give me contstructive feedback.
Don't critize people just cause what YOU think.
But asking to judge one person's map isn't something you would ask on an interview that answers general questions. I'm not saying it's a bad question but I could ask something along the lines of: Would you criticize other custom maps if you were asked to provide feedback?
More interviews can be found here.
