The transition from grass to rock here looks strange, it happens to abruptly.

I also wonder a little about the gate to the cemetery.
It looks good, but it looks there is no way to walk up there.

Perhaps it is behind point B and I can't see it, but if it isn't I'd suggest you place the gate elsewhere or make a sealed off path up to the cemetery. It breaks the immersion a little to have a cemetery entrance that people would have to climb a cliff wall to get up to.

to be fair valves maps sometimes have such an abrupt texture change in their displacements as well. make a separate version with blended grass and let the people vote?

otherwise i'm blown away by this map.

No. Every single damn time someone here decides their cliffs need a grass blend it has looked the ugliest fucking thing in their entire map of ugly.

Fuck that.

Really? Cause right now your cliffs are easily the ugliest aspect of this map.

All that grass hanging over the edge of the cliff, it's crazy!

Thiose cliffs are on an ocean front; how can you possibly compare the two!

FINE.

At the very least you should have a very small overlay overhang.

it looks unnatural with a straight line separating them now.

I don't see the issue with the cliffs, and just because you might see vegetation overhang in the real world does not necessarily mean it translates well to the game. I see cliffs with overhanging vegetation all the time, and I also see them flat faced without any, it's pretty common to see it both ways, it all depends on the conditions and the area and the rock and vegetation types.

I really think this should be taken into consideration as a separate winner - cp_artpass_event.

Really, it looks good. But I really think it can work with Valve buying it as an _event alternative, alongside the winner of this contest.

It's just so different.

Not to say other entrants aren't, but this fits an event map so perfectly and really - Halloween is just around the corner.

But... it's _event not _halloween and they already have an event map for halloween, wouldn't they be more likely to have one for another holiday/reason? :/

That's the plan!

I looked at when the deadline was, and how long valve take to purchase a map and figured if I did a good enough job they might just speed up their process.

Because, tbh I can't see the map being added any time before chistmas otherwise. And even then the entire exchange of contracts/payment details will be done on december 23rd. (Yes, they really do leave things to the very last day.

The problem with the cliffs is I had grass at the edge rather than the dirt part of the blend. this is to be fixed.
