Cp_sandstone, as some of you may be aware of from the chat and wip in wip thread.

This map started off as a concept test map (test_blah fyi), throwing some ideas, textures, and models together. weeks later you get this. planning map more detailed than some beta maps :-|

Lets just say i got carried away...:laugh:


its a 3 cp A/D map, with other plans in mind when i get the first alpha out.

Quite well detailed for alpha :)

But it is cool, I also do that

I like the layout already and how the scenery fits well together. It feels like a sandy sort of map and you have used the textures well. It feels... comfortable.

Weel done so far, want see see it finished!

Yeah, i forgot to mention that. the wavey sand is indeed void's along with a bunch of his other textures and overlays. i've used some content from other people but i apologize for not remembering your names.

its hard to compete with a lobster-dog...

As far as looks go, I think the map looks much better in shade with warm lighting, maybe contrasted with some light sun, but nothing as bright as the blue spawn.

As far as gameplay goes, it looks a little large in terms of sightlines, and in the third screenshot, the metal path looks a little over powered.

only playtesting will confirm or deny those suggestions (which i'm partially inclined to agree with).

recent work including model hand bridge.

some inspiration came from badwater basin, hydro, and dustbowl. I am not going to bother fixing lighting anymore, or any significant detailing because i really need to get a playable version out.

definitely see the resemblance to dustbowl and badwater. the layout looks like just a straight line and rather repetitive.

You say that as if its a bad thing... :p

I also now have an idea for that big straight building. Yup, more funky geometry.

new wall, still needs something above it (pipes, fences?) to help hide the fact that there's a skybox wall above the building, and the cp on the tower is above the building's roof. also ignore the broken skybox fog.

I don't like those sewer entrances; I think that you should remove the middle ones and replace them with the same ones that you have outside, but make some custom bars. As for the side ones, move the floor inside so the entire circular frame fits.

yeah, i'll get to those sewer entrances sometimes soon. for now, i remade one of the bridges with more variation and wear, while also playing around with the ground and cliff's ssbump maps, although i'm certain the cliff's are too detailed and, in the current map's state, draw too much attention away from the rest of the areas.

Ignore the bad texture, model uses the same texture as the new bridge but I haven't updated the model yet.
