    [OPEN] Tiftid's Sketchbook (Definitely not a front for my deranged ramblings)

    This post was mostly prompted by the fact that I thought I had lost a bunch of VMFs forever, but as luck would have it, I had uploaded many of them to Discord, which allowed me to redownload them. In order to make sure I don't lose them again, I've decided to share them with the world, since...

    koth_tiftidlava2 _a3e

    A KOTH map with lava. But this is no normal lava - instead of instantly killing you, it deals 20 damage and flings you up and forward. The map's gameplay is somewhat tailored around this mechanic. The map is also pretty labyrinthine and vaguely halloween/hell-themed. Skybox is mpa95 by...

    Past 72hr Jam Entry cp_fragment _a2

    A very rushed A/D map made to catch the very end of the 2022 72hr jam. @Sarexicus helped. Thanks!

    pl_mysteriousvmf _test1

    A single stage of a multi-stage payload map. I think it comes in peace?

    arena_mysteriousvmf2 _test1

    A 3-stage Graveyard-like arena map with only 2 stages. It's fucked up in many ways, but I did rudimentary testing and determined it was playable, so I've given you the gift of getting to play it.

    [GUIDE] Navigating the Secret Dynamics of Single-Stage Payload

    So, you want to make a Payload map. And if you're anything like me when I was making my first maps, you also want to follow the classic "RED and BLU get one set of spawns to attack/defend A and B, then when B is captured they get new spawns to attack/defend C and D" formula. I find this formula...

    ctf_tiftid_mc21 _a2

    Formerly part of a 2-stage map made for Microcontest 21. The CTF stage (which is now its own map) features a circular layout. The layout is very complex. Whenever the flag is stolen from your intel room, your team is force-respawned. Whenever the flag is picked up, the flag carrier is slowed to...

    pl_boatload _b3

    I liked koth_tiftidwater, so I extended the concept into an entire single-stage 4-point payload map. It also features subtle other gimmicks, like BLU getting less time from capturing a control point if they do it too quickly, and BLU not getting their forward spawn to attack C until they...

    koth_tifzy _a3a

    Zythe pitched in to help with this one. This map features "wind" in the form of vents that launch you towards a multi-leveled tower of a control point.

    koth_tiftidlava _a1a

    A KOTH map with lava. But this is no normal lava - instead of instantly killing you, it deals 40 damage, sets you on fire for 3 seconds and flings you up in the air. The map's gameplay is somewhat tailored around this mechanic. You'd better memorise where the health packs are...

    koth_tiftidwater _a2b

    Screenshots current as of A1C A KOTH map that employs underwater routes for uniqueness and complexity. I think KOTH maps in particular need interesting geometry to stand out from the rest of the pack, so I made something that really interests me, which is water gameplay. I intended it to look...

    Multi Stage cp_tiftid_mc21 _a3

    The CTF stage (which is now its own map) features a circular layout. The layout is very complex. Whenever the flag is stolen from your intel room, your team is force-respawned. Whenever the flag is picked up, the flag carrier is slowed to 40% of their original speed for 5 seconds. These factors...

    sd_tiftid_mc20 _a1b

    An unremarkable SD map. Uses the same gamemode logic as sd_nowhere, but keeps the point behind closed doors until it's ready to be captured. I barely put any thought into its gameplay, and I felt bad about that, so I tried to compensate by making it as beautiful as I could. In a 2004 sort of...

    koth_tiftidtown _a2

    For microcontest 19, me and zythe each made one half of a koth map, each unaware of the other's progress. Out of the two of us, I definitely made the less sane half. Please try to enjoy it.

    cp_bruhstbowl _b6

    Now available on the Steam Workshop! The 72hr map I was destined to make. A 2-stage A/D map. Only the second stage was made for the 72hr contest. I intentionally made the first point of the second stage way too close to BLU spawn. Why? I wanted to see if I could make it work. Also, a while ago...

    [GUIDE] How to make a good Attack/Defense map

    Attack/Defense - and, by extension, Payload - have always been my favourite gamemodes in TF2. They probably always will be. I couldn't really explain why, it's kinda like they just nail TF2's gameplay so well. You select one of a few routes to go down in order to attack the enemy team, and you...

    plr_tiftid_mc18 _a1a

    A PLR map in the style of Pipeline stage 3, but with efforts to make it less spawncampy and more focused thanks to doors that only open once the cart passes a certain point. Also features the train finale from Banana Bay.

    cp_icytouch _a1a

    A Gravelpit-type map. The biggest problem with Gravelpit historically is that RED abandons A since it's easier to defend B, since BLU has to take B anyway. And historically there has also been a solution to this - to make it so that BLU can go ahead and take C after either A or B is capped...

    pl_tiftid_mc16 _a1

    If you thought pl_yeswhere was gimmicky and tiresome, you haven't seen nothin' yet, mate! Since the restriction of this microcontest barely restricted me at all, I quickly got bored of it and started thinking about things that really interest me, like "how can I make it so that BLU gets to...

    rd_tiftid_mc15 _a1

    the bsp file is smaller than the nav file this is a horrible omen of underscaling and simplicity anyway
