My entry for the 72 hour tf2 jam...

Also I used pl_badwater's sky texture and light settings according to the developer wiki:

I downloaded the map and took it for a spin (against bots). Its very good, your layout is interesting and fight spaces are just the right size. I would love to see development on this continue.
