Down Under - Blowing up the outback

Mappings a good hobby mate. Challenging work, indoors, garneted you'll go hungry if you try to rely on mapping for TF2 as a job.

Down Under takes the Mercs to Australia, somewhere they surprisingly haven't been all that much. What will they find at the end of this 3 stage payload map? Honestly I don't know cause only the first stage has been made so far. It's a secret to everyone.

The world needs more multi-stage payload maps! Honestly happy to see this, and I can't wait to see where it goes knowing what you can do, and how responsive you are to bug reports/feedback.

That being said...

I know this is pretty early alpha and you're probably already aware of this, but the current version isn't functional and a couple models (including the cart, which I assume isn't in the right spot) aren't packed. Payload cart isn't where I assume it should be so that the Blu team can push it. Some screenshots are below as examples! Good work so far, though! Can't wait to play on this map with a full lobby.

Hey mate, if you want to distinguish this map more from the badlands-esque style of American-set maps, I reckon the best thing you can do is add greenery. The Australian outback has many shrubs and plant life and a lot of old mining towns in Australia will have trees. The Eucalyptus is iconic and basically the only type of tree you will see in Australia so try adding some of those. I'm not sure if someone has made a model for it already but if you can figure out a way to get a eucalyptus-looking tree model into your map, it will instantly make it "feel" like Australia.

Also, all the roofs should look like they're made from corrugated tin. I've found a few reference pics that might help you out.

Essentially if you can find a way to make the nature look Australian within the limitations of TF2 models and texturing then you should have a very Aussie-looking map. All the best and good luck with the map progress. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.
