Nuzdot submitted a new resource:

Flowdust - King of the Hill

A standard King of the Hill map.

This is also my first map I've submitted and I would appreciate criticism.
The layout somewhat follows the viaduct formula as I've heard it is an easy formula to follow for new mappers.

Progress Update: Laptop's Boot Drive died

So the boot drive, the ssd which the map's vmf file was saved on, decided to die. Due to this, development on Flowdust will be halted. Flowdust will need to be created from the ground up again if Flowdust's vmf file was deleted (which it probably is ;-; ).

Nuzdot updated Flowdust with a new update entry:

a4

- Lowered mid area by a few hammer units, hopefully this will not give defenders as much as a height advantage and some buildings had to be reworked. This may had open new Sniper sightlines.

• Building to right of mid has a mini dropdown, hopefully this will slowdown flankers who use this route. It does have a bit of a prop jump to get back up.
• Building to left of mid has a small stair case.

- Reworked the top of the tower a bit, made the dropdown a bit wider and players...

Nuzdot updated Flowdust with a new update entry:

a5

- Removed some brushes around mid too make point more open and feel less cramped, added a sign that blocks a sightline to accommodate for this.
- Raised the capture point hologram prop up to rid the problem of the hologram messing with sightlines. Also added brushes beneath and on top of the capture point prop which provides some cover however might have made the capture zone itself feel cramped.
- Reworked the upper building above point a bit.
- Added a upper mid area near point to give...

Nuzdot updated Flowdust with a new update entry:

a6: Bridge No More

- The upper bridge with the drop down has been removed, will need to see how this turns out as it was also a flank route

- Added a flank route in the room that watched over point which now connects to the room that was previously used to reach the upper bridge area
- Made the door that previously housed the upper bridge area wider
- Changed the fence grates to...

Nuzdot updated Flowdust with a new update entry:

a6b

- Moved the med healthpack that was within the "shed" into the room with the large ammo kit, hopefully this will help players find med kits easier

- Removed the health and ammo kit that were near spawn at the window, this was done to weaken flankers (Will look closely at this change, might end up hurting attackers instead of flankers)
