FEEDBACK TIME WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
-hat's clipping through grave stone
-can still see the items on the shelf under the flowers. Perhaps an edit of the shelves with all the junk removed could be useful?
-I can jump on this junk in the cliff and stand on it without dying. Probably not ideal.
-something just looks odd with the vent being behind the locker
-some strange reflections on the rock ground texture out here
-the fog in that back room is extremely aggressive. I guess it's supposed to be cause it's like a freezer but I still feel like it's a bit much
-the forklift goes INSIDE the shelf
-these steroid barrels really don't fit the map theme imo
-FGD5's got some nice forklift models if you want something without the yeti park logo on it
-idk about using Faith Catholic here. Faith is probably fine but Catholic might be a bit too religious for valve when it comes to TF2. Probably doesn't really matter but some companies get pretty finicky with how specific they get for religions.
-these 2 truck props do not mesh well together. The black one is way smaller than the blue one and the body styles with how they exaggerate things looks off when they are easy to compare in close space like this. I recall FGD5 made a larger version of this truck model for farmageddon which may not be as jarring if that isn't what you are already using
-Can't really say I'm a big fan of the skeleton king popping up at the start of a round. It really seems like bosses like this should be saved for the end, like how the HHH is used. Having him show up this early makes it feel a bit cheap for whoever he kills since he's not a player and doesn't always feel like you had much of a chance to do anything
-I love the overlays being used for the window lighting on the ground but I think the one used for this window should also appear on the dirt instead of only the roof bit
And that's all for now

thanks for the feedback pieman!
The coffins jutting out of the cliff are able to be stood on by design- it's a fun little spots that spies can hide on if they wanna be sneaky, with a bit of a risky jump path back up.
The aggressive white fade in the cold room is definitely jarring, but its actually like that for optimization reasons! when it fades to full white, the whole room is unloaded, saving performance.
I'll definitely fix up a bunch of that prop stuff, especially the steroid barrels. must've been a leftover I totally forgot about. I'll make them pumpkins instead.

B10 marks the state where I consider the map polished enough to be put on the workshop. This won't be the last update, as there's still some work to be done (mainly on the audio side of things), but other than that, the gameplay and aesthetics of the map are pretty much done for now!
I've got a lot of work I'm juggling at the moment, so I'm not running off to celebrate quite yet. However I am very excited to hear feedback about the map. I'm going to be recording gameplay of the map to use on the workshop, which may or not be it's own test session- to be determined. Anyway!
Patch Notes-

This map's concept of Arena has basically fixed the biggest issue I had with the game mode. This might pave way to more spookified Arena maps, like Watchtower and Offblast!

Hello! Arena's one of my favourite gamemodes in TF2 so i'm glad to see it revived like this!
Thankyou!
That said, there's some maps i'm interested in porting into live tf2 from TF2C's arena mode, would there happen to be a prefab with the logic available to easily convert PD into Arena to remove a lot of the annoying features?
Thankyou!
