ItsOnlyMilky updated Koth_Topside with a new update entry:

A11- the mainline update!

-Right-hand main staircase to spawn was removed and replaced with inaccessible space; the right-hand lower floors are now entirely there to enable the flank route via the balconies.

ItsOnlyMilky updated Koth_Topside with a new update entry:

The Routine Finale update

This update re-arranges some staircases, arches, and other such entities around the main route to spawn.

An issue with a visible trigger brush blocking RED from using one of their spawn exits has also been fixed.

-Spawn rooms have been completely rebuilt
-> Spawns are now smaller
-> Spawns are now further left than they are right to imply a main route to spawn
-> Spawns are now higher up than before, hopefully making it obvious that the spawning players can take a direct route up or a longer route down.

-Decoration has begun on the city around the buildings atop which we fight
-> The theme is...

Cosmetic;
-Various props added throughout, including faux windows on the side of the building.
-Windows near one-way doors removed
-Window added near staircase to battlements on the left
-Lighting updated to be more...
