mousejumper updated Lakehouse with a new update entry:

Alpha 2: High Ground (and Low Ground)

MAJOR GOAL: Give height variation to the map.
A POINT:

• Added a rock near the cliffside to change sightlines and force a longer walk for the under-cliff route. Also adjusted the upper part of the cliff so you can jump over the rock.
• Adjusted the wooden beam on the under-cliff route to be smaller.
• Added a route in the under-cliff route that leads to the lakeside area. Not great for most classes, but can provide some surprise.
• Added a raised area near point to block long...

mousejumper updated Lakehouse with a new update entry:

Alpha 2b

• Lowered the main doorway to block sightlines.
• Moved the health and ammo pack from the shutter room to just outside it to force holding players to push forward or retreat to find pickups.
• Added a huge drain pipe and additional metal wall into the open room to...

mousejumper updated Lakehouse with a new update entry:

Alpha 4a

A POINT:

• Turned a weird diagonal ramp to a more clearcut one.
• Modified the pillar outside spawn; thinned it out and added an easy route for RED to hold the pillar temporarily.
• Removed an overhang from the main factory door. This makes pressuring A from inside B much, much easier.
• Expanded the staircase area next to the lake so that you don't have to touch the trigger to stand in the high ground.

B POINT:

• Disabled the force respawn for RED after A is...

Alpha 5b

• Covered a large safe sightline on A with a few walls.

• Retextured a common sentry spot on C to be visible before pushing.
• Clipped off and lowered the jump pad on C. You can no longer walk into...

• Added more of A to the 3d skybox (visible on C.)

MAJOR GOAL: C rework.

• The far flank with the window leaving the factory has been majorly changed. It is now lower than the rest of the area, one door has been blocked off, and a metal fence has been...

Alpha 6a: A love letter to RED engineers

Oh my dearest RED ENGINEER, I've hurt you dearly with this map thus far.
MAJOR GOAL: Give RED engineers a much easier time defending and finding sentry spots.
On B:

• Cut off the hallway flank halfway through, giving an alcove with safe metal nearby. This does two things; eliminates a major threat for the balcony sentry AND gives a new sentry spot nearby. Plus, the route being blocked off allows RED to play more comfortably forward.
• Removed the shutter door in the hallway flank...

mousejumper updated Lakehouse with a new update entry:

Alpha 6b

A CHANGES:

• Removed the boxes near the point and opened up the rock wall next to it. I didn't like the behind-the-point gameplay so I hope this makes it easier for BLU to push RED players out of that area.
• Clipped a sign on A.

B CHANGES:

• Added a wall to the lakeside route to get rid of an ugly sightline.
• Removed one of the jump pads on B point.
• Removed the "hole-in-the-wall" route to B's lakeside route.
