Brokkhouse submitted a new resource:

Rotunda - Crimes Against Instances

Hi! I present Rotunda, a King of the Hill map set in an abandoned steam engine workshop. This map is directly based on the mapping technique developed by Kungfusquirrel for koth_roundhouse. It has been made with a very large number of instances and a lot of trial and error.

Currently features Gadget's railway track models along with several train models from the Facepunch Vehicle pack. Detailed asset list will follow as...

Este mapa es muy rotundo, se podría decir que el punto de control esta en una rotonda, y ehm... no se me ocurren más chistes para el nombre del mapa :v

Terribly sorry, but my Spanish is kind of limited. This is about the map name?
It's named after this architectural feature, which is named after the latin word: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotunda_(architecture)
In German it would be Rotunde, in Italian Rotonda.

Yea, it was a joke about the name of the map, tbh it's something that you cant avoid, a word might sound similar to another word in other language that have a completly.

Tbh, i just said it cause the map's name sounded very similar to the word rotonda, which means roundabout in spanish, and of course that has a circular shape.

This will be the last version before we fully commit to the (already mostly done) artpass and go through beta. Mid balance is still not entirely sure, but we've identified three options and will likely pick whichever will play best out of those.

[Demoman please]

Hello!

I played your map for a bit and came across a few issues that would be better to show in a video rather than describe in words.

Proposals​

Place the signs at the same height

Put the top container a little lower so you can't see the gap

Align those containers too (didn't check the BLU spawn though)

 

[Brokkhouse]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback. The Areaportal issue has been fixed, the other things we will look at for the next version. Cheers!
