Maybe add a window to the spawn doors??

Brighten up this area?

Floating prop

do some sort of interesting detailing here? like a door going some where?

In general I like the map, just think it need brighten up in a lot of places

Other areas look very barren compared to it, but I like that cp area you've got there.

The spot where your crates are embedded the deepest into the ground is right were the sand transitions into grassy soil. That doesn't make sense. They're supposed to be sunken into the soft sand, right? The ground ought to be pure sand all around that spot.

Map has finally hit b10!
Honestly I think this is ready for RC after the next test (throw it in an imp whenever you guys want) but before I put it in RC, what do you guys want to see change in it? I've received some great feedback so far (thanks Aly and Egan) and some more would be appreciated!

Welp, Sandstone is finally finished after 9 months of development, instead of giving a long and sappy story of how much I learnt about more than just mapping, i'm just going to say thanks to everyone who helped along the way. You all deserve it.

You can trap people underneath these stairs.

There's also some minor sightlines from spawn to point that might be worth looking into.

Rc4 Has been Released, it fixes some issues with the map, including NOBUILD under the stairs added, and this sight-line issue: There are also some small visual fixes, including wood not properly being attached.

Also progress is being made on the pro variant. Including removing 75% of the models, here is a picture of what the lighting is going to look like:
