Sandstone - A castle in the middle of the desert.

An attack/defend medieval map set in a fortified town somewhere in a desert (maybe middle east? Although the architecture doesn't exactly fit). In this map I mostly focused on the visuals, trying to combine medieval and egypt textures.

There's a lot of clipping I still need to do, so don't be surprised if you get stuck in a corner.

The return!

After 3 years, I have finally recovered this old map and decided to work on it to try to at least bring it to a decently finished state.

I feel like I've improved a lot since I started this map, but I still really like the deserty/medieval theme, which is why I'm really excited to be able to work on this again! Hopefully the map plays well enough as it is because I doubt it would be easy to make drastic layout changes at this stage, especially to the first couple cap points, which is...

No longer mid!

This update has been a long time coming, I just haven't been focusing on TF2 mapping for a while. Although the map was originally created with medieval mode in mind, after seeing some of the feedback last September I thought it would be fun to see if it would actually be better as a non-medieval map or not.

I've also been working on theming, trying to vary the architecture a bit more and adding more out-of-bounds areas to make the map feel more alive. Oh, and the deathpit next to A...​

one single respawn room trigger update

I fixed a misplaced respawnroom trigger for RED's first spawn room. That's all. Good job me.

AlrexX updated Sandstone with a new update entry:

Project put on indefinite hold (at least for now)

Since I've been focusing on Downstream instead of this map, and pretty much every playtest on this map has been a disaster, I'm going to stop working on it for now. I may return to it in a few months, but I honestly doubt it, since the map would probably require a full rework to be functional. I still appreciate this as a great learning experience, and hope to use everything I've learned from this map in my future projects.

Goodbye for now, Sandstone.​
