Why is there pigeon crap on the inside of that building? Dive bombing pigeons these days I swear.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Didn't see that texture seba, thanks...

and there are pigeons in the rafters above that point.

 

[Vincent]

I see.

I did this really rough draft of the first stage of a payload I want to do. Excuse the crudity, it's a hell of a lot easier to draw out a map in paint than photoshop for me.

Been studying up on how swamps look a tiny bit, went over the maps that came with the swamp pack, then looked at how multi staged payloads are done. I think this may work, I got a lot of determination to get this to work anyway.

What I have done so far. This was all today in about 2 hours - 3 hours of work.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

You need to take into account elevation as well. Height variations make or break a map.

O:

BACON FLAVORED SNACKS? Where can I get some of these.

And @ Sgt Frag, nearly all of my reference images look like that. All I'm doing is creating a stylization that's going to work as gameplay items and look interesting and similar without being so busy that they become distracting.

You can get Frazzles in any shop/supermarket in the UK pretty much. They're great in a sandvich!

I like the rocks. Don't need to be super realistic, it is TF2 after all.

 

[Rexy]

But I'm in the US. I need to get some Frazzles and I can't seem to find a reliable vendor for them online. I have to try these at least once before I die.

 

[Corvatile]

The first time I tried them I was violently sick for 3 hours.

 

[Bermuda Cake]

bwahahaha!
You can buy MASSIVE packs of them in sainsburys <3 Britain

 

[LeSwordfish]

Eat some poor-quality bacon cold, and imagine it with the texture of wet cotton wool mixed with sand. You ain't missing much.

 

[Turbo Lover]

What kind of Frazzles do you eat?

I see.

I'll put it down to the fact it's a rough draft, but in RED spawn there's only one exit. Also the distance between where BLU spawn and actually get to the cart baffles me somewhat.

In most A/D maps RED only has one exit (Keep in mind this is multistaged), I'll see how it plays in playtesting I suppose. After staring at my design and trying a rough blocking in hammer the location of BLUs spawn started to baffle me a little too, I've drastically changed where the BLU spawn is among a few other things. I got stage 2 planned out a little as well.

 

[Rexy]

But you don't understand, I have a strange fetish for strange and interesting snack foods. I gotta get my hands on frazzles. I MUST.

Also,

The ground sort of looks like a skin disease. I like.

 

[Rexy]

Is this a skin disease you could get from eating too many frazzles? Because that's a skin disease I would like to try.

 

[Seba]

Something about those rocks bothers me; it might be the aliased edges. The ground is flawless though, I love it.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Looks like normal ground to me...

dammit, this for one odd reason or another wants me to actually work on a map for the Contest, but i'm too busy this week D:

[Loc_n_lol]

Actually that would be the poster after me.

I was going for the little number on the top right of your post.
