revised spawn:

is the 2nd resupply cabinet too much? idk what else to put in corner

Don't worry too much about filling up the spawn. Players will only be in there for a few seconds anyway and it doesn't need to be beautifully detailed.

To me, it looks like you could cut off a big chunk of your spawn by moving your spawn points forward a little bit.

Just some drawings for a map I'm going to maybe make. I tried to make a post in the map workshop but it kept going to a blank page when I tried to preview or publish it.

I know, I'm really gifted at drawing.

I would also try to think of areas not just as visually striking points, but also from the gameplay perspective: as a player, as your best class, what areas seem important in the gametype, what areas do you look out for, what areas do you have the most fun playing repeatedly over and over - try putting these in your map somehow. Cause while Nucleus has a great idea of a visually striking aesthetic, personally I can't honestly say I've had any fun playing that map.

Weird lighting and shadows. I'll fix that up later.

Reworked mid of my 72hr map. Aly talked me into changing the theme. I'd have to agree, it look a lot better.

My eyes are already crying from the daytime version ;_;

...Beautiful


Some minor issues that sprung out at me; the water and what looks like clouds attract a fair amount of attention, as they --especially the waterfall-- seem to be lit up by some light source that only affects them; the candles could use a bit more intensity to improve the scene; a light at the top and bottom of the lantern should help with soft light in the scene.

my :2cents:

Still so much that needs to be done...

 

[Sergis]

Some tweeks left on the lighting and such (Maybe a bit bright?). Then some scripting for GladOS dialogue and we'll be good to go.

Some screenshots of my MvM map in progress. No trees and details yet and the lighting as well as the skybox are not as they should be neither. Plus I also plan to add a 3D skybox, but this is just to already give an idea of the setting:

Bot spawn area:

Second area:

Area near the hatch:

Far from being totally done, but I'd like to have a raw version ready so that we can at least start making the missions.

It seems very open and empty - there aren't really a lot of buildings or interesting features. Look at some of the official MvM maps, they all have lots of height variation and things to block lines of sight.
I also can't really tell yet but it seems very overscaled?

 

[Another Bad Pun]

Since portal mapping is a thing now:

 

[Prestige]

does that last screenshot's thing become a boss monster that you fight? its got a face and everything. reminds me of the thing from wild wild west.

Yes. Like I said in my post, this is just a raw layout. The only props so far, are some of the rocks and I plan to break up the long, empty areas with buildings, smallish towers, broken walls, rocks, pillars or props or whatever.
I should have used dev textures to clearly indicate that it's far from being finished, but I hate dev textures. I'm unable to make a map and have a good feeling about what it will look like if I use only dev textures at the beginning.
