Repurposing an old map.

Mom? Is that you?

 

[FunkEdge]

so I recently went paintballing and it's given me some map ideas.
here's some photos of my inspiration. just one question:
do you guys think it could be used to make a good map?

 

[Muddy]

I could see that working as a CS:GO map actually. TF2, maybe, you might need to take some liberties with the height variation though

I heard they pay loads.

And then we go full circle

So I have been working on my map "Kronos" and I hit a brick wall...

the current build of the track is for a jungle area going into a red base, and I feel that this part is a bit choaky, any suggestions?

Spoiler: The current track with a big red arrow outlining it

It's hard to call something chokey when there isn't any structures or walls there

true but I don't know where to put them... hence the brick wall I have hit...

Howd you hit a brick wall when there arent any there?
Honestly there isnt much to go off of to really help you with that, too much of a blank canvas you know?

Id recommend looking around at some other payload maps, see what they did with similar areas, or just start throwing down blocks and hope it makes something playable

Sketch some ideas and layouts on paper first so you can easily erase and modify them. Look at some inspirational structures or areas you think would work well to play in and be interesting. That's what I do anyway.

been testing some textures for pillars and floors for nothing, not sure if I like it,

 

[red3pit]

Idk why, but ! really like the look of this building.

As far as I can tell from the screenshots that track is all on one level, add some height variation to the track. As for it being chokey, It's hard to tell because you don't have any flanks / alternative routes in place yet.

I spent like 2 days reworking on the bridge shape for my mid. The roof was a bit overscaled as well so that had to be redone, those lanterns kinda want me to make this nighttime.

Reminds me a lot of a game called Vanishing Realms:

That being said, I think it looks fantastic!

Some people thought my original rodense hud was complicated.

Im taking that as a challenge.

Hey just fyi, you might want to lay off on the custom content in alpha. You can easily go without the lamp props and just have lights there. Also the crates don't need to have the frontline tarp over them, and the wooden barbed wire things seem to do nothing other than just get in your way.

I know, but I don't really feel bothered by having to pack custom content in my maps. Also the reason I took so darn long with the bridge was me having to build it from scratch.
