I'm sure that by now most of us have our sleeves rolled up and are ready to tackle yet another year, but before we move forward let's take a moment to look back at what 2017 meant for our community. It was a time of immense growth for both professionals and amateurs alike. A time when everyone seemed to have surpassed their former selves. And without slowing down, some have even managed to land their first job in the industry. I don't know what this new year holds, what challenges to overcome will arise, but I know for certain that I'm excited to see everyone become even greater!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise!

You better finish that remake. It's looking pretty promising!

gj everyone. tangerine is my favorite map of the year.

Yeah, I like the vibes of Tangerine as well. It's really rough around the corners, but with some more TLC it could turn out as something special. That is, if @Harry Poster wants to keep working on it.

A lot of promising maps from the contest, some that didn't make it to the list. I hope their respective creators manage to take them to the next level.

@Radu

Don't worry, it will be finished this spring or early summer. I had to to make some layout changes and unify the map's theme, because the old version was a weird stew of themes. Also i had to learn how to use substance designer to create my own custom textures (tiles and plaster walls).

      [CS:GO] Shore

      Radix posted a topic in Level Design,

      One of the projects I worked on after I made de_austria.

      Yeah, I know the timing is really bad (CS2!), but can't change it... 🙁

      In general a lot went wrong during this project. Had a lot of problems with the layout, but I think I found a good compromise in the end. Also learned many new things. Maybe I would even be ready to create a really good map now after all, but I think that it's gonna be the final one. I really like making maps, but it has become too time consuming over the years for just being a hobby. Unfortunately I never managed to get a job in the games industry. So that's it. I hope it's a worthy ending of 20 years of making maps for me. 🙂

      Shore is a bomb defusal map for CS:GO that takes place on Lofoten Islands, Norway. (Also have a Hostage version of this that works well imo)

      I took some inspiration from this place in Norway:
