    Inspired by quake, I was just messing with a few displacements in hammer, and it grew into a map.

    It is 100% displacements, bar a few brush based entities, and I've only been working on it for a few days.

    I post it here since a better mapper than me told me I should.

    In regards to possible comments on the lack of physics objects, there are func_physbox tiles currently, and in later versions I will have made them respawn.

    Thanks.

    That's hot! It does look a little small though. How many players can it support?

    12 player spawns at the moment, although it will be rather cramped on a 12 player server.

    I knew this all along, thing is that I'm pushing the boundaries in terms of map size, it's 35mb already. Many more displacements may well kill the fps, which I forgot to mention.

    The fps is noticeably better than on overwatch, even when I turn on AA + AF, lower end machines run it just fine without AA.

    That looks cool, but I'm worried about all those dead ends in your map that could affect the gameplay pretty bad.

    35mb? Even the biggest singleplayer map doesn't come close to that.. wow

    There aren't really dead ends as the gravity is set defaultly slightly lower allowing jumps to other sections.

    Like Zeta said, the gravityscale is at 0.5, so you can jump almost anywhere from the top.

    35megs?! I don't understand......

    Nevertheless, looks cool

    The displacements take a lot of space, I'm already 300% over what hammer calls "VERY FULL".

    Still, it's only 12mb compressed.

    Funky map, looks like something made in a 3D modelling package as opposed to a level editor.

    i think i would walk along the path and drop off the map in all those vertical curves

    Bonkers. Like it, not sure how it would play, but it certainly looks cool as hell.

    Aye, it does look nifty, but I would like to see some sort of central structure, maybe a wonky house or something, just to get players to have a reference to where exactly they are (everything looks kinda similar right now).

    Good job none the less

    I was about to suggest low gravity, cool that you already added that. Looks fun.

    Id say, its the first prototype of that kind of layout & style.

    The map himself has a very great potential , use it!

    For example u could build a central eyecatchin eyecandyin structure, and teleporters, and better textures with moving trims (Q3Ashader style).

    I could also imagine a CTF version, where the round outsides of the ways are blue and red......

    That map begs for jump-pads and teleporters:)

    Good job, I like the smooth style. It is however noticeable that it havent been worked that much on.
