[CS:GO] de_himeji_castle - Final Release (Defusal Map)

    Hello everyone,


    I was told that this is a very good community to show off your work, so here I am. I released de_himeji_castle sometime ago, back then it was released for a contest on which I won first place. The map is set at the hearth of Himeji, a city in Japan. The medieval castle is located on the top of a mountain and is prominently viewable from the city.


    As such, the map is a reconstruction of a real-existing place/building, although the interiors and the actual layout are different. I could only completely reconstruct the outside geometry and architecture, but the inside, prop placement, routes and some textures are fictional and do not appear in reality. Even more so, the acces to the castle is via a network of paths and dead ends and is not portrayed in the map, although the skybox suggests this kind of architecture.


    The map has a defusal mode and will be played as either Casual, Competitive or Deathmatch.


    Some pictures:

    That's it. I would appreciate it if someone could go over to the workshop, download the map, try it out and leave a like/subscribe It's really, highly appreciated!


    As a final note, I would like to say that I posted this thread only now because ever since the contest version which had some bugs and balancing issues, I tend to release this version as final, as it's completely different now and is heavily improved over the older version which I thought was not a good idea yet to post about.


    Enjoy the map!

    O yes, sorry about that. I didn't see that subforum on time, and I couldn't move it myself afterwards xD

    I didn't yet say it here, but I released a small fix version that prevented an exploit to get onto the roofs a B.
