    I've also released a gun skin with my friend Thurnip (the guy who designed Mapcore's logo :D). It's called the Electro Spirit, and we're gonna make more!

    Santorini's looking great. Are the roof's traversable? I don't remember feeling like there were any particularly roofy feeling routes in the graybox but I guess it's hard to tell some times. My only slight issue visually is with the bell tower with the funny blue roof (first shot). I realise it's "true to life", but in the context of a game it looks a bit like you got stoned and threw some crazy brushes.

    Good work on the skin too, I just wish it was on a gun that I'd ever use.

    Looks good. Has mid been changed at all? I didn't like how you could shut down the CT's hold with a single smoke on the last mapcore playtest.

    Map looks very nice, although the colours are a little more muted than I was hoping for.

    This is good feedback, I'm going to experiment with richer color.

    are the bells pitch corrected? will we be able to pop some sweet tunes by shooting at them?

    That's the goal

    Did you update the workshop link as well or will you only do so after you finished the details?

    I will re-upload the map once the art is complete.

    Sorry for my bad english,It seems that some people complain that the map might be too bright to be played for a long time,how will you solve the problem?

    The map has been constructed largely using tonal shifting of one set of textures either to blue, red, or darker shades of white. This has a lot of practical use reducing texture memory usage and file size. I've also managed to use this shading method to get the level to a point where it's not particularly harsh despite having a lot of white surfaces, but if it were an issue, it's easy to tone the textures down even more using this shading technique.

    do you amend the tones on a adhoc basis or did you have a 'plan' from the start (this area is going to utilise these shades of colour blah blah blah)

    I've always textured as I go (based completely on I feel) but I'd like to know what your process is?

    I've done a ridiculous amount of tweaking per-surface.

    In an ideal world, all of these surfaces would have (roughly) the exact same shade of white. This is the amount of tweaking I have to do to get an even result in-game. "What if it's too bright?" -- I select the bright surface and downshift its RGB values by x amount needed to reduce harshness.
