Thank you Ugui! I have added a way to go from mid to A-bombsite by going inside one of the buildings and up 2 floors, but I will try to add more elevated gameplay areas later on.

Nexusdog, great point! I started by making a topdown layout:

As you can see it has changed a bit!

This topdown with reference pictures was all I made before I started to create the level.

I started with a quick blockout:

Followed by a more advanced blockout:

After that I did a quick texturing of the level, just so the player could orient themselves better:

And then I started to add props to the buildings:

One thing that I had problems with (and still have) is that I did alot of things to my BSP's that you never should do, like rotating them without snapping. Hammer forces the BSP to align when you compile and it gave my roofs very odd shapes:

I chose to stick with my decision on rotated BSP roofs(they are still in there but I replaced the worst ones) and I will have to fix all my roofs in an upcomming patch.

I continued to prop the buildings:

Iterated by adding more props:

And this is how it looks today after patch 1:

Thank you Vinneri, that's on my todo-list. Do you have any numbers on how much that kind of optimization would help?

birdwizard - I will fix this in an upcomming patch. I'm not at all pleased by how it looks at the moment. As of now the 2 next big things I need to change on the map are the roofs and the ground.

Patch 2:

Aligned all textures

Added ropes

Added fog

Added a lamp in A site

Added flickering lights at B and A site

Added chickens

Added color correction

Added wind

Added animated trees

Optimization pass on lightmap

Added post postprocessing(blur)

Added several more cubemaps

Added new overview map without roofs

Changed the size of bombsite A and shortened one of the ways getting to it for T.

Fixed several spots where player could get up on roofs by adding more playerclips

Fixed BSP crack at the second floor leading to the balcony

Fixed overlay wall-bleedthrough on BSPs

Minor BSP align-corrections

A couple of new dev photos:
