Hello, I'm new to the forum, but not necessarily mapmaking. Five or six years ago I created a few amateur maps that never saw the light of day, I had a blast learning and creating and that's what I hope to accomplish today.
My concept is make a Pyongyang, North Korea map for CS:GO, that pivots around two residential highrises. The hermit nation's architecture with the sort-of-symmetry accompanied by faded/dirtied pastels and concrete is beyond fascinating. Not to mention, the current political environment puts on this facade of a healthy, thriving nation while its inhabitants suffer in many forms. This video is a glimpse of that facade:
and a few images of interest, scroll through
So I ask of you, do you feel this is something you would like to see in a CS:GO map? The architechture is bland, but with the right layout I feel it could be unique and tactical. I would work to keep the open areas to a minimum, creating some lanes and variance in height. Just looking for some advise before I approach this.
I graphed out a rough layout, but it is an eye-bleed, so will put this up here when it looks decent. Thanks yo, sorry there is no eye-candy to accompany this post.
