Hello guys, this is the map I am currently working on and I thought that instead of waiting until the map is near complete before posting, I will post right from the dev block stages and keep a record of how the map progresses from the first stages.

My idea is to update as much as possible in a blog type fashion so that once its complete, it should be good to look back on it and see the progress. All images have been taken using dev shot cameras so once it’s done there will be a nice time-lapse.

The map takes place on a cruise ship that is influenced by the Royal Caribbean’s Freedom class cruise ships, but of course adjustments have been made to make the map properly playable.

I always wanted to make a map that took place on different floors, kind of like vertigo or nuke, and considering I also wanted to make a cruise ship map, it seemed like a good combination.

I’ve been working on the layout for quite a while now, and having it tested privately as well as on Mapcore, and am happy with the layout and how it plays. So I thought I would start this thread now as I will push forward to complete the map.

I will keep an imgur album of all the dev shots and its progress here (12 cameras in total)

And here are some shots for anyone that doesn’t want to look at the album

Will post an overview as soon as I can, because the map takes place on 3 floors, the upper levels block the lower ones in the overview so need to wait til I do a proper one

Looking forward to seeing progress, could be a cozy setting =)

Layout? Looks really nice right now. You might want to make all those imgur albums into one album with all the pictures. Most people (me) are to lazy to look at each one individually.

Skybex · March 4, 2015 at 12:27 PM

Will post the layout when i am able, its not possible right now to just take an overview due to the map being on 3 floors. The upper floors obscure the lower ones.

Also I set up the albums like that so when I add more images, you can scroll through them all from the same camera position.

Looking good so far! Thanks for letting us take a look into your map-creation process

Three floors!?!

You're gonna have some trouble with this. The sound in CS:GO does not support vertical-ness, take Nuke for example.

Valve added metal floor on B site so people could hear if the enemies are B or A.

What is going to be your way around this?

Glass floors

A cruise ship is a very unique setting, best of luck with the map. I'm happy to see another ship map being made alongside de_shipped.

Bodd Jonar · March 4, 2015 at 6:53 PM

Workout has the best layout that I have ever tried, at least for a hostage map. I hope you will not disappoint with this one.

So what do we win if we get the jackpot in the casino?

Vilham · March 4, 2015 at 7:09 PM

Cool setting, will be nice to see where you go with this.

Skybex · March 4, 2015 at 7:20 PM

@Guma, I'll do the same as nuke with different materials.

Demolitions, the jackpot is a luxury car

Awhile back I messed around making an arms race map based around the central staircase of a cruise ship. Couldn't get to the topside though.. just looking out the windows. I stopped working on it and abandoned it, after wasting time modeling columns, balcony rails, and a grand piano, though ><

The ship I was basing it off of was multi-leveled as well but I blocked off one of the levels so players only had access to two.

Three levels could be a bit much But anyway, just your brushwork alone is making it already look pretty nice. Can't wait until it's fine-tuned and the models and textures get applied!

Catfood's got the cargo ship, now skybex's got a cruise. Inb4 Operation Boat.

Skybox, imma let you finish, but Demolitions has the best boat theme of 2015.

In all seriousness, I think the theme has potential, it reminds me of Workout a lot in mood and tone, which means you'll probably have another hit on your hands. I agree it's a bit weird to have many boat maps, but whatever, awesome maps are awesome maps...

I've started work on DE_Canoe

I know! Hes already set the bar so high that I am not sure i can compete.

And it does have some similarities with workout at first glance, but I don't want to do a copy of the same map. So will purposely be avoiding the white/blue tones with orange contrast. Still doing tests but I think i will use one of these colour palettes. Mocha tones with either a red or green contrasting colour

In my tests I am really liking the red one, but it runs the risk of being a bit too oppressive and not at all friendly. But i will see how it goes.

The map will also be more of a mess than workout, thousands of panicked people trying to run away causing a lot of chaos in their path.

I see cruise ships as using a lot of purple and turqoise:

I think the velvet tones really clash with the setting. Most cruise ships aesthetics remind me of solo cups

Like I say, purple and turqoise. I don't think you should run away from Workout's aesthetic, which was white and true blue colors, but move to something a bit more regal and at the same time a little bit tacky

That has Mapcore's colours all over it!

I like the theme and it'll be very cool to see it progress in this topic
