    Kind of hard to leave any feedback on gameplay or aesthetics until the map get a bit more shape so I'll just tell you this.. great-friggin-brushwork. Shapes and spaces feel really nice and natural. Love the bench-ledge-curved-thingy in mid. However, I think you should add some clip so it's not such a hard step if you stand on it and go on to the ledge. Otherwise, the only thing I can complain on - even if I'm certain that'll change in later versions - is that the props used feel a bit repetitive. Excited to follow the progress. Keep it up!

    @Upperdawg This is the perfect time to provide gameplay feedback. We're hoping this is the last large gameplay iteration, so everything from here on out should be minor adjustments while we start the art passes.

    The flowerbeds in mid are going to cause some problems and will need balancing. The props on the bombsites are a little repetitive, I'll give you that, but we'll vary the look as we progress.

    Thanks for the feedback :)

    Here's a lil album to address some of the changes based on concerns people had in the playtest, all the images have been titled with complete descriptions:

    Other changes have been made / started, but these were some of the more obvious, and I don't think you need a screenshot of me blocking a sightline through a prop, or explaining why I did it.

    The short box on B with OP head angle into short and CT spawn has partially been addressed still trying to see how best to do it.

    Well done you two!

    B starts to look real pretty, can't wait to see more.

    My only complaint would be on the Italian flags, seems a bit of an unnecessary reinforcement… don't start putting them everywhere, as we are not nationalists, you'd be better off with football flags, Milan, Inter, Juventus or since the area maybe Fiorentina. Peace flags used to be more common than national flags.

    Message me when you need those signs checked.

    I'll try to keep it to one nationalist household for the map. The flag was added to catch the player's eye and bring attention that there is another path.

    looks very good apart from the exploded wall and dead model. Please no do this.

    Those debris meshes were used in hl2 and are literally over 10 years old now and looks like garbage. Gogo replace!

    Looks I'll have to relocate Bob and his mess else where. Poor Bob.

    Fair enough! Gameplay first :)

    Looks nice for your first attempt! Seems to tile nicely too. I think you have a real shot at wining this contest looking at the number of finished projects if you can get this done on time.

    We will see if that is possible. It would be a miracle if we finish, seeing how all the detailing is being done with this month.
