It's so cool! A really nice use of color. Keep going.

Looking good, those ceramic facades sure remind me of my visit to Lisbon last summer I'd like to see some more AO in certain textures/props!

You definitely did your homework, I'm from Portugal and that already feels like home to me.

Alright, I'll start nickpicking on this map immediately. ill keep you guys updated.

ok, I'm back for round 1

1: most green doors have a weird clip that makes you stuck onto it if you walk along the wall

2: the the small ledge between the street and the sidewalk have a weird clip. it should instead be a slope imo

3: the box (I think its a box) I'm looking at has something invisible above it so you can't jump when on it

4: texture glitchhhh

5: more odd clips (white door in the second picture)

I should mention this is the best palm tree I've ever seen, except when you're stuck on the right

another clip here, but the wall/railing next to it seems way too high for it to be simply jumped on (maybe crouch jump instead). might be just me.

and there's the 5mb upload limit.

there's also a plant bed (ima call it that) near a that has a awkward clip similar to the streets.

ps: ill only do a part two if you guys consider it important.

Tulip was one of my favorite Community maps and this map brings me back same feeling,

I liked design of it and since Ruby is not that different i think it will be great.

Make sure it has that Mediterranean feel to it with vibrante colors.

Pictures not coming up right now but I saw them onteotter so giving and “awesome” upvote anyway ?

What an effort, looking forward to see it in the next Operation

The size and timings of the map are comparable to maps currently in active duty and the layout with clear land marks and a few unique areas should be easy to learn for every player of every skill level.

I think this is your strongest work yet. The sparkling ocean effect (sprite?) is really fun. In the past you’ve maybe not had the most realistic style, but you truly made it work here without losing any of your charm. Interested to play it soon!

SWEET!!, will be pimpin' it asap . Good job.

I wanna have that cake

Just had a quick run-through and I have to say the artwork and detail in this is incredibly stunning. This is by far your best work to date and I am simply blown away by how much effort and time went into this. The murals and road patches/blending/detail are definitely my favorite smaller details.

Absolutely fantastic job man you deserve all the praise for this

Absolutely incredible! You are amazing at creating these city maps, catfood. I can keep running around the map for hours and I will always find new things. Amazing attention to detail. I've been following the development of this map since the first public greybox throughout all it's iterations and It's absolutely amazing how far it has come.

I think ruby is the first map i had a walk around while shift-walking the entire time. That soundscape man - awesome shit. Your sound recordings definitely payed off! Incredible what feeling that adds to the map.

After jumping into the map, I have to say it's one of the best I've seen ever; together with Subzero, Biome and Grind, which are some of my personal favorites. This is really unique, and even the 1st version that i playtested with some friends were one of my favorites. I also like how you kept it similar in terms of layout, but simplified it to the point where it could be a good, competitive map. Keep up the good work, and hopefully I'll be able to playtest it soon.

Love it! Great work dude!

Its nearly 2 years since my greybox feedback at page one. Time flies!

This map seems to be one pinnacle of counterstrike mapping. The artwork is really impressive. Every added detail fits to the scene. It's fun to wander around.

There are 2 things which i dont like; both are sadly seen on most maps: - you can't jump to some places which look like you could go there - you can't slide along walls without getting stuck permanently

Nevertheless this map has to be in the next operation and it will be. Thanks catfood for this map!

Now, after having played a competitive game on the map, It is still really good, just a bit T-sided. The first thing I noticed is that the rotation time is a bit too long, which it doesn't look like it will be, but once you play it competitively, you'll understand.

The other thing is the middle. I like the middle, but it is heavily T-sided, and way too easy to take control of. It might just be that my team didn't coordinate good enough, and maybe you should play one guy top mid and one guy short, and then it'll be less T-sided. I think the bomb sites are good though and a lot of fun. The retaking potential is good, and we had a lot of fun gun-fights on them. I will probably be playtesting more in the future, and maybe it'll give me more of a vision on how the map plays. But for now, this is my feedback!
