    It was a cool idea for the theme but I think the layout had some problems.

    Hello Mapcore! Thanks for checking out the progress so far

    Excited to announce that Kaizen is being developed by Jakuza and myself

    Besides a couple tile textures and some early proxies (brushes [no pun intended] off shoulders) Jakuza made most of the content so if you think it's terrible please msg him directly (thank you)

    All jokes aside Kaizen is currently in development and we would love to share some of progress so far. We're diving knees first into the deadline

    Workshop link coming soon!

    I didn't play the original, but reminds me a lot to the custom map placed in tokio for LFD2. What worries me is the visibility of the CT models, which are darker. Congratulations for your work over all.

    I of course gave a like to the screens, very good work here.

    At a second inspection, and after considering other’s comments regarding the darkness, I realised that what feels weird is what it feels as total lack of lampposts. At close inspection I can see you have some in there, but the lighting is very same-y across the board. It makes it look very aseptic and fake. I feel you need many more lights placed at player level/illuminating main paths, atm seems there’s environmental lights and floor level lights. Yes there are some lights on top of doors and other player-level elements, but they are out on the side. I would like a stronger accent on lights that illuminate paths vs end lights, less bright and different hue the latter with some spotlights highlighting “hero” buildings.

    Not sure if you are planning to give a decal and prop pass to make it look much more dirty, cos like I said seems too clean.

    This map is beautiful but I have to agree, what is up with the skybox? It's pretty much a flat grey with a bit blue and a gradient on the horizon. There isn't any moon or stars or clouds at all and it makes it look a bit unrealistic.

    edit: I suppose there would be a lot of light pollution since its in the city and you wouldn't be able to see many stars anyway but there should still at least be some clouds or something.

    Thanks for spotting it, missed it during our clipping pass I suppose. Was pretty hectic those last couple days...


    @Minos (and Tokit, sorry can't tag you for some reason) agreed on the skybox. It's uncanny, especially with the hard shadows. Will need to work on this before final submission

    Everyone enjoy your holiday breaks!

    I've uploaded an updated to the workshop addressing some of the bigger bugs (ignore odd lighting / shadows since this was a Fast compile) catching a flight in 4 hours to visit family, the update should make the FaceIt public playtest a bit smoother : )

    Looking to update once again early Jan before the 10th

    Cheers
