[WIP] de_zansort

Ok. I decided to participate in this contest but there might be a chance i won't finish it because of school. Anyway, the map is set in a fictional resort on the island of Zanzibar. Just like almost everyone i made a moodboard. (Some pictures are from a resort i visited once). I have some experience with hammer(a year now) and i recently started with modeling. If you like this idea and want to team up just send me a PM.

Ok small update of the map. I have started with my greybox. (No full layout yet, i think i will make the area's one by one)

This will be T-spawn

First version of the radar:

(The top spawn is CT and the bottom one is T spawn)

For me, i think the top part is the main problem. I will probably simplify most of those paths above and playtest it. Starting again for now seems like a drastic option. But thanks for you input.

Published the map on the workshop.

Here you can you see the new version of the radar:

And here are some screenshots of the map (inside lighting might be a bit dark):

Yeah i already did a community playtest and found out that all the entrances are to wide. Also some area's will be a bit smaller.

Ok after some time being away i made some small progress again. Below here you can see some screenshots of the results.

Since my playtest on august the 14th i made some big changes. This mostly include cutting sightlines and adding some more cover. (workshop is not 100% up to date)

After school has started i finally had some time to make some progress again. I am still looking for a teammate who could help me with some 3d models ,textures and has some good ideas to improve the gameplay of the map. Anyway here are some screenshots of recent changes.

Last week i did some little more detailing (no props or anything, just shaping the house a bit more and i added a roof over the bar area)

After the last playtest on the source engine discord i made some changes to B before i start with the middle-rework.

After i made some changes to the left bombsite i started on my mid-rework, made some changes to the right bomsite, shifted the right bombsite a bit to the left and added some other things.

Here are some pictures of the result.

After a few weeks since i last posted i made some more changes to middle and A site (and some small ones to B site).

PS: I am still looking for someone who could help me with this map (Because otherwise the chances are high i won't finish it in time). So if you can model some nice props (and texture them, because i currently suck at substance painter) or/and can help me with the layout, you can contact me here if you want to help me: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198122041286/ (I have discord as well but i only add people as a friend there who i know in person)

A few weeks ago i started with modeling props and here you can see the result of a complex model (for me to make)

Thx to @Sick_TwinN for helping me while making the model and for some of the feedback.
