[WIP] Marine

    So this contest started at a really good time, which is I decided to finally put this layout into hammer after 3 years of sitting on the basic idea. I started working on blocking it out around the time the contest was announced, and completed the layout/uploaded to the workshop on the 7th

    I have absolutely no references besides an image in my head which I really want to stick to, which is an awful idea *but* I'm gonna try it lmao

    The fundamentals is that it is a Marine Research Center out in the Gulf of Mexico, kinda like an oil rig but not oil and instead fishies bc fishies are awesome

    It's been out on the workshop for a couple days now, you can find it at this link. Screenshots can be found there bc i dont wanna spam images here. updates are to come based off of feedback

    so since this post i've updated the map quite a bit, adding a new room, a new pathway, and lots of detailing and to save you the 2 clicks of going to the workshop page and clicking the change logs im just gonna post all the changes since i posted this here:

    i think i've got the layout itself down to a point where detailing should probably be my next concern because the layout is practically finished i think, biggest changes i would probably be making would be cover adjustments and model replacements (when it comes to that idk)

    this has definitely been fun for a first map thing i guess
