Victoria

Hello! English is not my native language, so I will use Google translator, sorry

So, the scene of the map is a huge Victoria Falls.

The bomb site A is an observation deck on which terrorists placed dangerous toxic substances to poison water and harm nature.

The bomb site B is a botanical garden where a unique collection of rare plants (and their seeds) is collected and terrorists are going to destroy it.

And now I will present screenshots of what I started with and where I came to:

• First version (general idea)

• Second version

• Third version

• The fourth version (pre-final layout)

• Fifth version (final layout + start of creating a visual image)

And a few more screenshots of the current version of the map:

• Spawn of counter-terrorists

• A bomb site

• Spawn of terrorists

• Road to bomb site A

• Mid

• Terrorist mid

• B bomb site (general form)

• B bomb site

• B bomb site

• Road to bomb site A (general form)

Thanks for reading!

I agree. I haven’t set up the lighting for the map yet, which is why it looks so bad.

I will definitely do it, but now I just set the props on the map to create the first visual version. Thanks for your comments!

The current name of the map seems very appropriate (and beautiful) to me. I doubt that I will change it, but thanks for your remark.

Thanks! I'll think about it...

Hmm... that sounds like a good idea.

I made a quick sketch of the new building architecture. Here's what happened:

Ready a quick sketch of the geometry, and also made the final version of the layout.

Due to a critical error, func_buyzone and func_bomb_target do not work on the map. I fixed it and am already compiling the map in its final form. here are some screenshots and radar:

Spoiler

I thought I solved the problem, but it turns out not. now func_buyzone on terrorists is not available on the map. I decided not to pull and open access to the map, now only deathmach is available therehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…/?id=1984417232

Yeah. I was inspired by the biome map

I don’t know if I succeeded, but I added a competitive mode.

Thanks for the honest review! I agree that the center is a problem, I also agree that at certain points fps sags very much (I don’t know why), I know that the buildings are too similar (but I wanted to fix it by adding a unique background, like a bridge and a waterfall, I’m not sure that navigation is really difficult).

I'm also unhappy with the waterfall it could be done better, much like Basalt did, I think I will decompile this map and see how the waterfall is made there BUT there is a big problem: if you use the $translucent parameter, then the waterfall lights up when the bomb explodes, it looks very bad, so I probably still have to use the $alphatest parameter

I am not a professional in level design and art, so a lot of things look average. ?‍♂️
