de_Tildza

Map name - de_Tildza Map link - on Steam Workshop

Game mode - Bomb defusal

Idea - Create a level in Source 2 that is inspired from a real-life location. As cities are advancing the landscape of it is changing as well. I lived close to the location I chose for the map. It is an odd building. One would say a private residence. Another could point it out as a never-opened restaurant or hotel. When I first put my eyes on it, it was in a rough shape. At one point construction workers started to appear. They started to revive the building itself. The backyard of it as well. But again, at a point, when the roof was fixed, windows changed and doors shut. They left. And since then, I have not seen any real use of the property. It is connected in a weird way with a car washing building next to it. Well, not car wash anymore. Since time passed by it went bankrupt. A car parts shop opened in that place and have stayed there since. I personally think this building will be demolished and something else will be made there. That or a park. The map name? Well, since I have a connection with this place in real life, I dedicated it to a deceased friend of mine. Even though we lost contact for personal reasons, memories still go on. We both grew up in this place. So I give this map the same nickname I gave him back in the day. Tildza. Map building process -

A playable version of the map is on Steam Workshop. I am looking forward for you to try it out!

Spoiler

Radar. Mini map, first level.

@AstriK Thanks for the heads up! And trying out the map. I have made a few changes and improved the radar for playtests. Hopefully improved. T Side now has been moved but, about spawning outside the buyzone. Interesting because the primary 5 spawn points are placed within the buy zone. I will try to adjust it too! The middle and bombsites will change. I think of placing CTs in the middle. And T's even farther somewhere. You will be able to try the improved map today!

Spoiler

I've been putting some more work on the map. While working on it I figured, why not ask help from the community? On-the-spot naming of the map. While floating around the map and fixing a few things. @Olaftw Given feedback helped a lot! Thanks! I started to wonder how to name each place. Which calling would suit the best for each place? What each place could be called? Thoughts?

Sorry, Waki I could not fit in the pillar inspiration idea. The pillar had to go. More changes will also follow. The B plant will see an update in the future, a bigger one! I wanted to imply a pillar idea. I took inspiration from Military Conflict Vietnam map - Remastered U.S. Embassy. The pillar in my opinion could be used for amazing layout ideas! Well. Just not in this case. I will try to fix the ''clutter'' problem I have around the map. Feedback has been heard! Thank you!

Spoiler

Thoughts what to add? Change? Remove? Thank you!

3 hours ago, JCK-1 said: Those stripe shadows seem super distracting but I might love them.

I am thinking about how to change that situation actually. Maybe add a plank under the wooden pillars. Maybe not?

After multiple complains about this part of the map. Finnaly this building has a roof. Well, I always planned to add it. But to answer you all. It has been added in this update. I will work on the light inside of it, next!

Spoiler @Olaftw Hopefully now the lighting of the map is working. Thank you for pointing it out!

The update of 16.06.2024 should be live any second now. I will add another time-lapse short video of the mapping building process if you wish to learn more about this project!

I am thinking about adding plywood like this on top of the pillars in the B bomb plant building. In my version of the location, this building has it's third/fourth story being constructed. And these plywood planks, are the result of the floor being prepared to be made. Thoughts? @JCK-1

Spoiler Well, since @FMPONE mentioned stuff about places like this. In this amazing video. I thought, at least try to imply them in the map! Have you seen the video?

Spoiler
