Good press pre-launch can get you sales, but it will come at a cost to your rep if the game doesn't deliver. One game recently comes to mind...

This would be fun

Now that's something that should have happened twenty years ago

Not sure that seventh map is really needed tho.

What's so funny is, when he showed all those moments of Bioshock, those are the most vivid memories I have of the game all these years later. The good ideas stick in your head !

knew I shouldn't have watched it, thought it would be spoilery since I haven't played the game yet ?

This was an awesome watch

Strong stuff so far

Now I just have to make a little time for them, stay tuned.

Could be really useful for people in our new contest

It's harder to code a proper 3D viewport compared to the 2D texture previews, and implementing accurate Source engine looking shader is another challenge. It would have to emulate most of the vmt parameters, and chances are it would look different once ingame. Also Source 2 has been on the horizon now for quite some time, so it feels kinda pointless adding such a big feature only to have no one really use it. The Source mapping community is small, there's less people that make their own source engine textures, and the user base of VMT Editor right now is a small subset of those people.

So right now Dima (the coder) has his own obligations and can't really work on the editor any more and I don't posses the coding skills to implement all that. Like I said in the OP, the source code is on Gitlab if anyone would like to contribute, but unless there's like a big demand for new features like that it probably won't happen .

OK, makes sense

Sauce 2 pls

This shit is fucking nuts tbh

The future is most definitely upon us

Am I crazy or does this not have a 3d sphere visualizer? Seems like a really obvious "need" IMO

Really liking the icons tho

Rockstar games are always big threshold moments for me in gaming history. Can't wait for this bad boy

Really well done Source lighting > Noobie UE4 lighting. Only a fool blames his tools

Fucking dig new Inferno. Much to learn, much to study... a lot going on.

Spent the last few days running away from this, thankfully (well, for people in my area at least) it turned North. Florida will be eventually entirely underwater.

You're mapping IRL! You could call your company Atlas Sits and only make chairs

Well, it looks like the game is a success: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ (45k concurrent players as I write this)

Fuck it, I'll wait until I play the game. Can't wait for this one.

You're half right, Eich and Hanamura. Volskaya is my favorite map in the game, it actually solves this problem well: yes, you've got the crazy choke, but you also have a window which many characters can access, you can go over the choke, through it, and you also have the side flank. I wish every map in the game had that amount of options (and we're not talking about that many options...)

I'm sort of fine with Hanamura being broken in that way, because it was the only map like that for a long time, but now there are two maps in the game with the same gimmick. Not a fan. They should do this with all that wasted space, but the hole doesn't actually have to be Hugh Mungus:

I hope they get sued, Roadhog isn't a fucking turtle
