Been working on this on and off since the summer (hence the name). The map is located inside of a business park with a companies servers/infrastructure being the target.

Current Challenges

- Map may be overly simple at present

- Layout Needs to be reviewed in terms of Chokes and Spawn areas

- Lighting that doesn't look like the map is located on the surface of the sun

- Radar's Y axis is screwed (misaligned both top and bottom)

- Making map look good. Currently looks like duploland

- repeating textures make my eyes bleed.

- Models need to be created for server racking. I've never done modelling

- Find a better map name

Current Risks

- Hammer breaks my map when I add a 3d skybox (most common issue for me)

- I find a map-breaking design issue and give up

Hoping to get a WIP workshop link up soon so I can get some feedback before moving onto playtests.

I love this idea.

Sketching over screenshots might help you decide changes without committing.

The problem I have with going from a dev-block-out to a detailed area is that lines of site almost always change which creates additional design headaches

I set myself some loose mini goals (fix detailing at B etc) and split the map into 6-8 sections to update incrementally, this has kept me ticking over without giving up. I guess it depend how you work though. I know you are super precise with getting the layout on lock first etc.

I went back to source recently. Jesus the theme of that map is weird

De_forestation as suggested on reddit is still my favourite.

no operation yet. Wait officially killing me.

onebit - you should make a thread for your map

I think sound is calculated by distance alone.

The guy is saying on reddit the floor used to be func_detail (and metal) but valve changed it to a brush? I'm pretty sure you can have metal sounding brushes though...

I like this idea. if valve cannot fix these issues the maps will need to work around them.

isn't it thursdays?

(pattern unclear/cannot be bother flipping all these dates )

next week for sure. There's probably people on here that already know what's in it

Hoping that if VIP mode does happen the triggers and tools go on the workshop same day. It's like finding an untouched gold vein level design wise

CS_Italy is pretty much my main map currently (I have a friend who basically only plays this)

The balcony hostage spawn is really unfair for the CT side (as is most of the map)

If you start as CT and get 6-7 wins you're basically sorted.

The big rumour on reddit just now is VIP mode is being added. That would be damn cool.

this game was disappointingly easy. Solo'd the raidboss at level 31.

replace them with horses

Can't wait for the next playtest

I like the layout of this map but the texturing and prop work is a little random at times.

You can get on the roof at B quite easily btw. not sure if intended

It would be disappointing to remove a future 'visual highlight' of the map due to the potential for exploits.

hoping the trigger works.

*making mental note for getting SDK items published*
