I did reply to some of the feedback, and changed the map after it.

But the things I did not do is directly refering to the people who suggested the changes. Maybe that was wrong.

Some examples:

- Brightness (I added ambient light making the map more bright in general and I made a lot of the lights brighter)

- The camper/save corner at t-spawn which got completely removed

- The method to build skybox buildings more accurate was used with two skybox building (I know that you can't know that)

- The door to A-Upper which was only a wood tile and now looks like a door

There might be more, but those are the suggestions I used, that I'm able to think of.

Regarding the theme, I did not respond or barely to those questions because I simply couldn't answer them.

But you, and some others did inspire me to think of it.

So here are the things I can say now:

Original I wanted my Map to be a nightmap simply because I wanted it to be something special compared to the official mappool.

To match the night theme, I thought of an old, nearly abandoned city, so I was thinking, that using the brick textures, which came with hammer would fit.

But I also wanted the map to look different in different areas. So in the original concept I divided it into an industrial(B-spot) and an "living" area(A-spot).

Corresponding I decided for it to have two mids (upper mid with the fountain, lower mid with the garbage). With every mid connecting to one of the Bombspots.

Those were the original thoughts, I had in mind.

I did expand on that. With the following being the thoughts I came up with during the contest.

The map ist set in an old european coast city/village, which got rich by whalehunting, but then by suddenly, after this source of money was gone, the city lost a lot of

people and a lot of those things used for whaling got abandoned and everybody stopped caring about them. (even if the last part is not finished at all at this state)

So this is the theme i thought of.

And the thing with the mapcore playtesting, well I was busy the past weeks with university and other stuff. So I simply forgot about that. Before those weeks, the time the contest started,

I had an own source of playtest, so I simply did not bother (sorry).

But still I got feedback of newer version by people i reguraly play with about what they like, don't like and which would not fit in cs:go.

And after this I did change the map.

I'm sorry that this misconception could appear, primarely by my fault of not marking people in responses directly.

(Sorry for my english)

Also, if theres any interest in this version I took the screenshots with, I could publish a filehoster link, where you can download the map.

But this way you have to put the files in the right places by yourself.

So write something, if there is actual interest.

Thanks for your time.

Next update incoming. (as soon as workshop let's me )

All of this changes should be looked on as upcoming.

Changes :

Mid:

- changed the sandbags to this wall, for balancing purposes

A-Spot:

- removed a static prop in front of a

- reworked ct area to better suit to the clipping i made there

- added a boosting spot, to increase tactical depth at the ct-water area

Misc:

- reworked the roof of this wall between t-spawn an A-Spot

Some final notes:

Those are the changes I am certain about. There may be more in that update.

Once I uploaded, you will know.

As always have fun and feel free to leave feedback

New update released.

- Improved clipping in mid

- improved skybox (added buildings)

- enhanced detailing on one house

- added first piece of "background story"

As always feel free to leave feedback.

New update is here.

A-Spot :

- fixed windowscale

- reworked ct-water area

B-Spot:

- reworked some architecture

Layout :

- removed the save spot at t-spawn

This is all for this update.

As always feel free to leave feedback.

Thanks for the feedback everyone provided so far.

To some things mentioned:

Non-solid windows,edges etc. : - this is a decision i made to favor uncomplicated gameplay (or i just hate to stuck at such things)

sharp edges : - I do like sharp edges more than round edges when it comes to playing and holding those angles. So i decided that no gameplay-relevant edge should be round.

But i am working on making the map look less blocky.

Also i wil focus on fixing the mentioned wrong scale on a-spot.

Next update is here.

- improved detailing in a lot of areas

Lighting :

- added ambient light which should make the map more playable on low brightness settings

- brightened up b-spot upper areas

A-Spot :

- made the way to booster/upper more reasonable

Bugfixes :

- fixed a boost on b-spot which would give you one way vision

Thanks for reading, and as always, feel free to leave feedback.

Just to clear up the boat thing.

Hello, thanks for the huge amount of feedback.

I will look into a ot of the things suggested, which I was planning to do anyway like the windows, the details on the houses and so on.

The tunnel behind the silver door is more a leftover from an older version. I did not remove it, because I was thinking of making it an out of play area,

which would add a bit of detail to the tunnel area.

But I couldn't decide on keeping it or removing it.

Thank you for your time.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

The people I played the map with had no problems regarding light.

But I still consider making the light a bit brighter.

Maybe in a later update.

(I usually play on a brightness setting 1.6, on which the map does look fine for me)

The Layout might look wrong on the minimap, cause there is only one way in the bottom left corner.

But i realise the one thing could look like a second way, but this is a dead end, mostly used to save weapons.

I maybe should put some afford in distinguishing the path and the dead end a bit more on the minimap.

And the theme and artwork is mostly the greatest weakness of the map so far. I wanted it to appear old, but still not boring, so i used different colored brick textures.

The floor should be some kind of stone, just like the walls.

With the 3d skybox building, which you identified as church, it is meant to be a castle, but working with 1/16 scale makes it a bit hard to be precise in design. (in my oppinion, with my mapping skills)

But using bigger scales would cost performance as far as I know, so i stick to 1/16.

And ofcourse aesthetic, design, are not finished by now. I will keep working on them.

Sorry for the large answer and my bad english.

EDIT : The boat makes sense in my oppinion, because it is at t-spawn, which so provides a way terrorists found thier way there.

Took some time, but here is the first update of de_perish since I entered it to the contest

I did change some things so now at first the new minimap :

Now to the changes in detail :

B-Spot :

- made entering ct-upper way easier

- added some props

- made movement to tunnels easier (raised ceiling etc.)

Mid :

- replaced the white house with this platform, which offers ct more strategic elements when it comes to holding mid

- added a wallbang spot at t-spawn, over the entrance to second mid where the crates are

A-spot :

- rebalanced the spot to be more t-friendly and open

- added the street light as an easy way to molotov/nade the corner on the left

- booster now has a destroyable wooden railing

- added a ledge (left side, below the crate) for an easier way to take a

- boxes on the right are no longer spammable (only through their corners, fully spammable boxes lead to a flash-bug)

Misc :

- added decals for a more aesthetic experience

- added buildings in the 3d skybox

- modified a 3d skybox building

Those were all changes made in this update.

Thank you for reading and feedback is always appreciated.

Hi i'm Promulle,

I started mapping not long time ago and want to enter my first map de_perish.

The map was already playtested and optimized by feedback from playtesters.

I hope you like the map, and of course feel free to leave feedback.
