This looks nice. I love how you've added a sort of "branding" to the map. "Future Co." Nice touch

Thanks, I did my best to keep it authentic and give it a design around the name of the map.

I can understand that point, big dilemma for me how to block off players because on my map there's no natural way to do it. But I think because T's start where they do if you go on the outside of the map, the choke point ends up in a pretty boring place. It could have been interesting in the outside area, just a tad further along for the CT's. Especially considering the other choke is a hallway too.

I think it depends how it's played. In the mock-competitive match I played, I noticed that intersections would happen for the CTs outside more towards the back of the truck, leaving them more out-in-the-open than the outside corridor. I made sure CTs also had a lot of control over the inside hallway, too, getting there far before Ts, but then again, everyone plays differently so it might've been different in your perspective.

That's just how the light turned out with default settings for full compile. Was wondering if there was some setting or technique I should be using to avoid that happening.

You can make the corners into propper_models if you have propper configured. You can also try making them into func_details if you haven't, or increase the 50% and 0% falloff distance to light the wall more evenly (I try to keep these values at increments of 64). And if they're specifically light_dynamics, you can adjust them the same accordingly with the brightness.

Resourceful use of textures, but some of the rounded corners are acting odd like they tend to in CS:GO. Did you set the smoothing groups on these areas, or is it just reacting to lower light on un-parallel surfaces?

Name will change in the end, once beta hits.

I have a rather odd question regarding the Steam Workshop. I hadn't really checked the numbers in a while, but last time I looked at the viewer and sub stats it was around 36 each. Now I have 531 unique viewers, and 1067 subscribers? How does that even work? Am I being botted or something? (more subs than viewers)

Pretty sure this is attributed to users putting a map on their server or hosting it, and people downloading the workshop version from there. People don't have to add a view to your workshop submission in order for it to count as a workshop download.

Quote from biXen

Played a bit on this map against the bots while I worked on my sensitivity settings. I think it's a nice looking map, and there's a fun tight feel to it. I would say it feels pretty fresh, because I often feel many maps feel as a dust or nuke clone. I think some of your nice outside area/details could be shown more, you have pretty much walled it in with literally walls

That said for the rounds I played, (full casual game on CT and T) it felt very heavy on the opposite side of the map from the outside, so to speak. For that reason it feels like a lot of the map is unused. I am also not a fan of the tight hall (the grey one) with 90 degree corners and the staircases that are so deep/tall. But that's just personal opinion. I was very hesitant about having a staircase / level in my own map, but have decided on some things that make it ok, so guess I shouldn't say you shouldn't have one

Thank you for giving me feedback. I don't know why people follow the "if it's not broken don't fix it" and design their maps around dust2 and nuke, I think it inhibits people's potential. And I know what you mean about the walls, but I do hate in competitive maps when you have visual barriers that don't match physical barriers (such as a traffic barricade that you could jump over, but in actuality, it's a playerclip wall reaching to the ceiling). So, I tried to keep the barriers as consistent with what you're able to do as possible.

The Ts vs. CTs on office is something I also wanted to avoid, and at that cost, I wanted to make it if anything CT sided. The basement portion in a mock competitive playtest with some friends was the only advantage to Ts that we saw, and it helped balance the amount of Ts that would have to dedicate to defending that area because of the ones that had to rush outside to defend that hostie. However, I understand what you're saying, it's tight, and the staircases are very steep (other people have told me this, too).

Nice meme.

Quote from SotaPoika

If it involves "Propper", then I'm aware of it. It's just, doing that stuff with displacements can't be painless.

You'd be surprised how powerful the displacements/subdivision are in Hammer. The whole reason I did any of it is because I already had a lot of Source SDK knowledge. I didn't want to explore a modelling program, especially one as counter-intuitive as blender.

Quote from SotaPoika

Models made in Hammer with displacements? Now that seems interesting!

Someone posted a question on gamebanana asking how I did it, and it was mostly trial and error. Guess there aren't many tutorials out there for this, so I may make one.

Just giving a "future" update: I will be releasing the models made in hammer soon on Gamebanana.

I will post the link here when I do put them all together for community use.

A small retro-futuristic map with content created mostly in Propper. Feedback of all kinds is welcome.

Description:

Our thoughts on the future contain both elements of Utopia and impending apocalypse. In this case, this small-town's Future Co. has come under siege, placing this small Utopia in a dangerous situation, raising the threat and possible death-toll--sending safety into a downward spiral.

Several spies have objected to the ideas of progression and aim to take down Future Co. through acts of negotiative terrorism. These means of negotiation have been intercepted by the FBI, allowing them to stealthily work their way in to remove the impending threat without putting justice on the line.

Objective: Save those hostages before we lose our freedom!
