What I'm seeing from the screenshots is that you have very wide corridors with little cover for the players. Normally I like to put some smaller objects for players to hide behind, retreat or just reload mid fight.

I'm not a big fan of judging gameplay of the map from overview but it seem like you tried to avoid 90 deegree angles turns with angled walls. It only made the map looks "jagged" in some places. I would try to make the turns more fluid with smaller geometry.

Keep it up!

Yeah i need to add some more cover in some of the wide corridors. The "jagged" turns will be fixed in the detailing stage. Currently first aiming to create a decent layout and then detailing + polishing it.

Since the last post i did an extra playtest and added some more lighting. This is the result:

Welcome to my entry to the Source Engine Discord Wingman Contest. Below here you can find some of my references and pictures of the greybox. For now the map looks really dark but this will change over time. It is this dark because the light setting for the theme is around the fall of the night.

Link to the map: (currently not the new version): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…/?id=2099918669

The map is situated in a secret laboratory where the Vaccine for the Corona Virus is being developed.

Here are some of my references:

Some WIP pictures of the map and the radar:

I just checked the steam discussions and people on mac seem to have problems with downloading the map: https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discus…92024468092209/ .

Congratulations to the top 4 and all the others. I hope you will improve your amazing maps and one day maybe see it in a operation. I had a lot of fun playing these maps and participating in this contest. I learned a lot and i hope i can use all this new experience in my future maps.

@Sick_TwinN made some additions to the layout. I added an underground part but you cannot see it on the radar that clearly. We will probably release a test version in a few weeks.

Yeah will change that asap.

Welcome to Pithead. A wingman map set place at a small town around a goldmine in the mountains of Alaska. This is a collaboration with @Sick_TwinN. Below here you can find our moodboard and layout overview (the layout will change in the iterations). There is no workshop link yet.

Congrats to everyone! It was a great contest and i am glad i could participate.

Apperently the game crashes if you walk of the plank 2 times. Is this on valves end of a bug on the map?

Edit: Can't seem to reproduce it. Then it probably is on valve's end.

It was not a bot. It was my player model in third person. I got really close to the structure and when i jumped i got stuck (it was somewhere in the middle of the plank if i remember correctly.

this is not supposed to happen right? (This is not a jump screenshot)

I am finally able to say that i am happy with what i made (with some help from others like @Sick_TwinN for example). It is far from release state but i did the best i could to make it look nice. The map now has soundscapes as well and i used a tonemap to make to blur a bit less intense. Here are some screenshots

You know that this is the creator from that wingman map from the contest. The one with the weird custom player models. But maybe he changed his style.

Got some good news. Update has been succeeded. now waiting for approval. Btw a sneek peek of the bar area (with env_sprites)

FFS. Steam decided to fuck over my update so now i probably corrupted it. It takes so god damn long. Luckily i still have an bsp.

This map gives me far cry 4 vibes. In a good way.

Maybe, but that wont match with the sea. (You can't have 3 sides of the skybox that one and the last one a different one) So i think a 3d skybox would be better for that. (and zanzibar does not have that many forest)

Ty, probably wont make a 3d skybox before the deadline but i will try to implement the sounds.

Did some more detailing. Will probably update it to the workshop today. Shoutout to @Sick_TwinN for the bar models.
