Hi! I'm a bit late on this but here it is, de_Lakewood. This map was submitted to the SEDiscord Wingman Contest. I'm late to posting it here, but i did submitted it in time, so no worries.
Well, about the map, I've been working on it since June 2020, tested a lot with my friends and started decorating it on august. The theme was supposed to be an abandoned religious complex, that's why the name was going to be de_Pray, I've changed the theme and name as soon as i started the artistic process, I knew i would not be able to do all the things that I wanted, and that was why I changed the theme to an abandoned boarding school, called Lakewood. I am happy with the result, the biggest issue that I had was that i didn't used any reference photos, i did all through my head, that was a big problem but was also something that I was not willing to re-do.
I think the layout is working just fine and the biggest flaw on the map are: No radar, Tall Stairs & Some low-res textures. I will fix all of these as soon as the results are published. Until then, I can't update the map, so, I'm sorry for that.
Another thing worth mentioning is, this is my first completed map that I did it all by myself. There are no custom things, only some papers about lore that no one cares about. I'm currently on a Game-Development class, it is supposed to take 4 years and I am still on the first year, learning about modelling and just now learning about UV and Textures. So my next CS:GO map projects will certainly have custom models and more custom textures, I just wanted to learn properly on my course instead of searching on Google just for custom things to Lakewood
