    Exactly, every player has their own inventory, but we’re not targeting specific skins. It’s about general visual principles: we test the map with sample skins of different colors and brightness levels to make sure the map is readable no matter what players use. So it’s more about contrast and silhouettes than anyone’s personal inventory.

    A good start is thinking about contrast and readability. For example, in CS, certain wall or floor colors can make it harder to see enemy models if your weapon skins blend in. That’s why many designers test their maps with a variety of skin colors. Also, here’s a resources that inspired me: https://wiki.skin.club - you can see different skin colors and use that to check how your map feels with them.

    I feel like console might actually be more welcoming for new players. PC lobbies can be pretty brutal - curious what others think.

    Mostly on PC, and I love the precision. Console must feel totally different with a controller

    It’s kind of sad that everyone has moved to Discord and the forum is almost abandoned… but I guess that’s the price of progress. I came here hoping to find an active community.
