Update 16.10.2024. -Added more roof in mid -More details in areas -Adjusted cover in A and B site -Tweaked A and B pathing for Ts Note: Due to my university starting and the timing of the Mapcore FACEIT hub schedule I didn't have too much time to do changes since the last update, so some things like the radar overview and some parts might seem outdated or unfinished. Core gameplay should still be relatively close to final.

We've pushed an update for Skyline before it goes on the Faceit Hubs this friday. It focuses mostly on the outside / yard section of the map which now has a better defined style that we want to take the visuals, without changing the layout / cover pieces too much. We also updated the lighting to a dusk setting rather than bright sunlight

With the map going on rotation at FACEIT, here's the latest changes: The focus this time was mostly on "space design", converting the blockout shapes to actual buildings, adding all the city architecture, the various alleys leading out of the map etc. Some of these additions did lead to layout changes which we feel are for the better. Radar:

Hello everyone! Good luck with the contest :))))) De_Undertow is a sewer map. Now i know there are a lot of people who have childhood trauma battling trough a sewer level in a legend of zelda game or something like that but i'm here to make you whole with De_Undertow. This map has very stacked and layered design making you travel deeper and deeper into the sceptic system underneath a busy city. I have color coded each location in this map with very earthy recognizable colors to make it easy to navigate and to set you to the mood. I also wanted to do a map with more fluid take on rotation control. In De_Undertow you have to take few areas to comfortably rotate as each team. The map does have a "classic middle" area but is more of a connection point to B-bombsite and routes to A. I'm really excited to now start to playtest this map and make it as intuitive and enjoyable to play! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3284235225 I got some mapping content on my channel here is a stream clip of me working on my earlier contest entry that i never finished.

Same from me! Map will be something!

Congrats everyone who made it into stage 2! I really enjoyed myself! Gonna practise and come up with something interesting for the next Mapcore Tournament!

Maybe the ship could be named Borealis throw an somewhat easter egg in it. Maybe Freeman with the aliens and crowbar will follow, haha! The map looks visually amazing, hope you make the best out of it! Best of luck in the judging process!

Hey, had a look at the map, the map is cool, but I'm a little sick of the map, too many beveled corners. I think if you flatten the map it would be better

The quality of these is getting ridiculous. Really cool theme and amazing presentation so far

Just a reminder to add the workshop link for your map in your first post so your entry can be counted!

Is it fun? How is the performance? I haven't had time to optimize it...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Aug 3 Update One final update before Aug 4, hammered out some minor changes after a good playtest and fixed some minor technical issues. Full changes can be seen on the workshop page, but the big ones are the removal of some unfair headglitch spots on A Site, addition of some cover on B Site, some more visual improvements, primarily regarding the skybox, and the addition of a team select screen, team intro animations, and a post-match screen. Altogether, I feel the map now plays at an exceptional level, looks pretty nice for a wip amateur map, and is one that can be wholly enjoyed. Hoping for the best as phase 1 ends, and once again, best of luck to all A few updated pictures for anyone interested

New shortcut in sewers to avoid campers with awp And better look toilet room (more realistic) And bells it have sound when you shoot them (i guess its cool bonus of specific model from de_inferno and you dont need any triggers)

Cool idea About new environement Maybe some geysers But without smoke, for better optimisation ) And it can fit to your rocks theme Thats all ideas i have )

Guys, there's an additional update after we declaring de_panlong's greybox finish. Now the covers in bombsites have been well cooked, as well as a new friendly connector for CTs.

Hope u make it to next round! Goodluck with contest

We were able to implement almost everything that was criticized in the first playtest. We hope that the changes are a step towards to a balanced map. Here are some new pictures.

Hello, Another pack of changes: Moved CT and T spawns. Reworked B-site. Removed connector between A and B site. Removed indoor part close to A site. Removed under part in long. Changed stairs to A site. Cheers!

I just uploaded a timing test version on the workshop. i will be playtesting this map soon on MapINK discord. Right now the map is not really ready for public playtesting and there are alot of bugs to exploit.

Oh man, many thanks for video! Too bad i little abbadoned this map, coz somehow this map compilation going FOREVER -) Maybe coz this was my almost first map and i did all buildings and windows, other stuff with new meshes every time That was wrong i guess) Nice video Like

Hello everyone, I am submitting my map named Hazard. It is a defuse map taking place at a research facility. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3278770509

Since the #1 playtest of the map it has seen some changes. The feedback and gameplay I've received helped me to change the layout of the A bomb site. As well to make some important changes to the map. The removal of the car repair shop. @Dredile Thanks once again for the support and feedback! The update list of 25.06.2024 - Worked on A bomb site. - Worked on A bomb site ceiling. - worked with light_barn + light_omni2 for the lighting of A bomb plant building. Stay safe and stay mapping! #MRTRN

Best of luck!

It's been a while since my last post here, but it's for a reason. I've been working on a lot. And I mean, a lot. I wasn't too happy with the direction the map was heading in, so I reworked a lot of the theme and layout, while keeping the core of it the same. A lot has changed, but it still is definitely the same map, just with a new direction that I am more satisfied with.

update came out a few days ago - was able to test it thanks to the Source Engine Discord. Have a few updates to make likely after a few days of being on the Mapcore hub tomorrow as well but overall it seems like there is something to the map which is exciting. Just need to polish mid, fix extremities fight timings and consider other feedback in the coming days to make the next version even better Steam Workshop::de_fore [WIP] (steamcommunity.com)

Fixed!

Hey there MrTrane I took a look at your map and played a few rounds vs bots. Here are some of my main takeaways for you to consider: CT and T spawn feel very close to each other. When I was playing on T side all the bots would regularly rush towards the fence and start combat within 5 seconds of the round starting. Buy zones were pretty tight and on T side I would regularly spawn outside of the buy zone. Plantable areas also felt pretty cramped at least on A site. The A site space felt pretty good though in size and options I like the mechanic shop theme there quite a bit. B site felt a bit unfairly close to T spawn. While playing as a T I could get to the bomb site in a few seconds and before the CTs. The middle area felt a bit empty and the map overall felt a bit small but the space mostly seems well utilized and dynamic enough for interesting engagements. Hope this feedback is useful for you and good luck with the map.

You do not need radgen

Hello my Brazilian friend. I am a source 2 lover living in China.I have played your map on steam workshop.It's great I think, really creative. Besides, i have a little suggestion.I think the connection between the sand and the stone on the ground in the CTspawn is a bit unnatural in your map.You can try blended texture(stones covered with sand) and see how it works. By the way,it seems that you are a Hilda fan judging from your avatar and you are using it of twig!(My English is limited and you may feel confused with my words) I will continue to subscribe to your map! Good luck for you!

Made few updates prior todays playtest. Tried to make apps a bit more comfortable to locate in. Minor fixes and additions here and there. Also applied custom dev textures to set on some meshes surface properties.

I've made a little showcase video of the map! But there is more, another guy made a showcase video of the map as well! Stay safe and stay mapping!

Just a couple more for tonight.

It was fun to try out this map and see what you can do with it! The current state alone brings such a cool vibe to the map! Made a showcase ( *or on Instagram post ) video! Hope it brings some motivation for you to go on! Best of luck!

Not only the rain is going hard! But the map it self! +REP!

They are low poly static props used with the spray tool. From what i had seen their impact on the fps is insignificant.(tested on a full server of 38 real players, before and after adding them). During the compilation they are automatically joined into a larger prop depending on the distance and área they are filling. The map (de_amalia) its on the workshop if you want to inspect it.

Fantastic. Nice work on it! I’m really looking forward to playing the game itself soon.

useless message.

Updated the blockout based on competitive/casual feedback. Put together a comparison video explaining the update in more detail if you're into that sort of thing. If you are interested in playtesting I've created a steam group, of course I'll also be requesting to playtest on Mapcore. Torch Playtest Group blockout2 timings Workshop Link
