[CS:GO] Shore
Radix posted a topic in Level Design,
One of the projects I worked on after I made de_austria.
Yeah, I know the timing is really bad (CS2!), but can't change it... 🙁
In general a lot went wrong during this project. Had a lot of problems with the layout, but I think I found a good compromise in the end. Also learned many new things. Maybe I would even be ready to create a really good map now after all, but I think that it's gonna be the final one. I really like making maps, but it has become too time consuming over the years for just being a hobby. Unfortunately I never managed to get a job in the games industry. So that's it. I hope it's a worthy ending of 20 years of making maps for me. 🙂
Shore is a bomb defusal map for CS:GO that takes place on Lofoten Islands, Norway. (Also have a Hostage version of this that works well imo)

Maginot [Wingman]
Edude posted a topic in Level Design,
Hello everybody!
I'm creating a map (based on the Maginot Line) for the Wingman's Contest - provided by Source Engine's Discord.
I started the map 3 weeks ago and I'm on the detailing phase, slowly progreeding area by area, worried with the time left. I decided to follow this strategy: detail 75% of every area and after that (and gaining some time) I'd put some final touches + polishment + optimization.
I wonder, should I keep doing it in a hurry or is it better to make it with no rush and patience (losing the deadline)? There's still a lot to do and I'd like to hear your opinions...

Two new asset releases!
First up is Basalt. Sadly I can't release all of the assets as some of the nature stuff is from Megascans and can't be redistributed. Also only includes the assets I've made.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e86kdqwpvhhs5x6/Basalt.zip?dl=0
Second one is assets I've made for Pitstop. A small release that includes some road and concrete trim textures, a bunch of sponsors and some skybox buildings that might be useful.

I've release the project on the ue4's Marketplace. LINK
There's also a playable demo that you can check out here: DEMO
This was my most time consuming project that I've started back in 2018, but then scrapped and returned to it in 2021.
It took about 8 months to complete and was a great learning experience for me.

Two years ago BubkeZ and RZL came to me and asked if I wanted to work with them on a layout BubkeZ created in 2010 for CS 1.6 called de_engage and obviously I said yes.
The three of us then started to look at this old layout and discussed what needed to change to make it viable for CS:GO and improve on the original design.
The result:
