It's a little Off-topic but is Terragen still a thing? Last I checked the newest versions output amazingly realistic results I agree that the CS community won't accept a Bloodborne-like skybox, but variation is nice. I remember one of my favorite things to do back in CS 1.6 was to look at the different skyboxes - anyone remembers the skies for 3d-mike's maps, de_laguna etc? Having a beautiful and unique skybox will go a long way to make a map stand-out. If Terragen doesn't work, I'm sure there's a way to convert skies from cgskies to Source format (wouldn't be too hard to set something like this in a modelling program, just place a sphere and turn the camera around to take the screenshots). -- Edit

Perhaps you should consider moving somewhere else. At least on the places I've lived (and visited), the sky has an almost infinite range of colors

Very solid blockout, I think you got a winner here I hope that in the final version you play a bit with lighting. Every CS map I see these days has the exact same lighting, the sky is blue, the sun light is a pale yellow, and the interiors look full bright. Would be nice to get some contrasts here and there (of course making sure not to destroy gameplay), or a more interesting sun angle.

A few months back I had a huge craving for F1, and this series on Netflix kind of satisfied that. I always wondered what the hell was going on before or after the races (since on TV they only showed the actual races), and this gives a very intimate look into the pilots and the day to day paddock life.

I used to ages ago, but it's hard to watch here in the west coast, the times suck!

Nexus is real. He's been producing music on youtube for years, and has an active twitter channel.

Games with janky animations usually have good gameplay, so I'm ok with that

I noticed how the city feels empty in the gameplay videos too. Hopefully it's just a matter of optimization so they can spawn more NPCs and vehicles later on in the development

Found a stash of old Insurgency mod screenshots! Lots of mapcorians worked on this (I can spot @Steppenwolf , @Erratic , @Pericolos0, @Evert, @Xanthi, @Jonny Phive... and I'm sure I'm missing some!) http://thiagoklafke.com/misc/maps/source/Insurgency/ This one is dedicated to @st0lve:

Oh man I remember seeing that on Polycount ages ago! Completely forgot it existed ?

CJ~~ Looks pretty cool man

@knj

It looks pretty cool Lizard! Just make whatever you are happy with, it's your own world and your own imagination

Damn that thing looks huge ?

Cool progress! I've worked with both grid styles (multiples of ten or powers of two), and I prefer powers of two, because it breaks down nicely: 8 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 0.5 - 0.25 - 0.125 Whereas with 5, you get a lot of broken numbers: 5 - 2.5 - 1.25 - 0.625 etc...

The legend himself. I ran into him at the Street League in LA a few years back, super cool guy

oh man, I played the shit out of that on an emulator back then. I was pro at the game with the keyboard This really reminds me that if the basic gameplay/controls of the game is fun, the rest all falls into place.

Blast from the past! I took some time to make a trailer for this, was lots of fun to edit Fun fact: The logo animation was made in Unity by my friend Roger Sodre (creator of cs_rio). And the logo was designed by @Thurnip Gumroad DL: www.gumroad.com/unreal4environments Cubebrush DL: www.cubebrush.co/thiagoklafke

Been playing some Animal Crossing here and there, so damn relaxing~ My favorite activity is to wake up Blathers

A Short Hike is amazing, really inspiring game made by one dude! He gave a great GDC talk this year:

Sounds like every other Final Fantasy I'm really tempted to get this, especially for the art, but I won't have time to play it

I'll go with a Nanica Smitch next generation!

How is she doing?

Incredible initiative, well done!
