Hi! I wanted to work on a hostage map for a while before the contest but i didnt have anything concrete in mind. About a week ago i came up with a snowy ski resort theme, then later on I added thermal pools. I was inspired by Himmelmatt expo from MWII for those. Wanted to have distinctive but also thematically cohesive areas so i started getting references very early on to get a feel for what i can do with the theme. The map looked very different at the start of the week actually, i ran the first version by G3om and he gave me a lot of valuable feedback so throughout the week i reworked the hotel building to be bigger and more interesting around the hostage. Then i shuffled mid around and redid the pathing in the spa/pool building. Really enjoyed the process of building the map and how it came together, got it playtested today and the map felt pretty solid in my opinion. Still have to run it on mapcore tho. Here are some before and after images of the maps very first version and the workshop version. Check it out on the workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221491619.
