Hey everyone!
I’m Flo and I joined @Lizard and @Radu as a 3D Environment Artist on Grail. In the last few months we’ve made big progress on the Art as well as some Level Design changes. First of all, we shipped a new version of de_grail that you can check out on the workshop HERE as well as play until Friday in this week’s Faceit rotation.
We’ve started replacing the blockout with still WIP Environment Art on T spawn reaching onto the shoreside as well as placing the first few buildings in the Town Center. There’re also some Level Design changes on the left side of T Spawn coming onto the Ruined Tower.
In some parts you can already see the clash of styles which is intended. The overall theme is a stylized, fake plastic like, mini golf course environment. In a few areas you’ll stumble into the maintenance rooms which have a complete shift in style as these are bare industrial look without anything artificially altered to please the visitors. I hope you’ll like the contrast but feel free to give any feedback as I’m still fiddling around with the stylized textures to make them work for CS (mainly adding similar noise/sharpness like the stock industrial CS textures).
Anyway have fun exploring the map and good luck to everyone else in the contest!
