ITT: Post maps/scenes that never saw the light of the day.

I tried to make an open world RP map like GTA 5 for Garry's mod

And I wasted my time

A little more effort in detailing and structuring. Everything seems so repetitive, but I think that is like pointing the obvious.

Remake of DM-plunge. It was first payed work, but the coder skimped out and the project fell apart. I'll likely finish it when I'm done my current work:

 

It's much darker than it should be, but that's an easy fix.

Isn't that DM-Morpheus?

The two maps are very close, I'll admit, but the lighting is much different in DM-Plunge

Your work is really impressive

Maybe one day I'll actually turn these into something? I occasionally work on these sort of scenes for CS:GO but I'm terrible at making layouts so I usually just detail little areas to look nice and move on.

you need to find a gameplay guy to collaborate with there's a lot of people on here that are the inverse of you- like doing layouts but suck at detailing.

This is some fine architecture there ; it's a shame to see them go to "waste" and not see the light of day in a playable map.

Creating a perfectly balanced layout that pleases everyone is hard but it's not rocket science either. It's just a matter of practice:

You'll have to learn the basics of competitive gameplay, check previous works of other designers to see what works and what doesn't and check some videos of pro-players in recent CSGO tournaments to track their movements and see how they use the environment to give you an idea what to design and place in your map.

Lastly you can read some articles on map design and competitive play; here are some examples:

• Volcano's article on de_train http://volcanotv.tumblr.com/post/62955137808/design-philosophy-detrainve#_=_
• FMPONE article on cs_museum https://www.mapcore.org/articles/development/making-a-map-cs_museum-r25/
• Rick/Puddy article on making cs_agency https://www.mapcore.org/articles/development/making-agency-the-popular-csgo-map-r62/
• My own article on trade-off in competitive map design http://gamebanana.com/articles/36

Once you have a playable layout, Mapcore's playtest server is the way to go where most of the layout flaws will be pinpointed before you dig deeper in the detailing and art pass phase.

Another solution is to team up with another designer where he takes care of the layout and balancing and you unleash your creativity on the art and detailing...profit?

Best of luck and hope to really see those streets in a playable map soon.

Snab, Cruptor and I are making another Hunger Games map for CSGO. Requesting feedback for improvement.

ignore the giant concrete block to the right.

emphasis on "ignore"

This scene looks similar to a map in the previous operation. I don't see why you haven't worked them into something already, it looks great!
