[CS GO] de_medieval (wip)

[JediX]

Hi,

 

I have recently started playing CS Go and decided I would create my own map. I found some excellent tutorials on worldofleveldesign.com and they helped me to first plan then block out my map.

 

I wanted to go for a medieval theme having grown up in a town that has a lot of medieval architecture that I could call upon easily for reference such as building, arches and bridges. I also wanted the map to feature a range of combat styles from long range to close quarters. I have tried to incorporate these aspects into my map.

 

I have blocked out the buildings for the map but still need to add the placement of object such as crates and barrels; stuff that can be used to create cover and block off long range sniping shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The map file is attached if anyone is interested in giving it a go. All feedback is appreciated. 

Cheers

Spent a few hours after work doing a little art test to get a better feel for the style of the map and to gauge how long it will take to build each building. A bit naughty as I know I should be working on getting the layout completed first but happy with the results.

Looks amazing. The layout looks awesome and the concept is super cool.

Cool concept, I really like this house, beautiful work.

I can see the whole village coming alive like that

Layout seems simple (in a good way!) and fun. Don't hesitate to request a playtest

Instead of doing all the beam extruded in brush, you should consider making them in full new textures.

 

I can lead you to my birth city called DInan wich is a medieval city.

Monschau (small German town) is also a good place to look for reference

Thanks for the reference materials. Europe certainly has a great heritage and beautiful architecture. I am from Stratford Upon Avon in the UK, better known as Shakespeare country! I thought Stratford was nice but these are beautiful places!!

I am going to try and get a more finalised layout before I really get into constructing this Medieval town. 

 

Also 3Dnj, I think I will create some of my own textures with the wooden beams. This will significantly speed up the process especially for the lesser important surrounding background buildings.

Really like the quick ability you have for throwing your ideas together! Cant wait to see this completed.

A quick update-

 

• Made a few alterations to the layout but still needs more work.
• Dressed up a couple more buildings.
• Thinking about changing the name of the map to "de_olde".
