I like the theme!, very original and fresh. Only one thing that bothered me are those bulletproof bushes near bombsite A
Adding animals that run off scared or swimming fish in the tanks would be the icing on the cake.

Maybe sloths? they are not so hard to animate

Last screenshot feels like Miami

 

Very relaxing

It looks great!

 

I think a dedicated artist would help take this one to the next level.

Looks really nice. Though giving it an abandoned style might work better because of the missing animals.

Looks sweet, can't wait to try it! Are you making new animal assets, or will it just be a fish and chicken zoo?

 

I wish it would be possible to somehow put more animals in the zoo, but I'm afraid it's just gonna be fish  I'm always open for cool ideas on how to implement them properly though

 

I'd rely on sounds, maybe put some cages in a place that you can't access(but can see them) and add some lion roars or some crazy birds in the background.. I think it would make a pretty unique atmosphere

 

Yup, animal sounds will definately be in to help creating atmosphere!

Bulletproof bushes have been fixed now, might still need some finetuning, but I'll see after next playtest.

Some aquariums have a few fishes in them at the moment (func_fishpool), but it seems they sometimes get buggy when playing online (fishes swimming out of the aquarium). Custom animated fish/animals would really be awesome

Definately! If there's a dedicated artist out there that is willing to help out, don't hesitate to contact me

True, just wanted to make a map in a more modern setting after Ali

 

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions!

Time for some new pictures I'm happy to say Yanzl is helping me out with models and textures and so far he's made an incredible amount of great stuff already!

 

No zoo is complete without its own name, so I'm open for any suggestions.

I want to see that waterpool in B to break by bomb explosition and flood the water out.. 

For my eyes the A site doesn't have enough cover.

Anyway, great project! Waiting for beta testing

This is looking great! I don't think the spray paint decals make much sense on the sand, maybe add some planks or something with the decals on them instead. I think some fine detail wouldn't go amiss in the human-occupied areas as well (litter and whatnot) but that's a really minor thing and perhaps a stylistic decision that may conflict with your goals, depending on if you want a cleaner look for the map overall. Can't say much else really except that I want to play it

Not sure if you suggested that jokingly, but I kinda like it

Source engine gives enough problems with water as it is, so flooding water is not even on my mind

 

A site has been like this more or less during at least 2 playtests and people liked it then, but we'll see how future playtests go. I'm hoping to do a playtest in the next 5 days!

You're right about the decals. I'll try to come up with something more plausible. No areas are 100% finished, so smaller details will be added

Maybe the litter and such is not needed. If Squad make it look like a new build zoo, it would also explain why there aren't any animals

[mr.P]

looks elegant!

[cashed]

the skybox kind of reminds me of the bay area. with san francisco in the background.

 

Bay Area Zoo?

[Squad]

That calls for a Golden Gate bridge somewhere  

 

Thanks for the name suggestion!
