What I'm Working On

I think the left hand site is a little too  open for a retake/defuse

 

 

Early days obviously

This topic needs new name -2015 Also are you aware of little balance idea that /r/globaloffensive made to de_cache? http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2r1v2d/a_way_to_make_de_cache_a_little_less_ctsided/

Retaking this bombsite is easy, that's true. That's intentional though, the B bombsite is easier to take for Terrorists and easier to retake for CT's, the A bombsite is harder to take for Terrorists and harder for CT's to retake.

Next project is based in Santorini, Greece.

 

 

Layout is here if you'd like to try it out:

There's also another project that will remain hush hush for now

 

 

Cool, I've just been there in October. Let me know if you need somebody to tell you that the level's alleys are still too wide and there are not enough stairs and donkeys to match the real Santorini experience.

 

 

How about, did you take any high resolution photographs? ;p

 

 

I did! But most of them have my ugly mug on display so I'm afraid they won't be of much help

[Mvllsk]

There are plenty of great photographs of Santorini on the internet, sure.
But if you need some more inspiration, I recommend you check out "Art Of Motion Santorini" on youtube.
There are annual free runner championships and those guys do run across the roof tops, etc. a lot so you can find great close ups of the architecture in those videos.

 

Here is a great example:

It's all I could add since I'm still at work and can't go in-game to check the layout. :'U

[FMPONE]

OK! Here are the first screenshots of DE_SANTORINI. 

 

 

For this level, I'm trying to purely map "tones", until I'm ready to add in actual textures. The tones allow me to control for contrast without being overwhelmed by the need to balance specific colors within a scene. This also allows me to understand the types of props I need in an area without being biased by color preferences beforehand. This means I'm building a lot of geometry in place of meshes, for the time being, and the meshes will be added later by a talented artist named Dimitri, recommended by none other than Kikette

 

Remember -- if you want to see how the map layout plays, you can do so right now:

The .bsp you've just linked to, is that the one in the screenshots or the initial greybox?

It's the initial greybox, the one I'm working on is in heavy construction so it isn't playable

[Spherix]

Don't bother texturing. This is sexy.

[soultron]

Downloaded, I will try to find some time to check out the greybox today.
