Hello mapcore!

This is my first post here and I just wanted to share a map I've been working on for a week!

Can't play it atm, but looking at the screenshots I'd say that's a mighty strange choice of texture for the ground outside! I'd expect some sort of concrete or tarmac rather than rough rocky terrain in the middle of a city.

Thats true text_fish! I was thinking about changing the skybox to mountains actually.

sorry, but that doesn't make your choice of texture any better.

Yeah thats true. I just liked the rock texture and stuck with it. But it's true it doesn't make much sense now when I think about it. Thanks for the input and I'm gonna see if I can find a better fitting texture.

[Baggle!]

you should change the groud texture to some sort of concrete or tarmac blend and maybe a few more lights inside. apart form that it looks pretty good

Lose the skybox, replace it with a better one and add some real buildings outside the map to make it feel more real.

also lighting, right now it's flat and boring, check how the official maps got it set up.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm gonna look into it this week and update my map.

I still think the light needs to be... at least doubled. It's going to create lots of dark corners people will lurk in, and your map looks like it has a lot of corners. Speaking of gameplay, the scale seems to be on the large side of things, especially bombsite A and the marathon for Ts to get there.

 

I feel you're relying too heavily on props to create flow in your map, and it should be more about brushwork. Also, have you used any references photography for breweries? They're very clean, sterile environments and fairly self contained where as this sprawls out a bit and lacks large copper fermentation tanks. May I suggest the Heineken brewery in Amsterdam for reference? It's an old brewery, but it's a tourist destination so plenty of images inside and out will be available.

 

Alternatively, you could change the name if a huge theme overhaul isn't something you want to do.
