[WIP] De_selva

[Quotingmc]

These are some early screenshots from a map currently being developed for the mapcore mapping contest. A lot is subject to change after playtesting. We are currently looking for any kind of feedback.

Before I go ahead, give your map a name.

"A NEW UNIQUE DEFUSE MAP FOR 99$" "New defuse map Im working" "super early defuse" is not what gets the interest, and it also floods the section.

You also posted preview screenshots and not overview, so that's the only thing I can judge.

It looks too much like de_log, in my opinion.

Log? I have played it for 5 minutes in deathmatch and I see no similarities. Log also doesn't own exclusive rights to maps based on jungle centralised industries on the continent of south America either.

​We do appreciate the criticism and have decided on a name for the project. An overview image will be available soon. As this is a WIP, like many of the threads in this "flooded" forum, our layout design is often taking a slightly different direction.

Sorry but it doesn't look like log...no map looks like log lol.

Again thanks for your feedback, and please do critique the final map.

Just making sure you are heading in the right direction, don't take it as a bad feedback.

Fun fact, I was working on a map with exactly the same name (de_selva) and exactly the same idea back in early 2014, here's some pics for ya. If you want feel free to PM me, I'll send you the VMF so you can use it to improve your own map since I scrapped the idea.

​I may just have to pinch the chicken idea and may I ask where that plane prop is from?

[TheGuma]

The plane is a custom model 

The collision box for the chicken cage model is not hollow so you have to disable collisions on the prop and add clipping brushes instead. This is so you could place the chicken inside (that is of course if you want to do the chicken in a cage thingy).

​Is the model available for download or is it one of your private pieces?

First start on Bombsite A, more to follow.

Awesome map man! Great job I really like the feel of the map, only problem maybe the sound of the chopper being there always for the CT it gets old fast but I really loved the ice floes and the water  o . O that was cool, plus the plants and environments are really nice!

Incase others are wondering, the steam workshop link is:  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=458203434

THIS LINK NO LONGER WORKS!

Thanks for the feedback.

unfortunatly the ice is going to be replaced to fit the jungle theme and we have very special plans for the chopper in the future.

Map looks nice and clean. I look forward to trying this out.

But come on guys, sort out the OP. Let's have a workshop link and an annotated cl_leveloverview shot (no matter how rough) and a few more screenshots!

I am having issues contacting the map owner. He hasn't been online and he has the latest version of the map. As soon as we can we will have it up.

[Mac]

Sorry guys i didn't realize anyone was waiting for updates.

EDIT - Here is an updated workshop link, including a temporary minimap. I'm sure my partner in crime will edit the OP when he logs in. Thanks!
