currently in blockout, waiting for a response from catfood to confirm he's working on the map

Maybe he will start working on it after the release of Ruby.

It was a cool idea for the theme but I think the layout had some problems.

Hello Mapcore!
Thanks for checking out the progress so far

Excited to announce that Kaizen is being developed by Jakuza and myself

Besides a couple tile textures and some early proxies (brushes [no pun intended] off shoulders) Jakuza made most of the content so if you think it's terrible please msg him directly (thank you)

All jokes aside Kaizen is currently in development and we would love to share some of progress so far. We're diving knees first into the deadline

Workshop link coming soon!

Looks like the 'original' again with a tonne of improvements. I dig! that better not be a vent though

I didn't play the original, but reminds me a lot to the custom map placed in tokio for LFD2. 
What worries me is the visibility of the CT models, which are darker.

Congratulations for your work over all.

I would say with the roads being so dark, you will have some visibility problems.

Looks great! Love the clean Japanese style.

I of course gave a like to the screens, very good work here.

At a second inspection, and after considering other’s comments regarding the darkness, I realised that what feels weird is what it feels as total lack of lampposts. At close inspection I can see you have some in there, but the lighting is very same-y across the board. It makes it look very aseptic and fake. I feel you need many more lights placed at player level/illuminating main paths, atm seems there’s environmental lights and floor level lights. Yes there are some lights on top of doors and other player-level elements, but they are out on the side. I would like a stronger accent on lights that illuminate paths vs end lights, less bright and different hue the latter with some spotlights highlighting “hero” buildings.

Not sure if you are planning to give a decal and prop pass to make it look much more dirty, cos like I said seems too clean.

I like it alot. I think CS needs a better range of maps - daylight through to night. Hope you pull it off
