Abbey

[Lizard]

Hello.
Me and @Thewhaleman are working on a de_ map set in french monastery somewhere in the south part of france.
I decided that this is a good time to post some progress. We should have working layout by the end of the next week.


Goal:
The goal is to include variety of possibilities for players to play the map with huge diversity of equipment. This includes tight areas designed for CQB style as well as few long sightlines to encourage use of sniper rifles.

Bonus:

I did small scene (supposed to be T's spawn area) for whaleman to work on the art style a little bit)

Wait and you will see

Really nice theme, and can easily be pulled off within the time frame because of all the bold structures. Stock content could also take the map a long way, and still keep the map looking very different to official maps.

Really like the carefully crafted trims on the floor where the sidewalk ends, and the wall. Usually you should only make trese details at the end, but somehow it really makes the scene less gamey to me, good shit man.

ALso, it's lacking a color pop it feels like, deffo introduce those purple bushes somewhere for juxtaposition in color.

I used to see this in an advert and I always thought it'd be brilliant for a CS map/skybox! Glad someone's making it happen. Where in France is it?

Thanks! Like I said it's more like a test scene to work with textures, props and colors. Also It's better for me to work on the lighting this way

We are aiming between cobble and inferno theme wise. It might be hard to pull off but definitely worth of try!

Awesome! This is looking great already!

As it's been said by Baboon seems a perfect fit for the contest because of the theme, should make it easier to get to the deadlines.

Looking forward to updates.

Good luck!

Increase the saturation on the roof tiles too to give it a bit more colour. Overall it looks like it's got some kind of desaturation filter on top of everything. It'd be nicer if the sun was a bit brighter, the sky were bluer, and the grass/foliage much greener.

Nice work

Working workshop version of _001 is here: link

I'm aware of few things and they will be fixed before first playtest
 

[Lizard]

Hello, it's me ... 
I updated the workshop link today with the newest version. I felt like the old layout that I had was not interesting and I decided to remake it. Here are some new screenshots.

Layout itself:

T's route to A bombsite:

Mid (view from CT side):

T's setup area outside of B bombsite:

Also I started to stream from time to time while working on Abbey. If you guys want to talk about level design while looking at my dog through Doggo Cam™, make sure you follow me on twitter and twitch.
Regards !

I keep glitching out on the displacement to the right of CT spawn.

The nav mesh needs updating.

One of the two windows in A does not break (the one you blocked off on the other side).

Their post is 3-4 months old. I'd certainly hope it would have been updated by now.

- Additionally, NAV is usually one of the last things edited as maps constantly change. It would be chaos to keep re-editing the file every map version.

Hello everyone!
Time to post some screenshots

Still few crucial  pieces are missing but we are looking to run a playtest in next week to get the last piece of feedback.

Regards!
