Hey man, I love the work you're doing on this, the entire map is very clearly a labor of love! Maybe be careful though, with how many details you add. When I ran around the map I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of props everywhere, even in what seemed to be key gameplay areas. I found some parts to be visually confusing (many different patterns, shapes and colors in close proximity) and sometimes would even get stuck on props. 
Maybe focus your use of props more on individual hero props (like your awesome skybox balloons) to provide the atmosphere and focal points for entire areas. Because while your current approach might be more true to life, it is possibly not the best for gameplay. 
Congrats on the honorable mention and I hope you keep working on Cappadocia :)!

Thank you for feedbacks. The main cause of visual confusing  is due to the theme. Because real Cappadocia include "TOO MUCH" things and I thought a lot about how I could simplify. (Just Turkish Bathroom not suitable for this theme.) And as I understand from the feedback I got, it's still very complicated. I sharing my reference about hotel design and rescue zone     Referance hotel Google maps link   Referance hotel link 2

Referance Rescue Zone Google Maps

In conclusion I fixing all  problem based on feedbacks and I already working next update. 

Note: My all maps is my babies. Everytime i will working my maps  :)

    • [CS:GO] Shore
      One of the projects I worked on after I made de_austria.

      Yeah, I know the timing is really bad (CS2!), but can't change it... 🙁

      In general a lot went wrong during this project. Had a lot of problems with the layout, but I think I found a good compromise in the end. Also learned many new things. Maybe I would even be ready to create a really good map now after all, but I think that it's gonna be the final one. I really like making maps, but it has become too time consuming over the years for just being a hobby. Unfortunately I never managed to get a job in the games industry. So that's it. I hope it's a worthy ending of 20 years of making maps for me. 🙂

      Shore is a bomb defusal map for CS:GO that takes place on Lofoten Islands, Norway. (Also have a Hostage version of this that works well imo)

      Workshop link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2955084102

      I took some inspiration from this place in Norway:
