Just completed the first 5v5 on it with a bunch of friends and gathered tons of feedback.  Overall it was a success with fairly fast rounds and a good amount of options and variation. We had mixed rankes from silvers to a global but everyone picked up the layout quickly.

Another player streamed their POV if anyone wants to see some raw and scrappy gameplay. Lots of changes incoming so stay tuned.

This feedback is just from running around the map, but it seems pretty good, with a good variety of areas. This is more of a personal preference, but I would like to see a larger rescue zone (or even two rescue zones :O), similar to maps like concert. I feel like this increases options for CTs after reaching the hostage.

A few minor things, I hope that tiny fence at the area looking down to the bridge isn't going to be the basis for the actual barrier, especially since the exact same barrier is able to be jumped over at CT spawn. Also, just so you know, you can actually use the hostage to jump up that one way drop if it spawns next to it.

Without a playtest, I can't really give a ton of feedback, but it's looking really good so far :D

Thank you both for taking the time to lookaround. The hostage rescue zone should be seeing some adjustments and some path widening soon which I hope will address yoiur concerns in that regard. Your other points are all spot on and will be fixed in the next update. Thanks again for the interest and helpful feedback. :)

It has been quite a while since I have posted an update so here is some information on where I have been. A bunch of real-world factors from starting a new job to losing part of my vision resulted in my progress stalling but I am happy to report I am back to working on Ivory.

I am still trying to develop a visual style I am happy with and getting the lighting right which is proving a challenge as I am new to making night maps. This was another one of my goals with this project in pushing myself to try something outside my comfort zone; I just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can thew. I am aware working alone means I have an extra layer of difficulty compared to some of the other entries but I believe I can still produce a fun and well designed final product. Hopefully, I can have a version ready for the deadline, finishing at all will be an achievement I can be proud of but a top 10 spot would be even more amazing!

Finally thank you to everyone who has asked me about Ivory and shown an interest in Ivory, either here or in private messages. Your support really helps me find the motivation to continue working.

Progress continues! Everything is still a work in progress but I can feel the progress in every compile. I have adjusted the sky a lot and am still fine-tuning the colours. The map is now a lot greener overall to break up al the orange rock and wood. The interiors are also developing but I still have a way to go in selling an African feel to them. As always, comments and constructive criticism are much appreciated!

How did you get a custom hostage model to work?

ZooL wrote a few scripts for me to get it to work. I would talk to him about it for more information.
