[WIP] de_zansort

[DutchCrazyGamer]

Ok. I decided to participate in this contest but there might be a chance i won't finish it because of school. Anyway, the map is set in a fictional resort on the island of Zanzibar. Just like almost everyone i made a moodboard. (Some pictures are from a resort i visited once). I have some experience with hammer(a year now) and i recently started with modeling. If you like this idea and want to team up just send me a PM.

Ok small update of the map. I have started with my greybox. (No full layout yet, i think i will make the area's one by one)

This will be T-spawn

clarification of the spawn zones

I don't know how I feel about this map. This is way to complex, and should be simplified. But I would just reccomend simply starting again. You still have time. Make your decesion now.

For me,  i think the top part is the main problem. I will probably simplify most of those paths above and playtest it. Starting again for now seems like a drastic option. But thanks for you input.

Here you can you see the new version of the radar:

Something about the lighting just makes me feel so relaxed. I love the greybox too!

[ynel]

The lightning is so cool. But, at this stage, it looks a bit open. I Hope it will change!

Yeah i already did a community playtest and found out that all the entrances are to wide. Also some area's will be a bit smaller.

[ynel]

Also, the lights on the walls, will look cooler, if they weren't so bright. Or just make them a bit more further away from the wall.

Ok after some time being away i made some small progress again. Below here you can see some screenshots of the results. 

[DutchCrazyGamer]

Since my playtest on august the 14th i made some big changes. This mostly include cutting sightlines and adding some more cover. (workshop is not 100% up to date)

 I would move the sun a bit higher in the sky, the maps walls are creating very large shadows.

[DutchCrazyGamer]

After school has started i finally had some time to make some progress again. I am still looking for a teammate who could help me with some 3d models ,textures and has some good ideas to improve the gameplay of the map. Anyway here are some screenshots of recent changes.

Looking forward to this one! Really liked the adjustments to the layout and theme!
