[WIP] Marine

[SUMOSUPREME]

So this contest started at a really good time, which is I decided to finally put this layout into hammer after 3 years of sitting on the basic idea. I started working on blocking it out around the time the contest was announced, and completed the layout/uploaded to the workshop on the 7th

I have absolutely no references besides an image in my head which I really want to stick to, which is an awful idea *but* I'm gonna try it lmao

The fundamentals is that it is a Marine Research Center out in the Gulf of Mexico, kinda like an oil rig but not oil and instead fishies bc fishies are awesome

It's been out on the workshop for a couple days now, you can find it at this link. Screenshots can be found there bc i dont wanna spam images here. updates are to come based off of feedback

and then heres the radar lmao

i think i've got the layout itself down to a point where detailing should probably be my next concern because the layout is practically finished i think, biggest changes i would probably be making would be cover adjustments and model replacements (when it comes to that idk)

this has definitely been fun for a first map thing i guess

[SUMOSUPREME]

kinda big update

not too many layout changes, but the biggest change that i forgot to mention is that the fish move now

[SUMOSUPREME]

another update after another playtest (thanks to se disc)

not a lot but that is a good thing right

almost done with initial stages of testing yote

heres the radar as well
