Reason to take part in this contest? Well... I'd like get familiar with S2 (Yup, I'm still plugging away in S1 H++) another reason is finishing a project, I'm hoping some of you can relate to unfinished maps we have collecting digital dust or being reworked on an infinite loop ().

Updates:

Spoiler

4/22/2024 - Created a layout this weekend but it's still a bit early to share, will look to continue updating this thread next weekend

4/29/2024 - Updated the layout this weekend and continuing to balance each area, will need to take a couple more weekends to make sure the layout is fun and everything looks like a sloppy mess  

5/6/2024 - Mid and A are set, working on B next

5/12/2024 - No updates / Out of town

6/2/2024 - Life things until end of June!

6/8/2024 - Hard reset...

7/6/2024 - Earliest version of the current blockout is playable! (racing to the deadline / screenshots soon)

7/28/2024 - Last official save in Source 1 / Hammer++ (<3) before moving to Source 2

7/31/2024 -  Source2 port is on the workshop and playable

8/4/2024 - Updated pathing for T Spawn to Mid, Updated pathing from T Spawn to A including the underpass between A and B staging areas

8/10/2024 - Added a radar! Huge shout out to JimWood for the work on RadGen and the documentation, and Sami / Eagle One Dev Team for putting together the tutorial. Replaced majority of the map with new meshes. Added a 3D Skybox placeholder. Efforts continue on cleaning up the geometry, there's a few areas left to be cleaned up and an optimization pass still needs to be done.

Ah, I picked a very similar theme, also playing partly on a racetrack but in a desert setting. Will have an eye on this one definately, good luck and have fun!

First public version of the map is up so here are some screenshots! Just switched over to Source 2 a couple of weekends ago so there's Source 1 brush work, optimization is missing and I haven't looked into making a radar yet. The important part is that it's playable and I'm taking care of as many bugs as possible before the first deadline. Good luck everyone!
