Guest Posted April 20, 2024 Report Posted April 20, 2024 (edited) Hi all, So my true mapping adventures begin in cs2! I have just under 400 hours in the csgo sdk, but I never managed to fully complete a map, so my main goal with this project will be to get one done in grey-box and then see where I go from there. For a long time I have been looking for an exciting theme for a map - both aesthetically pleasing but also with room for lots of ideas and experimentation. Having once been fond of the map de_Canals, I settled on a canal city theme, and after some research I decided that the perfect place to base my map theme around was Annecy in France. A picturesque river running through the old town, a mix of cramped market squares and bustling streets with large open spaces, all overlooked by an impressive castle. I will share an update once I have completed a first itteration of the layout but for now here are some pictures which are sources of inspiration: Spoiler Roman Boed from The Netherlands, CC BY 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons Markus Trienke, CC BY-SA 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0>, via Wikimedia Commons Chrisgg382000, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons Yves LC, CC BY-SA 3.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons Dmitry A.
