Sol is a defusal map set in a historic area in Cusco, Peru
Team: @Kokopelli @SethTooQuick @Lefty

The goal was to create a really convincing space following CS design principles. Players will fight through winding streets and iconic landmarks, such as the great Cusco Cathedral.

Mood Board of overarching theme:

Awesome!

The castle and everything else looks so nice! I’ve recently played games consisting of capturing them, you know? The concept of the map design and idea as well, follows narrow streets leading that you control, at least the main ones, to some degree squared battle areas, right? I can see how the end result of this project will be wild!
Best of luck in the judging process!

Update before the end of stage 1. Soundscapes and lighting improvements have been added to Sol. The Cathedral received the most attention with now moody lighting and accent lights. Other areas and interiors got small detail changes and lighting as well. Best of luck to everyone!

Newest version of Sol now on the workshop: Link here <<

Gameplay/Layout received minor tweaks and a player clipping pass throughout the map, ensuring a smoother experience. This version of Sol was made ready for the Mapcore Hub. Currently running now from the 15th - 29th, don't miss out!

Tspawn, middle road and bombsite B cathedral have gone through it's first art pass. We're happy with the outcome of the playtests so far and the direction we are taking Sol. The cathedral is being worked on by @SethTooQuick Defiantly expect more to come!

Concept Art for bombsite A; along with a mascot of sorts:
