About a week ago, me and Fulcrum, or mdeciever as he is known as on Facepunch, started a collaborative project. We started by drawing the map, poorly, and then I went in hammer and did a very very basic map of the drawing. A week passed, and I now have some semi-detailed buildings, and a fully textured and playable map. We decided to fully detail an ally with entities and so forth and show it to you, but only one screenshot of one alley, that is it. For now.

That's all you'll get for now, but we'll detail more and more sections of the map which we'll show to you, and in the end release. Criticism is most welcome too :)

[B]EDIT 3[/B]
After watching my map during nighttime I decided to keep it that way. It allows to me use lighting outside. Anyway, here you have re-captured images of the map from what you've seen thus far and a few new areas

[B]EDIT 4[/B]
I've added the last bombsite, first image shows the spot, and the industrial area. I would like to point out that when I add the 3d skybox this area will look a lot nicer and realistic in my opinion. Here's what I have for now

Now this image needs an explanation. I've used noclip to get to this point, so you will [B]not[/B] be able to see the nodraw surfaces in-game. I felt like this would you give you an overview of how the gameplay is supposed to go, and if you look closely you'll be able to see the very first alley we released an image of.

Turn on anti-aliasing for screenshots.

Pretty sure I have it on to be honest. I'll keep an eye out for that before I post the next screenshot :)

Max everything out for screenshots. If you have it on it's pretty low.

Give me a second, I'll go check my settings. I'd be surprised if it's not on full.
Edit 1: Yup, you're right it's not on. I'll take a new screenshot and upload that.
Edit 2: New pic is uploaded with all settings on high. Thanks for pointing that out :)
I cant exactly see what is going on in the screenshot and since there is only 1 I cant get the best general idea of how the map plays or what it even looks like.

I understand that, but the point of this is not for you to get a perspective of the entire map, yet. I'll post more pictures later, but for now I'd just like people to tell me how nice that ally looks :)
That's some sexy lighting.
How did you get the lighting like that, Jesus
Bump, added two new screenshots.
Looks pretty nice, IMO, especially that last screenshot.
Reminds me so much of that one level from BF3
Looks slightly citadel-y.
Thanks guys, replies like that warms my heart. Both me and mdeciever has put a lot of hours into this, so replies like that really means a lot to us.
We're super exited to show you the rest of the map, and we hope you're just as exited to see it! You've only seen a small fraction thus far ;)
Looks nice. Reminds me of bf3 campaign, thats a good thing :smile:
I can't wait to see the finished product. It's going to look beautiful.
Nice lightning, but it's way too dark in my opinion.
[QUOTE=Xyrec;35456692]Nice lightning, but it's way too dark in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
Don't worry, the current version is brighter.
I kinda like the darkness of the map, made it look real evening like. You should do two versions, one in the day, and one in the evening or even night, your lighting looks real good

That'll be easy to do :) Will do that once the map is finished.
Awesome, good luck!
Looks good, dont know what people find so awesome about the lighting but okay.
Would move the texture below the light on the second screen a bit, seems like the seam is exactly below the light.
I'm confused, if it's day time (as the sky suggests) why is it so dark and why are the street lights on?

Thanks for the feedback, though I can't seem to find said texture. Could you specify a bit more, or perhaps download the screenshot and draw a line to the texture? Thanks in advance.

Point taken... I'll talk to my partner and we'll figure something out :)

Well, it is an alley, and sometimes, depending on the sun angle, there's almost no light getting in, and the only light is light is ambient light. If it's like midday though, there should be at least SOME light getting in.

The screenshot has been darkened for effect, so it's lighter in-game. I do agree though, the alley should be brighter.

Please don't doctor the photos in future.... We're trying to critique your mapping not your potatochop skillz.

It is actually darkened in hammer, not in some photoshop thingy... I'm horrible at editing images :S But I get your point.

... Darkened in hammer?
The way you said it made it look like you'd taken the screenshot then darkened it.

Nah, I decreased the brightness of my light_environment, so the last pictures matched the first one. I am horrible at image editing, trust me xD
