[QUOTE=Saint Lombax;50346618]The Mayann Project is a community developed project which focuses on making content for TF2 around the Jungle/Mayan theme. ~JPRAS
Hey m8 i got question Me and my friend we made this raptor set for mayan update. You told to make items in mayan or jungle theame and we push ouer set much in jungle theme. Idk why this dont fit because its not much mayan? so why in mayan colection i can find like heavy hawai shirt? I think this set should be added to collection and community will pick up best one right? Lets give same chances to everyone.
Bdw you can find some infos about dinos in mayan culture. True or not idk set look cool people like it we point much in jungle theme so lets see how this go.
Thx for evrything :)[/QUOTE]
Because no one associates dinosaurs with either the Mayans or with jungles. I agree that the Heavy Hawaiian shirt isn't really on-theme (and you're free to downvote it if you feel the same), but at least it almost works with the "explorer" part of the theme. Dinosaur cosplay is way too far off-base.

Yeah they wanted me to make promos to rebrand it for Mayann Project + recolor the Blu version.
I've seen dinosaurs associated with Mayas before, I even asked some friends and a few agreed, but it seems most people don't agree.
I won't fight it, I'm going with the majority so I took the items down.

You guys are spoilsports, dinosaurs are cool
Isn't the association here with the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_World_(Conan_Doyle_novel)]Lost World[/url], where there's a secluded plateau in the Amazon where dinosaurs still live? Nothing with Mayas, but definitely to do with exploration and South America.

Well you can clearly see in the workshop that a lot of people made adventure/warrior jungle themed cosmetics, miscs, weapons and effects. and you make a scout dressing up as a dinosaur and that isn't clearly cool in my opinion. Correct me if im wrong but why would you wear a dinosaur suit while adventuring in the jungle? While other mercs have bad ass items like this [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=685167306&searchtext=[/url]

VLEK is the worst offender here in shoehorning themed items, and I do not approve of his practice in doing it at all. In fact, I'll commonly downvote his items on how terribly they were shoehorned. Also just because VLEK does it does not give everyone justification to do it as well.
The raptor set does not fit the Mayann theme. Just move on and rebrand it for Halloween this October.

I really want Valve to pick this up. Between the maps being made and the items this is shaping up to be a really nice update. I'm eager to see the level pack that is being worked on.

There are so many items in this update that I can see being in the game. And with the amount of community members working on it, I can say that I feel like this update will be added into the game at one point.
Love all the work put into this update, guys!
look, I'm not against rebranding but people need to forget about what the pack can do for them and worry about what they can do for the pack. Maybe if an author was actively working on more mayann content, a shoehorn would be perceived as tolerable and not just a desperate attempt at getting a piece of the pie with minimum effort. I know the community is mostly made of young talents but christ, people need better work ethics. that is all.
also the maps are coming, be excited.

Rebranding items wouldn't be that bad in my opinion if people didn't just do shit like take some random Top Hat for Pyro they made years ago, slap the Mayann logo on it, and call it a day. If they took stuff that actually fit the Mayann update, maybe something like an old snake item or giant bug and rebranded it, it'd be fine, but the rebranding of unfitting items just to have a shot at getting something in the game is straight-up horseshit.
RetroMike, that canteen looks cool! Maybe on the back you could change the TF Logo so it was like embossed into the canteen?
Do any Webley-style revolvers exist (either on the workshop or being made)?

Wouldn't take much work to make the lid come off and rig it.
Tried the embossing of the logos but they looked a little out of place on what is meant to be a plain canvas bag. Ended up going with a screen print that's wearing off.

I'm starting a KOTH map for this.
This is what I came up with in 5 hours. I'm keeping nearly everything in dev textures until the map prop/texture pack comes out.
It has two upper routes and three lower routes to the main battlefield.
The white designates the cave area, which is one of the three lower routes and it also has a portion that connects to the enemy's upper flank.

Those belly seams are very ugly to look at. I would recommend fixing them.
Also for the thumbnail, make it focus more on the frog. The Sniper is taking up the entire thing and the frog is not being shown well.

Just being honest, that one isn't any better. It doesn't really draw your eye, especially if it was in the workshop queue. I'd recommend you create another thumbnail, one where the frog is in the center of the picture and is enlarged so that you can see what it is
we did it facepunch
the frog is done

Even with the much needed update to that thumbnail to showcase it better, I feel the frog itself is too small, especially when seen on bigger classes. Because of its size and color, it might not contrast enough with any surroundings, and might go unnoticed a bit - which would be unfortunate considering just how much went into it.
Though it wouldn't necessarily be as realistic if it were scaled-up, it would read better as what it is and ultimately work better as an item. Maybe that's too little, too late, but do what you can, if you can.
