Annual LAN (and online now) party w/ some friends starts on the 26th. Each year we play some Jackbox and other phone games, but also Half-life and Counter-strike 1.6 with custom maps we've created over the years - some as old as ~1999 or so.
Anyway I promised a new map this year and then slacked off for the past 350 days and have nothing to show for it. Let's see if I can knock something together in the next 3 days for CS that isn't horrible to play! (well, tbf that hasn't stopped us before, but...)
-
roughly blocked out some paths and key areas (bomb sites, spawn points). too flat currently, need more height variance. and the scale I think is way too big but I can fix that as I go.
Looks like five areas to detail and a lot of walkways, hopefully not TOO much for a romp if I don't get hung up on trivial stuf like I tend to do lol. I guess if it gets down to the wire I can just do one in bright orange with signposts about how that area it's under construction, please check back next year
-
T spawn and the southwest / west areas starting to take shape now. I like doing rocky cliff work in Hammer, you can get good results using a lot of triangular prisms and just changing vertex height to create jagged faces.
This deadline is so brutal! If I had time I'd spend hours iterating on this gingerbread house, but the best I can do is block it out and hope there's time to detail further before we play this.

Alas, after a full day of wrapping presents - and expecting an equally busy one tomorrow UNwrapping them - I think there's no way I can make enough progress on this in the remaining time. Bummer! Oh well, maybe next year
