Description
> this is an unfinished map, TLDR: it was mid so i stopped workin on it. don't expect a lot.

________________________________________________________

so. life got in the way. and i had lost almost all my motivation when the gm_liminality part 1 files were gone.
that's sorta why i started this instead.

if anyone cares about it, this is a Scrapped version of gm_liminality2; something i've been working on until now.
i lost motivation for it again, after noticing i was loosing scope of what the project was really about- the thing that made blamesatweet (part 1) special to me.

even tough it isnt a lot, this project was taking a lot of me and my time- and it gradually ended up feeling just like a waste of it.
so that's why im stopping work on this one, and trying to get back to how i used to do mapping, in a way that was actually fun for me, issue is i've got a life now to take care of, so im not sure when that will happen.

and, for this map, feel free to look around. i actually tried a few new things, like those choppy 2D smoke plums, some sort of "style" i was going for; but it all ended up not joining together well for me. also the filesizes were starting to get really big.
i don't know why it got so sidetracked into looking like the backrooms. that was one of the main things i wanted to avoid, but it just happened.

it was a lot of work, and honestly im just relieved to let it go and move on. also i have no idea how to compress the files

--------------------------

Original description:


Bigger than the original. same concept. (DEV PREVIEW)

gm_liminality 2 explores the bigger sections of liminal ambience.
some of these ambients are inspired by real locations, tough not all
the inteded idea is for VR exploring, general roleplaying, or even meditating.

suggestions and feedback are aways welcome

this is a dev preview that will have major changes and polish added

BROO, Ive been looking for this map for so long. None of any liminal maps get the feeling it should have, this looks crazy liminal and it gives me that feeling i was searching for, thank you

LOOK. in the comments of part 1 and you can easily get your files back

oh nah im not really a mapper, i never really touched hammer or anything like it, tho im still really interested in the concepts you thought up for the maps, also ya u can dm me

can i dm you @al7sayan ?

i don't mind giving away the files. just, don't expect a lot from them hah~
and, thank you. really thank you. Things have only gotten, well i hesitate to say it, but they haven't been better, so, hearing a compliment like taht, it really touches me.

im still trying to figure out how to compress these files, i uh, im a mapper, i don't really understand source and it's shenanigans, but feel free to try it if you'd like.

im not sure if i'll still be making maps honestly, it's not really about the time spent on it, just, life getting in the way of doing artistic stuff. Im just happy to know, some people out there still appreciate these small things. But, who knows, maybe i'll get back to it some day.

do you know if you'll ever release this map's source files and concepts/ideas for anyone to iterate on or to maybe complete the map, im genuinely interested to see what ideas you had for this map, cause the liminal maps you made look so cool and interesting
al7sayan 30 Dec, 2023 @ 6:21am 
i just saw this map and its screenshots rn and genuinely its a massive shame you lost motivation and drive for the project, but i understand, imo there's not really any point to any project if it doesn't have any passion behind it, whether it'd be a game, song or mod, free or not passion is all that matters, especially if its a free thing that fully started and was driven from passion, and i feel happy that you were able to let go of this after you lost all your passion, since i know how depressing and awful it feels dragging yourself to finish something you lost all passion for, even worse if you're doing it for free, since the thing you were doing for free started out of passion y'know?

@Skerion
well, thank you. sorry about the materials and stuff, i really didn't want to work further on this; but i appreciate that people still see something in it. im not the best mapper but i aways do the things i do with love (cheesy, i know) but it's what makes it fun for me. It's an artform and sometimes you don't put out the best work, specially while you're going trough stuff. hopefully my next project will be made at a better place in time. about the level design, it's kinda of what broke this project, it didn't follow the rules i already had, something i'll keep track of in the future, but, surprised to see it was still somewhat interesting. really ty for the feedback

I noticed this was unlisted on your profile, but thankfully I already had this map in my Favorites, so I was able to download it and try it out.

Honestly, broken materials and some unfinished level geometry aside, what you've got going on here is pretty interesting. The level design is genuinely bizarre and surreal which is great for a liminal space map, and I think the animated steam sprites are a nice touch.

I'd definitely encourage you to give this sort of level design another shot, that is when you have the time to do so.
