Alley Triste

Located downtown Ascot is a well known place called Alley Triste. No one knows who coined the term as origins as to where they came from have been disputed. Don't let its small size fool you, the place is infamous for being the breeding grounds of most criminal activity. The basement of 49 East 11th Street also acts as a storage area for gangs and a place to sleep for the homeless. Law enforcement is cracking down on Triste harder as time goes on but has managed to put up a good fight.

A week before I started working on Triste, I finished Battlefield 4. Not only was the campaign such a huge improvement over Battlefield 3, it also looked ridiculously good for a 2013 game. You can go up to me, tell me this game was from a few years ago and I'd believe you. The Shanghai mission was also particularly evocative visually as it was just completely drenched in rain. I wanted to translate that into Source.

I whipped up the dev version in about an hour. I decided that func_precipitation was not going to make this map look good since the rain looks awful and sucked performance wise. This was switched out for a particle system that works differently (i think) with much better effects. The rain materials was made by the wizard Jasper Carmack, an absolute legend who I cannot thank them enough for the work they put into making a flexible rain shader for me. This map would've SUCKED visually without their help.
