Lights (Mostly) Out

---

It is a pretty small map. Don't expect much except for the vibes. They are immaculate.

I am officially back from my break. Really needed those two weeks honestly. This map was conceptualized when I was in a certain Discord server and Jakob Robbins, a skybox maker published a new night time skybox. It's yet another milky way thing but the time of day is just a bit earlier, just enough so I can justify having the sun light. This map is a bit of a departure as it's my first attempt at a more rural suburban setting while also having an extremely cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. I wanted it to spark some memories is what I'm getting at.

The house was crucial to the atmosphere so I set out looking for middle-class 1 story houses set somewhere suburban only to be met with very fancy looking houses. This annoyed me so I had to resort to using the Byer's house from Stranger Things as a reference. The rest of the map came very naturally though as I made this map set to the tune of Vansire songs. This is also my first map to use Hammer++ which will greatly simplify mapping, especially once I get to the lighting and everyone knows how picky I am with lighting.
