W bruh

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3596740051 There we go, got the second build of this uploaded for anyone that's interested. Happy halloween everyone!

Alright, getting the second work-in-progress build rendered now, gonna let it go overnight and I'll try and pack it up in the morning before I head out for work. I'll post a link here when the second ones up, thanks for taking a look!

@Seong Gi-hun you and me both man lmao, honestly half the reason I wanna finish this map is so I can start on another little exploration/night-time/city kinda deal that I've been thinking about XD

Well yeah I wasn't expecting it to be before halloween obviously, just saying Im excited to see the full version, since these are like my favorite maps to explore nowadays

@Seong Gi-hun there's like a 30% chance I get the whole thing done before Halloween, honestly depends how shit work is lmao

I think I can safely say it'll be out before mid-November almost certainly, I got a lot further along than I expected these past couple weeks

To be fair, I was mainly referring to when the map as a whole is complete :p

EPIC!!!!!

take all the time you need

@Lightning8 🫡🫡🫡 I won't let you down boss

@Seong Gi-hun I'm hoping to have the next WIP build of this done before Halloween, so hopefully you won't be waiting long!

@bread b o n e r

@seabazian me too, adding little things to find and do to an otherwise normal rp/sandbox map is always something I aim to do at least a bit

you got my follow

Can't wait to see this done soon

this gave me a boner

i think we need more gmod maps with things to do and reasons to explore since i've only found a few like that

@harrisonfinn16 I think there's a couple buildings with entrable interiors already, when I've got the city block layout done and have all my buildings roughly blocked out I figured I'd start making some more interiors

@MelissaJulie64 lmao me too 😂

can u go in the buildings? thats the city im looking for with houses that u can go in and ye thats really it

I love city maps

Updates up! I'll see about fixing those couple texture hitches and that should be good for this first WIP. I'll put my nose to the grindstone for a bit and get some new areas/interiors put together for a 2nd WIP build in the future!

Working on a little update for this first WIP build, adds a few things and refines some others. We'll see if the main city area gets much bigger, optimization tanks hard when I add additional blocks lmao

I'm really really bad at making cities 😭😭😭

Ooo

@VINTEX yup, when I've got stuff a little more concrete I'm going to do some extensive npc-related work. Right now I just wanna get it to give me stable framerates when I make things larger lmao

i had a quick question, it's an awesome map but, would you be able to ai node it?

@Praisemantas thank you very much!!! I had a lot of fun with those tunnels, the angled walls are really fun to make

I absolutely love how your train tunnels look. And those vaulted ceilings on the stations are perfect!

@SirPickles afterhours is still one of my faves I've done, I'm definitely hoping this one can shape up to be as good as that one! Thanks so much for checking it out!

Afterhours is my favorite of all your maps, so seeing you expand on the city idea is pretty exciting. Looking forward to how this evolves in the future.

@jill sandwich ❤️❤️❤️ thank ya kindly haha, hoping this one gets the atmosphere right especially when I start working in some soundscapes

@foodmonstersonmylawn I guarantee it'll get done to some extent at least, I'm just putting off having to re-do the tower stairs cause I'm lazy and it would probably be a hell of a lot easier to do in like blender lmao. Brushwork for weird angular stairs was a really stupid idea 😆

And atria, I'm adding that to the inspo pile for sure! If I end up having my way with source I think what you see here will be like 35-50% of the total map when I'm done so there should still be some room for a bunch of stuff

even if you never finish kresge, you should still one day try a office park, this map is pretty cool, i like the 1950s-70s designs and the buildings from ann arbor

one small office park that i think is pretty cool is atria park in ypsilanti and has the same experimental 1970s/60s vibe

always excited to explore one of your maps! wonderfully atmospheric, as always!

Did a small check on my steam deck, actually ran surprisingly smooth and no missing textures so give it a go!
