GG Cantina Evening

Ever since I started mapping I couldn't stop judging the gameplay of real locations, so I immediately was inspired to start a new map as soon as I set foot into the snackbar of a furniture store here. As soon as I arrived at home, I started up Hammer and brushed out a part of what I had seen. I quickly realized how copying the location 1:1 would destroy game flow though, so I abandoned that idea and continued building in elements that contributed to gameplay instead of keeping the original structure.

There were some flaws in the initial release. The map was too open and you couldn't really hide anywhere, which made killing people impossible as soon as you got to knife level. This was easily fixed by adding a new floor to the map. You can now climb into the ceiling and get behind enemy lines from there.

The project was created for mapgate.eu, a mapping site which has been abandoned some time ago, so while the mapgate servers aren't active anymore there's still ads for them all over the place. If you want to run the map on your server but think they'd be distracting, write me a mail and I'll see if I can replace them for you.

Thanks to Nikl for modeling and texturing those awesome plants!
