The City of Gold

Back in the day i discovered that there was custom maps for Serious Sam, made by the fans.

This is one of the few i recall downloading and playing.

It's a custom Single Player map made from the ground up by Gary Parkin (GaryP).

Using the tutorial in the community (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=256352241), i was able to port it to SS:Revolution.

Well, it's a pretty enjoyable map with a cool background story and a nice "end"... It's not a big one, but it's well made. Enjoy!

Curiosity: The map author got Damjan Mravunac (music composer for the Serious Sam series) himself to beta-test the map!
