Description







To preface this, soundscapes do not work on this map for now. Some weird issue with directories I haven't figured out yet.

This is basically the full remake of Purple Dots Nightclub. If I was as proficient as now all the way back in 2021, this would've been my first map. It's definitely something and is also definitely one of the more ambitious projects I've tackled. The idea for SPU was conceptualized some weeks ago when I was playing Robocop: Rogue City and was just in awe of the environment design in that game.

It is stunningly good which is a bit of a shame it doesn't have a photo mode. A very specific section within the Detroit level was used as the basis for this map, with the rest being filled in quickly over the first week of development. During this time I was also experimenting with a new set of textures from Ubisoft's The Division 2 which was put to great use here (without normal maps for now since they are encoded differently from Source's).

With that out of the way and apart from another small project I'm working on, I will be taking another hiatus from mapping. This time, it is much more serious. Without dwelling into the depressing specifics, a lot of things have been happening lately. I have been suffering mentally and physically which has in turn affected my social life, my studies, my hobbies and so on. I can't even eat or drink without feeling bad about it afterwards. It will likely be weeks before I could make another map, or really, do anything without feeling sick.

I want to focus specifically on healing myself and having fun again. I know I said that last time and I did really do it, but it didn't work out as much as I hoped. This will be the last map published for the time being. I'm not retiring or anything, I just need a good long rest. I will be patching it of course, in case of any issues but other than that, I thank you for reading this long. Until then.

Hey man, i love your maps.

If you allow me to give you some advice, you can try to do physical exercises regurlaly, and seek help from a good psychiatrist, it has helped me a lot. Get some time for yourself, see you soon. :steamthumbsup:
