This is quite a well polished MapLabs challenge map that includes engaging story elements. Nice work overall. Playthru and feedback here: https://youtu.be/3VoIxrcs8sU

this is an interesting concept i like the map ( the wires are hell) but i got confused when the combine started coming. so yeah love the map

I think there needs to be a warning about wiring, because while somepeople enjoy it, it can be tedious for those who want to get to the action quick.

And trigger traps to hold the combine off?

What do you do in this check the cams?

So

Haha, you must have managed to play this just before I pushed the updates fixing the text, but the fact the ending made you feel even remotely close to what I intended regardless is honestly all I could ever ask for.

Your main critique is also my main critique, I would have loved to do something akin to the physics traps of Raveholm, but I didn't have the time, or tbh, the skill. I actually only added the grenade chutes because of exactly what you said, the gates didn't really mean all that much, and they still definitely weren't a perfect solution, evidently.

Also, thanks for recording it! It's always fun to watch others play your map, see how they interpret your designs.


Oh yeah that monitor that disabled itself on you is fucking cursed and won't stop breaking in so many ways and I hate it

Yo, I made Walkthrough for all One room competition maps I could find.

From arhitectual standpoint radiator should be under window. I liked overall room look and gameplay unique gameplay system. I might have done something wrong, but it didn't seem beneficiary to close any gate, i would have rather let combine gather in in close space and illustrate them with grenades. I feel like if map had some more fun ways to kill combines with booby traps (Soomething like deathrun + HL:A combat) would have been fantastic. Either way I enjoyed it. Screen slowly going black didnt make it obvious that map is ending. Ending music made emotional as I was surrounded by combines with no ammo to fight them with - tragic

Okay, I've updated the text so it should display in the intro and outro. It doesn't scroll like I wanted it to, but at least the intro and outro actually make some sense now.

No text at the end, thanks,

@johnhill, yeah there is a slug, it's hidden, although maybe it should be clearer that you can actually find it lmao. Also the fade to black is how the map is supposed to end, although there should be some text displayed once the screen is black. Are you seeing that (+ the text on the monitor in the intro), it'd be good to know if that hasn't broken in the publishing.

Also seriously Valve, you can't reply to workshop comments on mobile? Come on dude.

good concept and lots of fun. Is there a slug to be found for the Health Station or is that only a distraction? After fighting off a number of waves is it normal to go black and white and then black with music playing then exiting to the main menu?

Home alone meets Half Life.

Super unique and cool, bravo

This was really cool! Keep up the good work!
