oh neat

This was released before Coalpit was added to the game. Also I'm credited on Coalpit, lol

we already got coalpit

Man, I love the feel the snow maps have in tf2, makes me feel like a kid again

cool! (see what I did there, cool hehe) I haven't tested it yet to check but think this map is kind of a good opportunity to optimize minor things like the spawn cabinets.

Having a map that already exist but has minor changes, is just lazy.

I did change the skybox to a stormy winter/ alpine one that matches the fog look

and for a sunset skybox or a stormy one?
(sorry for the bad english)

I've got some heavy fog simulating distant snow fall on the map and I haven't found a good night time skybox I liked that would fit that look, unfortunately. I did give it a shot.

it would be nice if the sky box change to night

Gravelpit is such an underrated classic map. Wish they would add it this December so that we can play it in some form or another.

Hey, the map is really cool, but I think you should change the sky box to a night one for example

This map took about a month of work with me losing sleep in order to crunch on it in between my day job, but go off.

Ultimately it's up to Valve to pick what they want in game. Last year they wanted a refresher of an old map, and it was a popular choice. If they do it again this year that's up to them, but I'm not holding my breath. I did this for fun, like all of my projects.

Dude, just shut your trap already. He does not have an ego at all, unlike you who puts an effort into writing walls of text like a sore loser.

Reskins are completely fine. There are lots of people who prefer reskins because the gameplay stays the same, and does not introduce any bs like some Halloween maps do.

Seriously, go find something more productive to do. Your absence ain't gonna make your wishes come true, other than show how insulting and offended brat you are.

You've clearly missed the point, but with an ego like the one you're displaying I can see how you'd make such a mistake. I'm not jealous of your success, I'm not making any maps and I'm not trying to compete with you.

My point is that Snowy Gravelpit is a lazy snow reskin that was pumped out with minimal effort just like Doublefrost last year, and due to your name and status in the community it'll inevitably get far more attention than it deserves in terms of quality, most likely added, and only serve to further bog down the map pool with unoriginal low effort garbage and take away spots from others who may have actually tried.

You can dislike my opinion all you want, but I believe I'm objectively right here. Ask yourself if Snowy Gravelpit took longer than a week to make.

Spot on atmosphere! Reminds me of my hometown a lot

snowpit would be a good name

This is gotta be in smismass!

based

lmao yeah that's it, not the fact that I created a tutorial series that basically every new mapper uses, people who have stuff in game crediting me for their start. Or helping run TF2Maps and fostering a much more welcoming mapping community than it was when I started. Or the many many other maps I've created in that time that are all top ranking on the workshop.

I'm just riding that joke map attention from a decade ago.

It's okay though, I remember when I first got into the scene seeing the people who had been around for awhile getting all the attention and being frustrated because it felt like it was unfair. But I matured and grew up and realized they put in their time to get to that point, it's not just handed to people, despite only seeing the end results. So stay salty, you'll get there someday.

And I made TWO dumb joke maps 10 years ago that got popular. 😘

You made one joke map 10 years ago that got popular

Have you considered changing the skybox ? It would look really cool with a sunset or stormy sky. Really nice work though, my fav for Smissmas so far.

My dude, I have literally only ever gotten one map in for Christmas, that is not a trend.

The only reason I can make these relatively quick is because I've put over a decade into learning this stuff, and nearly all of my big projects haven't gotten in. But yeah, just riding on my name... How'd I get that name, by the way?

Another christmas, another snow reskin that crash shits out last minute which will definitely end up in the game simply because of his name

Cool... literally!

snowpit

i'd say this to me is more visually appealing than normal gravelpit

Nice

Well then it's Snowpit

It's simple but good.

cp_snowpit

Tad bit generic but I like it

dope

Huh, neat
