coool map

Thanks, I get that a lot it would seem, I should maybe check out their maps sometime and see.

cool map, reminds me a lot of conne's maps

Thanks

Also your tf2 maps are great.

Thanks bc I also had maps like cp_minetest1 and it showed as (UGC) so ty

Yes thats correct, the UGC shows up for anything you have subscribed to on the workshop, (UGC standing for "User Generated Content"

Just asking what's the name for the map in console? Because when I loaded up lethargy_pools it showed up as (UGC) lethargy_pools. Thank you!

Thanks, im glad you like them! They are very fun to make, I would still love to make more, so keep an eye out in the future for them

I love this map as well as the mall map you made. I'd love to see more maps like this, they're so incredibly cool.

Thanks, appreciate it!

I love this map. Thank you for making this map which I love.

Yea

This reminds me of that "myhouse.wad" map for doom 2.

Not sure to be honest, I think its similar to things like "dreamcore" "surrealism" and "weirdcore" maybe.


My creative process varies from map to map, but generally its just a certain sudden need to "make" something that pops up in the moment, so I get to work by collecting music, art, memes and other stuff I like, then I just start making something, while including the music, art I made, and memes I enjoy, making it kind of a big "collage" of things I like, in that moment of time.

This specific map was also vaguely based on a dream I had, but generally I tend to just imagine and "wing it" when making these.

Thanks for playing!

Is there a name for this style of map (mishmash of inside jokes, references, and other random stuff in an exploratory type map) and what was your creative process when making this map?

Great map btw

I wish lol, its not often I remember the dreams but I try to write them down sometimes when I do, like this one. So if I have another weird and cool one like this, I will probably try recreating it again

Can u dream of more awesome and strange maps like this i like them

Incredible

i live, i love, and i appreciate dis map.

Hope you enjoyed!

Incredible map. Took me over an hour but I found all the headcrabs :)

Noooo

stick

fish

Thanks!

Always a treat seeing another one of these
Nice work man

Really glad to hear, I always loved exploring weird maps on the community list. Sometimes you find something very special!

These maps really remind me of those weird obscure maps you see at the bottom of the community server list, where there is usually a small community of people just vibing and having fun!

Good Stuff Ethosaur! Keep it up buddy.

Alright, guess it was just bug on your end, sometimes it might also do that after I update the page maybe.

for now, its fine

So its fine for you now or?

it was link removed beforehand

@Black Messsssa thanks, really glad to hear you think that, I also feel the same way about these kinds of maps, like you are never alone when playing (in a non creepy way lol) a d its just cozy/nostalgic

@weedshot Links are all still there for me when I checked, even online when not logged in, check online to see if its just on steam maybe.

@Grandpa Hi grandpa

hii etho :)

the map links were removed by steam, can you add them back

Reminds me of community server maps from the late 2000s, like the Mario Kart one, where it's a huge assortment of custom assets that were spliced together into one beautiful eyesore that feels more like a GMod map rather than a TF2 one.

And no matter what, these maps are always just a really fun place to hang out in and do whatever. They always feel lively, even when you're the only one on the server. like you get the feeling someone is there with you and is aware of your presence....but you don't know where they are.

Yippiii

i love this map, it so like liminal and stuff looks trippy and cool and it has like everything <3 <3

haha dang, glad to hear that, it was really fun (but also tough) to make!

This is The Best TF2 Map I've Ever Played. It Drove Me Insane. I spent an hour Trying to Find All 6 green HeadCrabs. Holy Lord this is a fever dream

I'm surprised that I didn't made that connection with Xenon's old classic maps instead of Nipper! since a lot of Xenon's map are "gallery-like" with memes scattered around. You definitely have your own style going though, like Xenon's is retro and futuristic and these maps would be woozy and dreamy.

Surprisingly I actually have never played any of nippers maps, only seen some videos by whomobile I think.

Mine are more inspired by Xenons old maps, like harbl hotel and mario_kart, but I do like to imagine I have my own style going, or at least am trying!

In my opinion, both of their maps has a distinct kind of charm but Ethosaur is kind of the modern Nipper.

ethosaur you may never be nipper but the map is definitely good

Dude literally can't stop making 10/10 weird and stylish source maps.
