I would like to commission a map
I've always wanted to see a HL2 RP map set in New York, I've never seen an HL2 RP map set in New York. I'm thinking of commissioning a HL2 RP map set in New York if at all possible.

The reason I can't just use existing maps like NYCity, Union city, and southside is because all three of these maps aren't built for the gamemode, the main problems that prevent those maps from being used for an HL2 RP server are:

-Map size, the maps are far too large, this results in the map feeling empty, other players are hard to find because of the size. For an HL2 RP server, the map would need to be greatly reduced in size.
-Lack of Combine infrastructure
-Non-optimal layout for HL2 RP, the layout of the cities aren't optimal for an HL2 RP server. An ideal layout for a City RP server is hard to nail down, it must be quick to travel the map on foot, it must be easy to find other players on, stores should be placed on routes players travel, etc.

I don't know if Fishke will see this, from what I've read he has stopped mapping, I can't blame him, the sheer size and detail of these maps is insane, I honestly don't know how he made these incredible maps and lived.

If Fishke does read this, I would like to know if he accepts commissions or would even be interested in the idea of an HL2 RP map set in New York.

I did quit map making so sadly I'm not available for any commissions. Would it be cool if there was a HL2RP-based map set in New York? I don't have an opinion about this but I guess it would be a nice idea, a little like The Division 1's New York. I think it would have to be created from scratch specifically for that flavor of roleplay with your ideal layout and map flow in mind for perfect compatibility. Appreciate the compliment too. Map making for Source can be massively painstaking, like hand knitting a wall to wall carpet.
