Oh slimes, such a joy.

This is so cool I love cubemaps so much

Its so peak, Nintendo is cowards for not bringing her back (And not making a Sunshine 2)

Some good news: I think I finally managed to squash the bugs and all the crashes after hours of testing! But sadly it meant downgrading some visuals causing it, which I am a bit bummed out about.

Otherwise, I think I may be able to add a few more areas/things to the map now before release at least!

Guess thats the price of using such an old engine and being too ambitious every time lol, well I will see what I can do either way.

Unfortunately It seems I may have met my match with this new map

Been fighting all day with crashes most likely being caused by it being so complex and big, I want to add more but I will probably have to start optimizing what I got and try to aim for release soon, hope it will still be good enough.

Me when I am FORBIDDEN!!!

Doing pretty ok, but the last 10% is usually the hardest, its always "Ohh im almost done!" then you realize there is a lot of very small things that need to be fixed or changed which take way longer than the rest does

The last 10% of making a map got me like

Very thirsty! Gonna need all the water... In the world for it.

I admit, I was definitely inspired to try to learn how to animate them a bit after seeing the ones on your map! I think it adds a little extra life if they move rather than still images.

Haha yeah I made the switch a long time ago, the lighting preview alone has sped up my workflow like 10x, even if its not 100% accurate, its so much faster than needing to compile every small change and "guess" how it will look in game.

Yeah, it has helped at least with lights not taking up a lot of the limits! But I assume it cant bypass the built in limits of 8k brushes and 2k displacements right?

Earlier on a walk today I saw some guy drive by on a scooter, wearing a bag from the grocery store nearby, with a hole cut out on the front for his face, It was raining a lot so it was a makeshift hat I guess lol

(I just thought it was funny and had to illustrate quickly)

I didn't make it (if you thought so) But yea its very good lol

I couldn't seem to find the original artist anywhere but its signed as "|Gogiro" (If that even is the authors name) I couldn't find anything under that name though, or through reverse image search.

Not as much but its definitely another big one, but im trying to take more breaks when I feel burnout coming on for it this time at least!

Watching the brush, entity and displacements slowly ticking up towards hammers limits

(I still have a lot more I want to add to my map)

I literally just started reading it, Hi Nine!!!!

Keris, a former princess of a long forgotten kingdom who went insane and feral under unknown circumstances

Mara, a pirate captain-wannabe obsessed with the life on the seas

Ophelia, the battle-worn captain of the Sol Station, a space station that orbits around the Sun

Made some fanart for @ethosaur.bsky.social Ft. some of his slime girls, Keris, Mara, and Ophelia

Abrams finally offering his book when he loses

A fun thing I noticed with each of my "Weird TF2 Maps", is they are all made during a period im really into a certain game, and it often shows, as there is a lot of memes, music or textures from it, in the map lol

You might be able to tell what game(s) I have been playing with my next one...
