Floating security camera means that unfortunately the update will have to be rolled back.

Insane call back to hl2 concept art?

This sinkhole/tower dynamic is a truly incredible way to add asymmetry to the main map.

Virtually all of the large "posters" that Valve used to decorate the map before have been replaced with harder assets, neon signs, more three dimensional art

Playtested this custom Deadlock map with some friends and found it fun. Needs tweaks to be a good alternative to the main mode, but impressive visually. It felt surprisingly natural to play a custom map in Deadlock

something like this, more conceptual, is going to read as more sophisticated IMO. you're going for such a realistic, arch vis style that you want to keep going in that direction, layering sophistication rather than retreating to simplicity

creating a natural and believable environment is much easier when you can make these sort of modifications inside the editor. Moving back and forth from a 3d modeling program like Blender creates massive delay in production and, ultimately, worse results.

Lattice deformers were a game changer for Splinter, unlocking more organic shape variety. For *decades* on Source engine games, you were stuck manually rotating models or creating entirely new models simply to tweak their shape.
