@Videogames If you check the file name for this map on the prop menu it stands as "dys_liverfailure" as i had started the development of it as a liverfailure related project. All of them share the same base idea of taking place in a setting that could be described as an "industrial nightmare". So yes you got it spot on! All thematically related but i deviated a lot from the existing setting and aesthetic in order to do my own thing for it to be more grounded instead of full-on nightmarish. Thanks for playing! And if you're interested in the theme, recently there has been a new release from that group called rp_aorta by the user Flaminglump

That standalone RP sourcemod Aneurysm IV honestly feels heavily inspired by this & other similar style of maps on workshop (such as the rp_liverfailure series). It's a neat sorta 'aesthetic'.

more art direction than most entire games

Some of the castle parts remind me of Ghostbusters the video game like on the shandor island or the spirit realm very similar style to your map great work

Although wish there were a full EYE npc pack out there because i think it would've fit the map so much.

Somehow despite being relatively small map, it has quite a lot of content in here that it surpasses a lot of huge maps. Really great work!

amazing map, hope you make more like this!

Yay!

@Democratic Ice Noodle Both :)

Curious does this have Nodes and/ or a navmesh?

budget imperium

This map is a masterpiece, medieval Gothic, poverty and some steampunk notes! I really like it, it looks cool, gloomy and immerses in this atmosphere. But if you have a description of what kind of castle it is and who it belongs to, then tell me, I want to know the history of this map.

@Im mẹ m đi Bảo!!! I looked up pictures of this game and totally see where you coming from with the connection! But unfortunately it's just a coincidence afterall but i'm glad you played it through and thought of that, i must agree with you

this map somehow screams the inspiration from the game "Kingpin: Life of Crime" game. Does any of u guys find the resemblance? I thought i was walking around a personal take upon remaking Kingpin: Life of Crime lol

One of the most detailed maps out there. Dark and gritty.

@Lieutenant Kara Thrace . There are some statues and carved faces scattered through the map Better watch out hehe

That giant demonic stone face at the entrance of the tower scared the hell out of me. I was climbing the staircase, saw it, and jumped in fear. I have a phobia of statues and statue-like sculptures.

Once, when I was a child, I was deep downtown, high up on one of the top floors of a building. I looked out the window of the office and saw something terrifying… On the rooftop of the building next door, there was a massive fountain shaped like a giant stone lion’s face. I was absolutely horrified. Ever since then, that has been my phobia.

Some Assets Feel Like They Are From Other Sources. Still, Interesting Map To Look Around.

Love the map! Are you able to chat about making custom maps for payment? Would love to discuss with you. Sent you a friend request

@Sohald & Spike Yep sure! You're welcome, it was published here to be used as the players wish to... sandbox, rp, hide n seek, animations and wathever else

This map is great. I would like to ask if I can use this for my Gmod Animation Series. This map is optimized, has the vibe I'm looking for and with some light work + skybox change in-game, this map can turn into morning, afternoon and night.

I would love to see a version of this map that takes place during a time where the castle/kingdom was still in its prime, before the modernization... before the mismanagement and the disrepair

my house i live here

@Nylotep Yep feel free, just publish it unlisted. But something i must warn you is that i had to cease development due to hitting various engine limits because of the size of it, so honestly good luck You can counter those by not using func_detail, do props or other entities instead, and there's this "texinfo" limit, meaning you'll have to be very economic about textured faces coordinates, other than that go on with it

Hi, added as friend then realised this would be better. Any chance I can have your permission to edit this for specific use on a specific server? All credits to yourself.

The City of Lost Children kind of environment

Wow, a great assortment of different urban environments. We got (not direct quotes but the FEEL of) Ravenholm, the Shivering Isles, Arx Fatalis, Deus Ex, more; all kinds of old school gaming nostalgia and I am lovin it!!

This map reminds me of something

feels like a cod zombies map

dishonored vibes

This map is amazing!

No Problem bro. We'll always enjoy it.

Thanks everyone! I haven't gotten to answer comments individually not to flood the page, but i do read all the kind words and cool comments Glad you all enjoyed it!

skyrim vibes.

dark and gritty...PERFECT!

This looks really cool and a fun exploration opportunity, thank you for this map.

One of the most atmospheric maps I've seen on Source. Really good environmental storytelling too. Good work!!!

good top

preem

this right here is hella atmospheric. bravo!

oh i like this

This map looks like a place I would see in my nightmares. It's very odd, it's like many of the areas in the map are from different dreams and they all converge together to create this eerie city

Amazing
