First time mapper; second map. I hardly count the first, because it was basically the obligatory Beginner's-Square-Room-With-One-Light-And-One-Physics-Object/Crate/Hostage-entity.

This map is a semi-accurate (taken from memory, not floorplans) re-creation of the old apartment where I used to live. It's quite small, which doesn't bode very well for playability, but it was a toss-up between that and accuracy. More often than not, I've chosen accuracy -- as best as I've been able to remember, anyway.

The entire purpose of this map is essentially to build my skills enough to re-create my mom's condo, since it always seemed like it would make a great cs_ map. This map is much less complex than my next project, since it's just a two-bedroom, $600 a month apartment in a questionable complex where drug dealers may or may not live.

The completion status is tentative, since I don't know how much of the surrounding area I'll include and/or make playable.

Guess that's it. I'll release a .bsp when I feel it's not so much of an eyesore anymore.

P.S. Those hostages are there temporarily for me to kill when I'm frustruated at something-or-other not working correctly.
