Map description:

PLEASE LOOK FOR MY UPDATES IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!

My tribute to the original HL1DM map, Gasworks. I wanted to make it like the actual Gasworks park in Seattle, but it was just too complicated... plus I was limited to not being able to make custom textures and models for the map contest. :P

I know a lot of people didn't really like this map in HL1, but I always had a lot of fun and I wanted to give it an overhaul. I stayed pretty true to the original map, but enhanced a few areas to allow things to make more sense...

When it's out, I hope you enjoy my first Source map...

This map is dedicated to my girlfriend, who almost gave me the boot while I tried to finish it up before the 1/15/04 deadline.

UPDATE: I have added a link to my website where I have several hundred screenshots, many from early map development...

UPDATE: I just found out about something that was causing major slowness in the upper/outdoors section and have fixed it (along with a new 3D Skybox!) I will release another version within the next week!! Thanks for all the comments.

Great map, definitely the best remake of dm_gasworks! I love the dead body @ the elivator, nicely done.

When are you planning to release the final version?

I've been sucked into World of Warcraft and haven't done any updates for a few weeks. Now that the SLAM is in place though, I'll add it to the map and fix the final bugs that I know of and do a final release.

I'd quite like to see a final release, so we can put it up on the snarkpit server!

I absolutely hated the first version. i would be curious to see how this one diverges from the original. not that i do not trust my colleagues, but i am not real keen on any of the Valve remakes i have seen thus far. most copy the originals to close, and include the defects as well.

i would be willing to do a critique, but will abstain till i receive a request via PM, or open forum posting.

if you do not mind being told where you screwed the pooch that is.
