Garry's Mod custom map (Source Engine)
(February 2024)
A small map I created for a game called Garry's Mod.
​
A map I made based off of Japanese tea houses, set in a forest clearing with small lake and a wayside shrine tucked away in the forest. With both day and night versions.
​
With this I also learnt more Hammer quirks and features such as creating custom particles, creating custom soundscapes, importing custom models and props, baking prop shadows such as for the trees, packing all assets (including custom textures) so everyone can play the map etc. As well as using other tools such as the source particle editor and running certain source engine games in tools mode.
​
While the map is partially AI noded around the teahouse, this map was not designed with firefights and combat in mind. Rather as a relax or chill map, or if people want to roleplay.
