[WIP] RP_City63

City 63

City 63 is (yet again) an industrial city which utilizes beta Combine elements, such as door towers, and retains the idea that the Combine are re-purposing buildings instead of building their own out of combine metals.
My goal for City 63 is to make a city more largely based on the industrial district and have a central civil housing district, instead of scattering civvies around the map and having a very small and, in my opinion, sometimes underwhelming industrial districts.

Please remember that this is nowhere close to being finished, I'm taking my time with this map and not adding too many details to avoid ripping apart lots of brushes and wasting time decorating something that might end up being scrapped altogether.

Spoiler

Due to the 20 picture limit per post, information on the industrial district, the citizen housing district and the nexus will be posted below in three separate replies. (Not including the slums, development on that area is gonna be quiet)
​

Don't worry, there's a lot more of the map, and I'll be adding a lot more to this thread when I can get pictures of the other districts!

Please give me any ideas or questions you have, I'll make sure to update this thread as I update the map.

Looks nice.

 

I actually looked at the pictures. Looks like downtown in some of them. Haha. Nice job. Have fun with it too, put some perky design into it.

 

Lighting is a bit off, in the green warehouse specifically; looks like you've just used pure white light entities. Use more yellowish-orange and light_spot.
Other than that looks decent so far.

 

Actually...

I decided on a grey-ish because it complements most of the other colors and I didn't wanna overuse the orange hue, that color works best with the yellow warehouse and the main factory. Although the light_spot positioning and angle could be improved, the ceiling isn't high enough for the light_spot to be as useful as it could.

I can always revisit this once I get enough of the main features in the map done and move on to making everything pretty, but that's a long ways off.

EDIT:

Maybe it's the brightness?

 

Looks really good so far.
