Poll Question 276 – Would you rather have lots of maps with low quality visuals or less maps with high quality?

This is a question from James Partridge AKA Aazell.

He wrote to me and asked “In my experience the majority of the time it takes to put together a good map pack is spent making the maps look pretty and getting the detailing to an acceptable standard.

Given there are only so many mappers out there and most work alone, their time is finite. As a result this level of detailing leads to less maps being released as mappers feel the pressure to create high quality visuals.

So it comes down to a simple choice, the community can have lots of playable, fun, low detailed maps with basic visuals or few and far between highly detailed projects… which would you prefer?”

Starting in an alley with just the gravity gun, you must use the environment to keep moving forward.

Life continues to put obstacles in your way, but with thought and perseverance they can be overcome.

Alyx and Dog await you in the Daylight.
