You've got yourself a layout. It plays well, but nobody will bother downloading it even if it's better than Dust2. It needs a theme and lighting! This is the first of two parts where I look into the detailing of a map and how to get it looking pretty.

0:27 - Early theme idea
0:43 - Snowy idea, Vexx and cool ideas!
1:35 - Differences that lighting and colour can make

2:54 - Landmarks
3:32 - Bombsite A and a template for the map
3:54 - Middle of map
4:13 - What's the theme of the map?!
5:00 - Extra, inaccessible areas
5:19 - Early ideas, skyboxes and botched attempts
6:25 - Conclusion

de_sparity is currently in the top 12 maps for CS:GO on the Steam Workshop and I believe is the best map that I have made. It took me 3 months to make, though admittedly about 80% of that was in the last week or so :P It was developed for the Gamebanana / Cevo competition but didn't reach the final 10.
