About

Midwest House

This map is an interpretation of my real ass house with lots of cool stuff. This is my first ever map I've made with Hammer and Source tools :)

Philosophy

I really only made this map to inspire others to make interactive maps, as I've noticed a serious gap in this area. If you have a really nice looking map, make the doors openable! Add buttons! Make it INTERACTIVE! 9/10 maps I see, even new ones, don't have working doors. Even less have more than that.

Also, I wanted to have a map that could be played in Sandbox but also be used for something like Prop Hunt, Guess Who, etc.

      • I utilized the provided Door component by Facepunch, so there could be a bug internally
