The new judgment waiver sequence, was kinda a pain to get the timings right but it worked.
should try to get a custom voice maybe for the judgement waiver effect, same like atles map had

I'm pretty sure atle's one was just TTS
Nah. C8's was done by a member of the community, C24's was done by the guy who did the announcements (or whatever) in Dishonoured 1 (I think).

please god no I absolutely hate custom dispatch lines they are god awful
I mean I get that but eventually re-using the same iconic voice just gets boring to me, tbh. They used a new one in Alyx, and I honestly loved hearing something new and eery instead of just the same voice that doesn't even fit the "booming sound"

the new one in alyx doesn't really make sense imo because they still use the old dispatch lines as ambience??? like what

they used them as a place holder in the demo before implementing the new ones as they shipped the game, they probably weren't finished by then

I've played the game, the ambience of city 17 uses the old dispatch lines still.

New checkpoint by the backalleys in D1, I'm adding a few checkpoints here and there. Honestly D1 shouldn't be a dangerous place - it has all sorts of union factions there. CWU shouldn't be getting mugged there. so I made it harder since the back alleys are expanded :)

Also v3b has like more loyalist apartments but they are really weird and bad so I fixed those up a little.

I've been adding cables to add to the city ambience, I think it looks pretty cool and adds an element of realism.

edit: I have since set the subdivisions for the cables from 2 to 8, basically means they look way smoother.

Would you guys like me to redo a large majority of textures and building designs to make it feel considerably more like Tokyo? I feel like city 8 doesn't give off Tokyo vibes as much as it could. (see this for reference https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1926983094&searchtext=left+4+dead+2)

react agree for change disagree for don't change

I'm surprised by how many people are up for this, also happy. This WILL more than likely change the aesthetic, but ideally it will make it feel more unique and right now the only thing making city 8 feel like tokyo is the posters and signs
