Spring Release
Posted by Mike Mollick on Monday May 5, 2008

Spring has finally arrived and we here at Dimension Studios have been very busy so far this year. Among several CS:S client requests we have been juggling multiple other projects. Today we are pleased to announce the release of three new maps.

Fy_arpley
This map was created by Nay0r, one of Dimension Studios best level designers. The map perfectly showcases his mapping style and talent for creating fantastic atmosphere and stunning environments. Based on the Arpley Rail Bridge located in the UK, fy_arpley is sure to provide many hours of enjoyment.


Cs_siege_pcs
Created exclusively for the Tactical Gaming clan, cs_siege_pcs recreates the feel of the original Counter-Strike 1.x map but with a number of additions. Extra routes eliminate the choke points and make rescuing the hostages more realistic. The screen shots may look nice but what really makes this map is the game play.

Aldéz's Test Chamber
Up to this point Dimension Studios has worked mostly on maps for CS:S, but with the release of Orange Box, one of our members decided to try his hand at a Portal map. Dimension Studios is proud to present Aldéz's Test Chamber. In the words of the author "This is my first and only bonus map for Portal. My goal wasn't to make a challenging map, but to make a map that covers many of the basic elements of Portal. I hope you enjoy it nevertheless."

Holiday Update

It has been a while since the last public news update at Dimension Studios. However that does not mean that we have been idling around. We are finally ready to show you some new media and announce another map release!

New Release: Cs_dawes

Just a few days ago Nay0r has made public the level he has been developing over the past few months. He built cs_dawes very close to a real warehouse through photographic reference and on-site visits. The result was a very detailed and unique environment that has given us hours of fun during internal play tests.

New Media

De_cqp
Just like cs_dawes, de_cqp is designed after a real environment of a botanic garden and is a private request from the CQP clan. The map has been in production for quite some time already under the direction of our level designer Something, and is now nearing completion as it undergoes beta testing.


De_cloak
This is Aldez's remake of his original de_cloak for CS 1.6. The original layout has been modified for a quicker and more intense gameplay, while the most distinct key features, such as the dark atmosphere and three bombsites, were emphasized on. The map is currently being polished for an upcoming release.


Anubis
This level by KillerWorm is themed after Unreal Tournament and is planned to be released both for HL2:DM and CS:S. Themed around ancient Egyptian ruins, the level provides a very different type of environment to the typical HL2 and CS maps. Just like the others, Anubis is in its beta stage and will be released soon.
