MULTI-LAYERED MAP
Harbour District
A placeholder for a detailed case study: routes, sightlines, vertical play, and the optimisation needed to keep a busy server smooth.
THE APPROACH
Big ideas need someone willing to be honest about them.
I’m Smashy, a full-time Senior Level Designer with a degree in Games Production, two Steam releases, and more than ten years in the games industry. Most of my work has been for Garry’s Mod communities where a map has to look good, play well, and still run properly when the server is full.

Reserved for release work, process notes, and the bits that never make it into a trailer.
ABOUT SMASHY
I’ll tell you if an idea needs changing.
Working in Garry’s Mod has taught me things that do not show up in a generic level-design tutorial. I know the compromises that come with large, layered maps and the difference between something that works in testing and something that works for a real community.
I’m not the cheap option, and I am not interested in pretending every idea is perfect. If something will not work, I’ll say so. If it can work with changes, I’ll explain them.
Every job is discussed one-to-one. There is no fixed package because no two projects are the same.

LET’S TALK
Got a map in mind?
Come and chat in the server. We can talk through the idea, what it needs, and whether I’m the right person for it.
