first part to be continued
january-april 2024

there are no hints (kinda)
death is progress (kinda)
the map is easy (kinda)
every bug is a feature (real)

but imagine its somewhere in the early noughties anyway
sorry i couldnt really do all the things i wanted
it looks like thats the goldsrc limit
well tbh i DID want it to reach the limit... but only for the entities lol
svengine really is flexible in this sense that it improved and expanded so many things
(even though sometimes i wish there were more flags for certain entities)

as the mapname suggests yes this is my first map ever
first brushes, first entities, first everything
my mapping skills were improving as i continued the map
my ideas got crazier and crazier as you can see
i named it "practice1" because:
1) there will be a second part and
2) its practice before the real thing, and that is a secret :)

but the further i kept going the more i got bored and tired of it
like my adhd ass didnt even come up with an actual map name lol
(it would be "uhwhat" if only i wasnt lazy)
yeah i didnt bother with optimisation and everything blah blah blah
think of it as an experiment

references used: A LOT, though implemented horribly
thanks to TWHL and svenmanor for the entity information
thanks to Turrican for inspiring me to make some weird puzzles
thanks to all the silly mappers responsible for this mess
thanks to muddasheep - you are why i got into goldsrc mapping

ALSO the sound folder is corrupted, it wasnt me, it was fucking audacity
fuck audacity, i just wanna say this, its shitware to me

oh and btw
