4 suns, no wonder that map has global warming

Thank you so much for all of this!

The fact that half the lights are warm & orange, while the others are cold & white, really shows his attention to detail. He said the map was set in Germany, and the types of lights in Germany vary based on what side it was during the Cold War. So, even if he doesn't name a city, he's decided to put the map right down the Berlin Wall, which is wonderful design choice!

Thank you for being so kind and supportive to other mappers, and making such high-quality videos

Seeing the Tweets having no likes even he put so much effort, time and heart into the maps made me really sad. Im so happy he got a lot of attention now :) Good job 3kliksphilip

Will there be more untold tales from the workshop videos?

We laughed at the story in 2019 but now this seems more and more plausable

I don't watch philip's content because it's cs go. I watch philip's content because philip makes it and puts a lot of effort into everything and he cares about our user experience and I also enjoy his voice. on another note : I hope kubader will get the deserved attention from valve. I hope some valve guys working on cs go will watch this video

More of this would be nice (telling stories of mapmakers and looking at a map)

He should put more light or mobs will spawn

"It's almost up to a valve standard" Yo man, you don't have too insult him like that.... :^)

I'm decently sure for the radar he used Terri'sAutoRadar, an incredibly nifty Hammer addon.

I love you jamming lotr references in the script. I noticed it some time ago and now I get a giggle every time I notice you put one in

Sometimes I see a Philip vid and I admit I can't be bothered watching it when I see the notification. But sooner or later I get to them and I never regret the time taken and wonder why I don't just watch upon notification, even if I'm not in the mood

The map suddenly looked even more stunning at 10:06 with the added skyboxes! 🤤

Thank you Kubadar, very cool!

Why is this so oddly wholesome?! I don't want to feel nice, I want to feel evil! *SKELETOR INTENSIFIES*

I heard the name cyberpunk and Phillip say he's excited and instantly knew this video was a few years old

Thank you Poland for this map creator and allowing me to access thepiratebay. My light shineth upon you!

I felt so bad because he had only 0 to 1 likes but he still kept updating mad respect ✊

This is so wholesome I had a dumb smile on my face the whole time It’s awesome seeing the love and care put into back site II

I don't follow counterstrike very much anymore, so although I don't understand the lore behind this map and your critiquing of it, it's great to see you supporting and sharing the maps created by people who have clearly worked very very hard on them. I hope he gets plenty of downloads and of course would be happy to see more videos like this. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Wow, with the fence and orange sky looks amazing!

"Snow in Winter barely exists" It's been like that for a few years lol

Such a bittersweet story. That's a guy who obviously has such an intense passion for what he's doing, but sadly no one really cared. But with so much enthusiasm, he kept goind and kept putting a lot of detail, and most importantly *love* into his map(s). And that's what art is all about. And thanks to Papa Philip, he's now getting the attention he always deserved. He's one of billions who will get that privilege, and he should count himself lucky indeed! Though, I disagree with some of Philip's suggestions. I love the hidden detailed area, since it's a small easter egg that only a select few people will ever see. It doesn't do anything except look nice, but it's a reward for paying attention. And the lighting looks fine, it looks like the map is cast in twilight. An orange sky would ruin the complementary contrast of the blue sky with the orange lights, and full daylight makes it way too bright. It's a passion project, and honestly only the creator knows best what to do with it. Criticism is still important, but it's up to the creator what should and shouldn't be changed.

The bit about Cyberpunk 2077 was really weird watching this in 2021, not having seen the video was from last year.

he actually saved his backside! nice to hear that

I never found a chanel that puts so much research into videos about a fps shooter, it's why i subscribed.

What a wonderful video, seriously. The constructive criticism, the exploration of a VERY esoteric topic/person and the classic kliksphilip editing quality. Loved it.

Hey kubader and 3kliks, if you'd need me to host a server for people to play this map on, let me know! I'd be happy to help a community member out!

Turns out Kubader is actually a really lovely person. he added me today because he liked my wallpaper engine stuff. Had a great talk about Philip, CS2 and his own CS maps.

This is a "Summoning Salt" esque video, albeit one that addresses map making, and we definitely would love to have more of these. Love you Philip!

This was an insanely interesting video, would be so cool to see more like this in the future

Should be listening to my study courses yet here I am with my love 3kliksphilip listening to untold workshops tales

And here I am watching this the day after the map was set

One thing I love about this channel isn't just that it focuses on CS:GO. You talk about creativity a lot, and that's important no matter what medium you're in. It's refreshing to hear somebody talk really candidly about it and try to actually dissect somebody's creation, and I wish it would be applied to other mediums people often just overlook. I want to make art people digest for a long time. Best of luck everybody

This limitation regarding entities not casting shadows has plagued Valve's engines since GoldSrc/Half-Life 1 times. The issue is that entities aren't considered a part of the solid geometry of the level. For example, trying to cover a hole between the level and the "void" will still cause a leak as the entity isn't a part of the hull. As such, entities don't contribute to the VIS or RAD/radiosity stages either, and lightmaps aren't applied on entities. I think it was even worse in GoldSrc though. Entity walls (for example crushable walls by trigger) stood out like a sore thumb. The whole engine design of the source engine is really showing its age.

Absolutely loved this video We need a series of this. Well, at least I do

I haven't played CSGO in a long time and moved on to Siege, but phillip makes me wish R6 had a community mapping tool. I can't help but feel the love and passion the mapper had put into their work. Cheers!

I am really entertained by this documentary-style video, Good luck to kubader,great work, and thanks again philips :]

we in 2023 kinda being able to confirm the not much snow winters 😔

9:17 Kliks, there is a tool called Terri’s Auto Radar by, well, Terri which generates the radar after floors and props etc are assigned to visgroups, it’s easy to do.

its like writing an essay, he pays attention to detail, researches places and their situation and items

I appreciate how you are able to present your constructive critisism in a non-condescending or insulting way!

Polak to się wszędzie wciśnie xd No i dobre, tak trzymać

On July 1st was my B Day! Thank you Kubader!

this is the best video you have made in a while i love it

More of that! Do a series, this is great!

Knowing my map was on the most popular tab only a couple days ago makes me tilted. Almost got in a video lol

I wish there was a gamemode where some of these maps got to be played (also my hammer stopped working for some reason)

I don't play CS:GO, yet I found this video tremendously entertaining. It had some of everything: A suspenseful story, a hero, and an Aesop. Praise and constructive criticism for the mapmaker, and publicity for a well-crafted map. Lessons everyone new to hammer can appreciate.

wholesome. it's like submitting homework to a teacher, getting some notes, comment and pointing to the right direction. plus it's always interesting to see how stuff works

Most Polish people love when something bigger thing tells about it/him/something he made/something hes friend made. And when i heard "Polish" my heart started boiling :D

2 things 1. KZfaq says this premiered 106 mins ago which is interesting 2. I love your videos

That is very kind of you Philip to make this video

Thank you Philip, it's cool to see you explain every detail of a map that could've been completely missed if not for some passionate guy randomly looking through the workshop. You should do more of these and show just how dedicatrd even the smallest of mappers are.

He used too much Kubamaps.

You should do more of these videos, an episode 2 would be great. And episode 3 o-o

i love this, using your big audience to promoting smaller creators is just what they need to go far much love

Your level of map critiquing is phenomenal, seems you cover every topic so well and explain it for even non-mappers to understand. This video is a masterpiece and fits the map it is detailing. Great video once again NumberKlicks

2023, global warming? february was pretty rainy. But july to october was very cruel hot. this maps lore is pretty accurate.

2:57 Oh dear...

This was a wild ride, I'd love to see more of this, the little tips along the way are a lovely touch!

I can relate to this. I open Hammer editor more often than I play the actual game just because of how fun it is to create a location and write it in every single detail until, at last, you’re walking down its alleys with the knife in hand and friends and playtesters at your side.

I miss you reviewing subscriber made maps, I started to make maps because of your old tutorials. That and my other hobbies inspired me to become a 3D arist. I no longer build maps, sadly. Thank you for that btw. Oh and I'd be glad to even read a few words from you writing about an old map I made. Nothing fancy, I never really finish stuff. No pressure tho' I know time is valuable. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=544749264

3kliksphilip talking about Poland *blood pumping*

This video is a gold mine for mappers

Philip this video was so wholesome and I just love how you're shining a light on these smaller creators (also why I love your weapon skin videos), Kubader has done an excellent job hear and I'm glad to see you can help him achieve some well earned recognition. Honestly this is probably one of my favourite videos of yours. Keep up the good work, you help make this community so special :)

Steam or valve should pay this dude for contributing to the community like that. Congratulations.

He was right about 2023...

I really appreciate you for doing this. Certainly a lot of people put countless hours into maps and may never see any attention. A huge part of what makes valve games amazing is it's user generated content. Being able to show it and helping a little with some tips is really nice.

Oh man I had no clue this guy did so many maps. I remember spending hours playing on his fort map with friends.

Hey everyone, if you'd like to test out Surveillance, I made a community server called "3kliksphilip/Kubader Test Server (Map: Surveillance)"! Come on out and try it out!

Ayy, this is a nice treat isn't it?

You´re just awesome Philip, much praise to you. I wish Valve created some MM version but the map pools just cycles through all top voted maps and then maybe let people vote at the end to keep them in the pool or whatever. Obviously they have to actually put effort into monitoring the workshop so it will never actually happen.

by the way, philip, his radar was probably generated automatically by TAR Auto Radar. It's an amazing tool to make panorama standard radars.

If you could use dark mode on Twitter that would be cool Phil, thanks

It's so sad to see all those tweets hyping it up all of which have only like 1 like :(

serious big claps and appreciation for the way you critique maps! that couldnt have been more polite and easy to understand

As a mapper too, I appreciate vids like this :)

my maps where on place 1 and 2 of the workshop in this video lol xD

-SWAT -GERMANY... _GSG 9..._

He didn’t give up, beautiful story and map!

To me I wouldn't change the blue sky because it reminds me of summer. It reminds me of when I went to Vancouver and the sun was still out at 11:00pm

2:58 ouch, that one didn't age well

Global warming here in Germany IS ALLREADY REAL! We had the highest temps ever this summer and winter seems very far haha

I'd love to see more of this, maybe if this kind of detail takes a long while to put together you could do a video featuring a small collection of workshop maps and give some reasons why we should try them out. I love playing new maps, even though I only get to play them with bots it helps to keep the game fresh. Hopefully in the future Valve starts rotating community maps more frequently, like putting new maps in every month, as well as adding community made Wingman and Arms Race/Demolition Maps (since those haven't been changed since foreverrrr).

Your sparity video made me interested in mapping and I started my first map last week. I learnt enormously from this video and I would LOVE to see more. I hope I'll be as strong as kubader and actually finish a map Sidenote : we played sparity with colleagues during our lunch break today, everybody loved it. Played it 2v2 B+mid only

Cyberpunk ahaha... haha ha :(

this story is so wholesome!!! i hope this map makes it into the game, it shows that dedication does pay off :)

People like this guy are what made the Source and Goldsource community so good. Hats to you all, you all the real MVPs!

Wow kubader is inspiring. Constantly working and getting things done

This is awesome! Kubader did a great job! I made a map once and gave up on it, so when it seemed like he gave up on his map, but didn't made me happy. i was almost really upset. Good job 3kliks and kubader

This is such a lovely gesture XD

All those moments won't be lost in time unlike tears in... rain. Time to live.

Bro that tweet about deleting and renaming the map broke my heart

Beautiful map and lovely walk through! 🧡

YES KUBADER, YOURE GETTING BIG :D

I cant even say how much this made me happy to watch on so many levels. I love this so much

this shit is so wholesome, youre a good dude Klik
