My take on creating another surreal/abstract map for Killing Floor 2. I want to make the map itself virtually symmetrical, rooms with somewhat tight movement about them, scenery/rooms/halls that change, and to use various methods to create some confusion and unease.

Key features of the map right now are:

Symmetry in current rooms. Scenery swapping when players are not looking and/or inside the room. Destructible lighting and objects including walls, ceilings, and floors (you can, in a sense, kill floors now). Tight movement through the map while still leaving enough open air for distant kills. Literal portal spawns. Enemies will enter the playable area of the map through portals that open when in use (except vent spawns, they stay open after the first use). Key features to be added in future updates:

At least 6 total rooms to expand the map. Particle effects on more destructible objects. Visually changing hallways for future connecting rooms. Hidden item caches with better item spawns. This is by no means the final product, but it is at a point that I feel comfortable releasing what I have done right now to have open for testing/feedback as I improve upon the map (hence only two rooms right now that are relatively close to finished instead of several rooms that are lacking detail).

Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated, I am constantly seeking to better my level design skills!
