    Explore the strange and surreal world of abstract maps in Source engine games like Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike. These maps push creativity to the limit, offering bizarre dreamscapes and eerie liminal spaces. I'll dive into my favorite maps, how they’ve influenced the community, and why they captivate me (thanks chat gpt)

    A friend of mine made a map in this genre, GM_Solitude. It's a very expansive map, loads of small secrets and paths to it. It's a very errie map in parts, creeps you out, but there aren't any jumpscares. You'll probably need several playthroughs to find everything, but it's worth it. It took him several years to make it, so check it out, it's by far my favorite map in Gmod, even if I play Gmod more for sandbox stuff.

    I have spent countless of hours on NIPPER's abstract maps, both on CS 1.6 and Gmod. They are my all-time favorite game maps ever and I cannot help but come back to them every now and then simply to walk around and vibe to the different rooms and songs. It's very nice to see someone covering these maps in a video.

    Source Engine is a whole art culture just because how it was fun, and easy to make from old days, to modern days. I still think that 99% of all maps created in Source/GoldSRC engine have soul than most of games in the world

    There's something about the lighting in Source games (including Goldsrc and Source 2) That really make these maps hit different. For TF2, a lot of Conni's Trade maps are very Nipper inspired while still largely being thier own thing. You also have Xenon who made maps like MARIOKART, Cyberpunk and Harbl Hotel which has gone on to inspire their own subgenre of Abstract Source Engine Map

    I never really played Gmod but I put probably around a couple thousand hours (no joke) into MG servers on GO/1.6.

It really is a shame that a majority of these naps are now unplayable on servers because of Source2.
