For those of you without Discord, life happens. Being 31 years old, 10 years after the creation of Highway from my bedroom in my grandma's house, with a wife and two of my own children, and a full time career... It's a struggle. Seeing as how this map is a free release as an appreciation of 10 years of storm chasing on Garry's Mod, I feel not meeting a deadline is literally the least of all problems.

See you on Discord.

Howdy, been a while since we last made any announcements.

Started to use Hammer again, after a few months of mapping vacation. Been having issues with a slow dying Seagate drive that maxes at 1MB/s so mapping has been slow. And then valley and highway_2014 got corrupted, which took a while to fix.

We will be updating the content packs over the next few weeks so the first few updates will likely have some sound bugs and missing textures. It wont be instant, updates will come when I have time to upload a working version.

NOTE: We still use EP2/HL2/CSS for textures, make sure you have the games. Nightfall uses CSS for most of it.

Papa Bless.

Due to other development focuses for the GMSC Community that are not to be discussed at this time, I have decided to bring on another mapper (or two at most) to help develop Tornado Valley 2017. If you have ever wanted to add your name to the GMSC series, now is your chance.

*This selection is for the production of a single map and MAY OR MAY NOT include future assignments on the official GMSC Mapping Team*

Requirements:
- Previous Mapping Experience
- A Released Map on the Workshop (Can be for ANY Source Engine game. If you worked on the map with other people, you must be the lead mapper)
- Any age may apply, experience is the requirement


If you believe you are capable of assisting with this project, are motivated to be a GMSC Mapper for this project, and meet the above requirements, then here's how to apply:

Use the following google form to complete your application:
https:// goo . gl/ forms/ O1tMhs404YJurNxC2
(REMOVE THE SPACES)


We will accept applications through August 21st.
A mapper will be chosen by August 25th



PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone should apply if they want to partake. We are not looking for the BEST mapper. We are looking for the mapper who fits what we want to see in our map.

The GMSC Team WILL NOT RESPOND to comments to this post.

You may give your suggestions in the comments below, however, this map is being developed with FUNCTIONALITY in mind, and not QUALITY.

Updates will be given on this announcement until major progress has been made warranting a full announcement.

Official work has been started on the rebooted version of the released version of Tornado Valley! Work has only just begun, and no date for release has been given.

Your voices have not gone unheard.

Tornado Valley was extremely unstable due to releasing the map in a hurry as a donor-funded project. Tornado Valley 2017 will not be funded, and will not be rushed as to release a quality product similar to Highway 2014.

The focus on Tornado Valley 2017 will be optimization first, and details second. Heavy emphasis on alternating terrain (low spots, high points, etc) followed by building placement.

The majority of the map will remain undisturbed so players can drive and build in many places. Here are the planned features and their current progress rates:

Gas Station (10%) (Now a truck stop instead of a small shack)
Farm House (0%) (Brand New Design)
Weather Station (75%)
Radio Station (90%)
Tornado Track System (10%)
Tornado Implementation (0%)
Sheriff's Department (0%)
Dusty Trails Trailer park (0%)

The progress rates will be updated in future announcements.
