Bastard

Awesome.

It doesnt give a name though. It would be fucked up if they never gave credit. And is it acctualy the one he made, or some rip off?

it is the one he made. I checked the readme.

And upon flicking through the mag that arrived this morning, it's also mentioned in the 'Extra Life' section of the mag.

Falling Water

This isn't just a playable map for HL2, but the architectural study of a famous house in the Pennsylvania woods, nicknamed "Falling Water" by its creator, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Architecture geeks have been hugely excited by the project, which recreates the legendary home using floorplans and photos. As commentator Geoff Manaugh observes: "Architectural schools could instantly boost students' morale if their course orientation packets came with a videogame wherin users go around blowing up anything built by Le Corbusier... Or Space Invaders: The Next Generation, where you defend 100,000 acres of Colorado wilderness from architecturally unimaginitive suburban housing"

And the picture has a caption saying "'Collection of boxes' just didn't have the same ring"

No credit to Kasperg, appart from in the readme.

G4y, if they didn't credit me I'd bitch them till I got 1 million pounds worth of compensation...

Nice job Kasperg.

Are you kidding, they did not credit him (becides the readme) !!!?? Some idiot who picks it up and never reads the readme's will never know who made it....... Sigh.....

But still, Congrats kasperg

Wow. And who reads readme files anyway?

and why couldn't they use kasberg as a name? its just as important in situations like this

Thanks!
I don't know if it's right to sell a DVD with something you haven't made without even contacting the author... Playbus was asked permission before his Day13 map (or 14, was it?) was mentioned in a magazine.

I can't really complain because the house itself is not my design. Still, It would have been great if they had contacted me so I could make a mini comment about the scenario...

The map became famous about two months ago, when it started appearing in multiple gaming and architecture blogs, and eventually in the wikipedia entry for the real house. I've even gotten some emails from architects asking about the map & stuff. I usually tell them Hammer takes some years of practice...

Anyway, whoever plays the map will see my name in at least 3 different places inside the map. I made sure of that!
I wonder what will happen when I release cs_fallingwater, which will be very soon by the way!

get on the PCG podcast and say something about it.

even if it is just PCG US

Hehe yea, whenever I make a map I'm sure to sneak my name / credits in it somewhere

Hey that's pretty cool! Grats Kasperg

You should definitely contact them so you can get some cred for it

man you got lucky! well...i shouldnt say lucky since you did do a superb job on it...but your a lucky guy!!!

God damn, Kasperg! Stop being so amazing!

Very cool!

The Colorado bit is funny because it's sadly so true. Ten years ago we could drive for twenty minutes and be in the foothills with plenty of open space. Now we drive for two hours into the mountains and still see new development. It sucks.

Awesome!
Congrats, Kasperg!

Kasperg wins!!1

Super-congrats to you, even if the bastards didn't bother to credit you, or even drop an email to let you know... o-well, at least they didn;t extricate your readme file!

hey wow, I love that building, I never knew there was a map of it

Well, it's obvious that such a famous building exists in different versions.
Even teh l33t caek!

tasty.

I e-mailed PCG on your behalf, Kasperg..

thanks!
They might contact me and include cs_fallingwater in a future pcgamer dvd, who knows!

Architecture geeks

Haha!

grats!

I write sometimes reviews about "Best css/hl2dm map design" - here them: spring, summer and autumn of 2006. In autumn review a had "dm_fallingwater_rc1" - but then i write review i didn't now who is author - maybe replace this rc1 version with anwer? On cs_ version lights inside building more pleasure.

dude, wth is that:

??? ???? ????? ?? Alex Royce. ???????? ?? ???????, ??????????? ????? - ??????? ???????? ????? ??????????. ???? ????? ?????? ???? ????? ??? CSS-??????????? Zombie Horde, ???????? ????? - dotd_crookcounty. ? ????? ??? ????????? ???????????? ?? ?????? ??????????, ?? ? ??? ???-??.

and we're supposed to read that!?

w00t! Cool.
Congratulations Kasperg

Shame they didn't mention your nick/name (except in the readme?!) :
Bastards.

Why? Sceenshots says about map more, than my small remark
And most maps have links to fpsbanana pages with en description.
If i try to write remarks in eglish - you will die from laughter - my englis is baaad. offtopic ends

Kasperg wikipedia is being gay and wants the source of the architexturel mag and blogs, because it is like that with the sources and all.

i have one thing to say: kasperg is teh god!! lol well done and congrats
