This Shipwreck has become the Haven of a madman... "Did you bring any apples?" 8-16 Players

When I was considering what my next map would be, I knew I wanted to build something surreal. It is a visual style that is very interesting to me.

The first thing I realized is that to make the map work, I needed some sort of structure in the water. At first I came to the obvious choice, which is a ship. But then i realized that I had seen so many ship maps floating around it just wasn't interesting to me anymore. (Pun Intended) Then I had a great original idea, "What about a capsized boat?"

Having a capsized boat in the map made the map look very interesting, but it allowed a very interesting thing to happen on the inside. Rather than build the inside like any normal structure, I designed the interior to be vertical, as if the ships normal structure remained even though it had been turned on the side. Then I layered ramps so that the player could navigate the map, using the added navigation to look as though it had been added after the shipwreck.

The original version proved to be a great infection map, but I wanted to build a map around the shipwreck design that worked well with all major gametypes. So I began the most intensive reworking of a map I have ever done. The only thing that survived from the original version was the ship itself.

The map now supports all major gametypes as well as having a great layout with more detail than I have ever put in a map. The shipwreck serves as the red teams base and the study on the opposite side of the map is the blue base. The study contains a desk, table, couch, and fireplace. The fireplace double as a man cannon that lifts the player up to the roof. Between the two bases there are three buildings. The building closest to the ship contains the Energy Sword. On the right side of the map there are two structures. The 'Hut' serves as a hub leading out to the different levels and structures as well as leading to the other building that has the shotgun.
