Coffee Shop City 4714
This map, which is an addon map for Gmod, allows you to freely move around inside a coffee shop modeled after a real one, shoot videos or take photos, and use your favorite addons. It is equipped with Navmesh and other features necessary for using addons and existing AI nodes like NEXTBOT, allowing you to create many experiences and memories in this cozy and atmospheric space.
Feature
This map's feature is its original custom models and textures. With over 30 3D-modeled custom models, this map aims to make the interior more realistic. You can see many essential items such as tables, chairs, shelves, dishes, spoons and forks, and even a Japanese-style toilet, which will give you a slightly different feel from regular GMOD. Additionally, there are custom wall textures and posters with custom textures. The posters reproduce real items found in the shop. You will also be able to find Easter eggs from a map I previously created. In other words, this map is related to that map, and it is expressed through textures.
I forgot to mention, but I have also reproduced pedestrians. The NPCs are the usual ones from HL2, but I have used entities and the I/O system to make it look like pedestrians are walking outside the shop. Yes, it can be a bit scary if there are no people outside at all.
Background
The background of creating this map involves a suggestion from the owner of a coffee shop I frequent. We often talk about me creating maps and sharing them online while I drink coffee at this shop. The owner, who understands this well, suggested to me, "Why not make a map of this shop?" He highly praised a map I had created in the past called "Midnight Hunt - Target of Assassination" and he thought it would be interesting to create a virtual space of this shop in the map, saying it could be an interesting world for the shop's fans. I thought to myself, "Indeed, this is an interesting attempt." If the streets and shops of the real world could become mods, you could wreak havoc or do whatever you want without bothering others. With this in mind, I began working on the map experimentally.
Additionally, I purchased 2DCAD software and other texture software to improve my development skills. Since I was a beginner with 2DCAD software, it took me quite a while to get used to it, and I had to buy a textbook, so I couldn't turn back once I started designing. Especially with consideration for the dimensions of Hammer and Blender 3D, the map creation process was stressful and pressured than ever before. However, I believe this experience has elevated me to a new stage.
About Model
This map is modeled after a coffee shop founded in 1985 in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan (City 4714). The founder passed away a few years ago, and his son now runs the shop as the second-generation owner. It is located in an alley off the main street in the city center, like a hidden gem of a coffee shop. The shop has many core fans and is always full of regular customers. However, this recreated map was made to reproduce the inside of the building and is not intended for promotional purposes for the shop. As evidence, the original menu does not list prices, and the menu itself is considerably smaller than the actual size.
Enjoy the calm and relaxing atmosphere of the space ;)
