What, you thought I *wouldn't* be making a set of 4-team melee maps for #tf2c? Oh sweet summer child. The MFW train has no brakes.

Believe it or not, I *do* make non-wrasslin #TF2 maps. Right now on my break from sprite making, I'm building a 6-stage A/D map based on the very first #Sonic game.

@mattmcmuscles.bsky.social Have you considered doing a Worst Fighting Game episode on Battle Monsters for the Sega Saturn? I was doing a deep dive on Sega lore and came across this obscure game. It looks atrocious.

Look who came to us for cuddles this morning!

Dulia Chai, aka "The Footie Monster," us both our cuddliest and most violent cat

Graha Tia, aka "Rummy Tum Tum," is usually patrolling the house when he isn't being a silly boy

Yshtola, aka "Booger," is our unrepentant troublemaker

Taking a break from sprite making to put these guys in my maps. Gotta say, they're looking good! If you want YOUR OC in these maps, DM me!

The rest of my dumb maps are getting quite the diverse cast of characters too. Still lots of opportunities to get your #OC in there if you want!

Even though they're cheap placeholder people, seeing these maps with a population in the crowd is giving me *all the seratonin* today

And yes, these spots are still open! If you want your OCs in these maps, DM me!

WE HAVE functional sprite work in my TF2 maps!

.... which renders over models, but I'm sure I can find a way to fix that

And yes, YOU or your OC, Fursona, whatever, can be one of these placeholder YCHs. DM me if you want in

Blue team's "spawnroom," which is just a resupply locker strapped to the flat deck of a semi trailer

The first vehicle, and staging area of the first flag. Its a double-wide wrestling ring on top of a large vehicle with tank treads

Two of the vehicles that players must jump to and from in the first section of the map. One is long and flat, the other is much wider, and carrying giant construction concrete cylinders.

The first capture zone, taking place atop three sea cans, travelling side by side. Four posts and three sets of hazard tape on the top create a makeshift wrestling ring on top of the sea cans.

PD Meleemania is finally taking shape! Hop on the roller coaster to ride up to the great big ring in the middle, and claim the high ground to dominate the map! Mark your calendars, the first build is on the way for April 2027!
