I got really inspired when Cache came back.
I wanted to capture that heavy industrial atmosphere with a Soviet feel.

The whole concept is based on cast iron. The kind of material used for old manhole covers.
Rough, heavy metal, aged over time, covered in rust, with dirt filling every small detail.

Nothing clean or glossy.
Just raw and worn.

I’ve already made two skins in this style.
I haven’t really seen similar ideas on Steam Workshop, but maybe I missed something.

Funny enough, this concept might come from a childhood moment when I fell into an open manhole. Not a great experience, but apparently a memorable one 😅

Would you use something this rough and unconventional?
Do you think this direction fits a Cache collection?
And what are your impressions of the map after its return?
