Micahs Mapping Services
Hello, I am Micah. Some of you may have seen me around, however, if you don't know who I am or what I do please look below!
About Me
I am Micah. I have been doing source level design since 2016 but am recently getting back into it again! I've been within the GMOD community for around 8 years now and love everything about it. I do own my own server, but we won't get into that here. I have done many maps over the years, some small, some large. I can essentially do anything within hammer itself, I know it like the back of my hand. Optimization is something I take pride in and something I prioritize. I am also very persistent in keeping the customer up to date on progress with the map and I won't leave you out in the blue.
Some Ground Rules
My prices do vary, but I am fair. This meaning, I won't complete an entire full scale map for $50. So don't waste my time with it. However, I am reasonable with my prices as I am a server owner myself so I know what it's like to be in your shoes. When adding me, be prepared to talk business and preferably have a concept laid out for me so I can begin as soon as possible! Please have a payment method in mind! I will be requesting a sum up front. (depending on how large the project is, who you are, and what your rep is)
How to contact me
There are two methods of contacting me. You can either add me on steam by visiting my profile here https://steamcommunity.com/id/DRPMicah
or alternatively you can add me on discord at Micah#9954 I personally prefer discord but either one works. But please note, when adding me on steam be sure to leave a comment letting me know you're adding me for a mapping job, otherwise I may not accept.
Portfolio
This is the core of downtown in an edit I completed. It's nothing special but it does a great job of displaying the lighting, shadows, and some tiny changes I made.

Now for the good stuff
This was part of an edit I performed for a Nazi role-play server.
This was the spawn section.

I also edited this map to support a dynamic day/night system complete with functioning lights that only toggle on at night (two screenshots below)

Downtown area of map lit up at night.

This was a little mountain house project I just completed. This map features many things such as wonderful lighting and shadows, flickering light coming from the fire to add realism, and those notorious mountain home windows (which I love)

This is a nice Entrance to a club I made. I am quite proud of what I achieved with the subtle blue lighting.

Now this, This is something that took some time. Getting the lighting to be perfect, the reflections to be perfect, and making the atmosphere perfect was something I feel accomplished about. Originally, this was just going to be a rather simple highrise apartment, but it later became this. This is something I am most proud of.

I look forward to working with you guys and I can't wait to begin! Thank you for taking the time to look over my post.
Aye this version of downtown is pretty sick. This is a very nice map you made!!

Thank you guys so much! It means a lot.
The Highrise Apartment looks very nice!
How much time approximately, do you take to make these amazing maps?
I'll be reacquiring your services soon if your available :)

It depends on the scale of the project. With the highrise apartment, it took me around 3 weeks to complete because I was quite busy at the time and I really wanted to have the lighting be perfect as well as the reflections. However, with the downtown edit I completed it in just 12 days as I worked around the clock to get it prepared for the customer. I managed to squeeze around ~140 hours of work in that small time frame.

Awesome! I am readily available when you are. I look forward to it.
I was never dedicated enough to learn mapping at all, nice maps though, good luck with any customers :)

(sorry for the bump, but I haven't updated this thread in a year)
I've sent you a request on discord :)
Great work! Just curious, where do you find your textures and models? Are they custom?
Would not recommend!
He agreed to do customizations to an unfinished map we have. After going through the specifics and transfering the map files he asked for a $150 deposit. After transferring the $150, he promised to show progress after one week, but his excuse was that there was a power outage so he was unable to work on the map for a couple of days.



After that he ceased all contact with my team.
A team member actually managed to reach him through steam a couple of weeks later and his excuse was that he had attempted to contact me by the email linked to my Gmodstore account, but did not receive a response. He had lost access to his Discord account.

I do not have an email linked to my Gmodstore account, and he has not attempted to send me a message me or my team on any platform.
its a very fun drama
