Gmod Maps That Go EVEN DEEPER

In this sequel episode of Where Are We Now, we're diving deep down into some more creepy Garry's Mod maps that just keep descending. Expect eerie exploration, liminal spaces and unnerving mysteries. Also I forgot to credit several things in regards to the maps covered in the credits. Everything is in order here in the description, though.

Vacant Industry was a lovely map I was inspired by previous episodes in this series to go exploring myself with my friends, it's such a beautiful map with a beautiful sense of scale that had us asking so many questions! Lovely work, man!

[@Arkantrol]

Vacant industries was an amazing map, with some truly inspiring environmental design and worldbuilding. Truly great work.

[@fark1751]

vacant industry would make a KILLER standalone game

[@LambentV]

The oversized bathrooms are funny to me because they’ve always been a reoccurring motif in my dreams. Either a home restroom will be the size of the backyard or a public restroom will be the size of a football field with hundreds of stalls inside. Its so strange and I have no idea why it keeps happening.

[@Miss_Rydia]

I never had that in dreams until I heard about it online, and now I can't escape the unending, poorly-designed public restroom that's become a recurring setpiece in my dreams.

[@donofbran]

means you gotta pee more

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

I have dreams like that, too. They're always made to be as unpleasant as possible, though, like they're designed to make you uncomfortable. I'm talking stalls with two toilets type of vibes. Even in dreams that are otherwise just random bullshit there's so often just a fucked up bathroom in there somewhere.

[@dragon80l]

[@philiplooney6969]

Please never stop doing this, I take extreme comfort in knowing that I’m not the only person who just delves themselves into maps like these. Mostly because of the fact I find the atmosphere of emptiness both warm and off-putting at the same time.

Vacant industry is my favorite psuedo-adventure-sandbox map, I may be biased cause one of my friends composed the music when first entering the facility, but I LOVED going through this place, so much so that I felt dirty using noclip on this map because of how much atmosphere it oozes.

[@GameDevYal]

I love the new intro cinematics / title cards for each map, it's a way more cinematic experience now! And while the Steam mod pages made it very viscerally clear these things exist and can be downloaded by anyone that's interested instead of JUST being cool mysterious things, it's probably the right choice going forward since not every game has a direct counterpart (as you pointed out in the first VRChat video).

[@loganfromearth]

Speaking of going to the great depths, you should do a video about games like iron lung or barotrauma, those two touch that feeling of exploring a dangerous place where you are out of your element, sometimes completely vulnerable

I agree with your favorite part being the atrium at the bottom. It is the proudest part of it for me as well! This may motivate me to make more maps in the future!

Only 5 minutes into the video and this whole rant about dwarves and their gem scent and ungodly tweaker strength is fucking cracking me up

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

18:29 The Thing is a great movie, but I gotta say the one scene where they're doing the test to see who is and isn't The Thing by burning drops of their blood is pretty dumb. Like testing everyone's blood and all is well and good, but when you're tying people up to do a Thing Test, you should A. not tie them together and B. untie them as soon as they pass the test. Because if you don't do those two things you end up with part of your remaining, living crew tied to a Thing, which is what happened and probably should not have happened.

[@apersonontheinternet8354]

Never really considered the idea of a map going deeper and deeper to stick out, but they always tend to fascinate me when maps do that. Not gmod, but one that comes to mind is Hollow Knight. Won't say how deep it goes or what is at the bottom, but there is a ton of amazing world building and storytelling with their map that goes down, and down, and down

[@yurisignal2574]

I'm glad that the Freeman's Mind version of John Freeman (Who is Gordon Freeman's brother) makes gmod exploration videos

[@randomk_]

I feel like this is a really special kind of series, one that hits home, like when you're going through stressful situations in life and end up rewarding yourself with a comforting experience, such as your favorite game, album, or videos like these. The maps and your perceptions, insights and chain of thoughts in general spark so much curiosity and interest on what has been built, what is being built and leaves us to wonder what shiny new things may be released in the future. Thank you, Mr. Skeleton Logan Man ❤

[@pvtcheesecake3731]

Hey Logan, I've been going through some losses in life right now, and your videos and your voice have been really helpful to me, these map exploration videos just hit that special niche of mine that no other KZbinr can fill. Appreciate the great content man, and I can't wait for the next video.

[@loganfromearth]

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad that my videos and this community can being you some comfort. Much love.

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

27:48 I appreciate the Freeman's Mind reference there.

[@devanmauch7843]

sgmod has so many maps that encapsulates the feeling I want to feel when in a horror scenario- even if unintended, the uneasiness of being inside the house just looking out into the endless field, EVEN in broad daylight...it doesn't feel right. Same goes for the majority of maps but it's especially true for when it doesn''t seem like it's intended to be a horror setting. And as far as I know, only gmod can make me feel that way. Love it.

I love gmod map videos. Litterly the most emotionfilling maps out of any game

[@Pemble_]

I find Liminal spaces like these weirdly comforting. My mental 'safe space' is an abandoned public pool entirely enshrouded in darkness (so much so that it could easily be subterranean). It's all shimmering sheets of light reflecting off of waves undulating and lapping at the edges, but also orange lighting forming pockets of warmth, as well as mattresses scattered throughout. The changing room showers hide tiled corridors that zigzag down into the bowels of the earth, the water from the shower heads cascading down the steps into an endless labyrinth. There's something about the absolute isolation that I find incredibly soothing, as someone who struggles with people. The abrupt contrast of cool, wet concrete and the warmth of various little sheet nests results in a fluctuation of cool winds whipping past me and the staccato rays of warmth beating against my skin

[@loganfromearth]

That's interesting since my own mind palace is a slightly dilapidated shack on a plateau, overlooking an expanse of wilderness. A similarly lonely place but it's comfy.
