damn i am might proud right now

Yeah it is always complicated to have the light that you want. I don't use Gmod a lot but in SFM I usually find a dark map (or just a map in which there is a spot with less light) and I add lights. I think you can do that in Gmod too, but you would need to find a map where it is the night...

criticism is alway appreciated. Thanks for the feedback. I tried to make it look like night but the map took place during the day

Such a romantic place! A dark and dirty alleyway! (Jk I know it is complicated to find the right map ;,))
Good job!
