That's great news, if you ever start on a new map, make sure to keep it as large and as detailed as zf_asylum, admiring the atmosphere and hiding in your map is one of the greatest thrills as a survivor.
I find it's the best zombie fortress map when it comes to quality, theme, atmosphere and gameplay, zf_dustbowl being the second, but zf_dustbowl has a terrible skybox and is just a modified version of cp_dustbowl, so it loses points for that in my book.
Constructive Criticisms;
I would suggest you playerclip some secluded parts of the roof as they are easily camped,
because explosive classes can rocket/sticky jump on top with ease and never be reached by zombies.
another note would be that the indoors balcony under the bell is also easily camped by survivors, I would try adding another way into it.
maybe make it so the roof above it is breakable? I don't know it's all up to you.
Non Essential Suggestions;
It would be amazing if you could find a way to make it so engineers can fix the wooden boards and doors with their wrenches, I highly doubt it's possible but it would be astonishing.
Breakable walls are always a nice addition against strong camping places, as they offer the possibility of camping spots for survivors, which they enjoy, but offer zombies a future way to their demise, which they enjoy, and it might force survivors to eventually evacuate and find another new temporary camping spot, which follows my whole "on the move" ideology.
My ideology:
The map is large, it gives the survivors an option to run or hide or camp, which is a real nice because it breaks apart the whole "survivors need to camp" "zombies try and get them" "survivors get overrun/survivors turtled successfully" rinse repeat dilemma.
Being stealthy and always being on the move in my opinion is actually funner and your map is the only map that currently allows players to do this.
I eagerly await the future versions of your map(s), I can't wait to try them!
