“While we wait for Valve to remake Mirage, I figured I’d give it a try,” the creator says. “Here’s what I did with catwalk!” As you can see in some before-and-after comparison shots they’ve posted on Imgur here, the difference is pretty astonishing. The previously minimalist street scene has been partially remodelled, with the building corner in the section’s centre turned into a rustic brick shelter with decorative awning, hanging plant, and café table with chairs. There’s also a scooter tucked away in the shadows.
As for the building ahead, its previously bare façade has been given a bit of an overhaul, with decorative new windows that look like those seen in Dust 2 and a gate entrance. While it looks very different from live Mirage, the creator says they “remade the basic geometry from the original level exactly,” but “just decorated it differently”.
