The CSGO workshop is home to thousands of community-made custom maps that don’t necessarily make it to the official game. However, CSGO fans who are eager to try new experiences can play on these maps at will by downloading them directly from the community workshop.
CSGO workshop artists Geno and Squeezit have recently launched a community map that is catching the eyes of fans worldwide, and it seems to be heavily inspired by the Indian holy city of Varanasi.
The map, named ‘Dharma‘, is currently a work in progress but is still available to download from the Steam community workshop.
A quick glance at the map reveals that it’s set near the shores of the Ganga in India, with the stairs descending into the river. According to the map description by the creators themselves, the ‘Dharma’ map “is based on an old town along the ghats of holy Ganges.”
In the short span since the map has been released, ‘Dharma’ has managed to win the hearts of CSGO fans throughout the globe. The overwhelmingly positive response that the map has received from the community is certain to encourage the map developers into developing the map even further.
Here are the things that the map developers are currently working on:
- Accurate radar
- Optimization
- Tertiary details and visual enhancements
- Custom Soundscapes
Members of the Steam community are also actively giving their precious input in the workshop comments, helping in the development of the map as it progresses. Some are also requesting Valve to add this map to CSGO as a part of the official map pool.
Whether or not this map makes its way to the official CSGO maps’ list still remains to be seen. Meanwhile, fans can choose to play ‘Dharma’ with their friends by creating custom games.
