Overview[1]
Complex is one of the various maps in Evade. It was released on July 2nd, 2022 in the Pre-Alpha stage, removed on November 26th, 2022 due to bad optimization and a huge amount of lags. It was re-added with new design on October 13th, 2024 within the Overhaul update. It was created by OsterDog and Beefchoplets. It's appearance was inspired by gm_mallparking.
Complex was re-added and reworked in the Overhaul update and did not receive many changes in comparison with other maps, this rework more concerned to an optimization improvement, new textures, and two new vehicles - Miata and Almita. The Complex was a map that had multiple malls and a giant parking lot located below the ground. It was a dark map and the player needed a light source in order to be easier to navigate through it. The Complex had an abandoned, sometimes even liminal feeling to it, because of the empty shelves and broken vehicles that were present in it. The map was divided in two sections: its mall area with many stores, snack bars, cafeterias, corridors and offices, which were remarkable by being a closed area. On the other hand, its second area had a parking lot that had a big size, its floor had some oil marking on it and its space was filled with cars, vans and trucks, some of them were broken. Most of these areas were connected via corridors and staircases, allowing the player to be always in movement.
