I'm the one who mapped that subway level they have in the media section. It was the first map I ever made, so the criticism is well taken, the constructive ones anyways. As darkness goes, I can see detail on those shots just fine. Your monitor might have a low brightness setting. I'm not trying to cover up brushwork, I spent a ton of time with geometry in that map. I would post the bsp, but the admin for the mod would probably not like that, so send me a PM if you want it. The subway section had somewhat yellow lighting throughout to give it a moody atmosphere, and I didn't get any complaints about it until now. The sewer section was really a rush-job and I'm surprised they released it as media, and the green lighting is admittedly overboard, I just tried to make some creepy atmosphere. As far as it being the best mapping work, it's actually the only stuff we have so far. That brings me to this:

When the mod first came out, we requested dev members and got a flood of applicants. Since then at least half have become inactive or dropped out. I love the mapping that comes out here at Snarkpit, so is anybody here willing to contribute? You can work as much or as little as you want.

coge balas, I recommend you PM specific members to get their attention better. You can start with the members I mentioned to you earlier. [addsig]

"This map was ahead of its time."

I will maintain that Eden is trash until the day I die. How such blocky terrain, complete with overscaled textures and sparse mockeries of foliage - not to mention blocky brushwork in general - can be considered in any way appealing is just beyond me.

If Eden was ahead of its time, then I don't ever want to see the maps that came before it.

? quoting Finger
Another example of this is the HL2 map dm_depot. I saw on the steam forums that this map was featured in a major gaming magazine - touted 'the best user made map yet'. The map is beautiful and definately has great atmosphere, but far from the best user made map. Oh well, for me, the real reward is seeing one of my maps accepted into tourneys and such. If the hardcore players buy it - you've done something right.

Yeah Finger mate, I saw that 'the best user made map yet' comment too. Might have been PC Gamer UK, can't remember though. Probably someone from the mag glancing through the official Steam forums seeing all the "this map rocks dude!" comments from the dm_depot fanboys there.

I just joined up with the rogue threat team, as a mapper. hope this mod dosn't go the way of so many others...

I've been on so many MOD teams that simply just stop. It would be nice to get something done.
