This is a a discussion topic for the map "coastal_refuge" by CrapinaBottle which can be found here

Map description:

This is my first official map that I am going to release. It is set on an island near the coast. Still working on texturing and models for the map. Part of the aim for the map is that it's dark and creepy, but stll enough light so you will rarely use your flashlight. Still working on story, mostly for personal enjoyment right now. Please give me lots of feedback. Any sort of criticism is welcome.

3 shots of 1 building? <br> <br>Well, I'd work on making the building more fleshed out. Set the windows back... think about adding pillars to the outside. Add AC units, power cables, stains and decals.

I think it's to early to really give any feedback at all. If this is really just a 5% state, then it looks quite ok for now. <br> <br>The most striking attribute I noticed is that it's _very_ symmetrical, even for a basic layout. Break up the areas into a more diverse layout, not only concentrate on the building in the middle. Make sure the area around it is as interesting as the building itself. This is something you should already consider in the early planning phase because it's hard to change later. <br> <br>Play with lighting to establish a more unique atmosphere. Use warm and cold lighting contrast (orange, yellow, green, blue, white) and make the player move towards the warm-lit areas. Use spotlights and many little lights ect. to get brighter spots that bring some diversity to the rather dark and blue looking walls, floors and ceilings.
