Ok peeps, I've hit a dead end with development on this. I need some new ideas and some feedback on what I've done so far. The link is:

I don't have time to look now, but hopefully I will in the near future.
But I will say now that you get lots of Gollum-Points(TM) for experimenting with a novel theme 
How bout cell-shading?

[addsig]cell-shading would be good, but It would take me forever to do the bits I've done and I don't really know anything about it anyway. I know someone wrote a tutorial for it a while back, so I'll take a look at. Keep 'em coming!

Looks very funky
Inside bits are mostly green/brown, needs more colour variation - reds, purples.
The road and buildings/walls with that grey tex is too drab, could do with some cartoon-like skyscrapers or other buildings, street signs etc.
I would make the road loop around onto itself into a circle so theres no dead ends, it would also allow some more exit points from below ground onto the road.

im just curious as to how you got your pic size thru the "resizing"...please please try and keep them a bit smaller sir....it reframes the whole damn thread....800x600 seems to work pretty well, and it keeps the file size to under 100kb as well....
btw, cool look to your map....i'd like to see it when its complete...
Doc Brass...

| it looks good for a sort of paint map. although on the road when it goes from paint wall to origanall hl texture and then back to a paint texture doesnt look that fetching but overall it looks realy good |
I'll have you know all my textures were professionally crafted by yours trully.

I'm getting their now , but compile times have reached 90 minutes plus 
So I have to put alot of new stuff to warrant each new compile. Have a lookie at some new screen shots and tell me what you think:
This one above shows the teleporter room (not finnished yet) and joins onto the 'spinning jennies' room.
This one is of the libary, which will connect the outer and inner rooms together. Theres a secret in here.
The van, unfinnished as of yet, will have weapons and other supplies in it. Opinions welcome, as before.
[addsig]I love some of your textures and hate others, particularly the outside wall around the van - what are those random blocks? I think you could do with some more detailed architecture at the ceilings in particular, they all seem to be flat surfaces judging from the screenshots. I also agree with Myrk's earlier point to a degree - some of the interiors could benefit from less coloured lighting, as at the moment a lot of it feels too yellow.
But those aside, you have done a good job on your custom textures for the most part, and the theme is certainly working. Is this going to be your entry for the contest?
