This is a a discussion topic for the map "Octavarium" by KD007 which can be found here

Map description:

A giant (really, really huge) reactor-like room with a powerful laser in the center.

[THIS MAP IS STILL BEING MADE. NO DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE]

I need your help. I didn't add many entities yet. Based on the screenshots (I will do my best to capture EVERYTHING), give me ideas on what goes where. Entities are my weak spot in mapping. Can't wait to finish this!

Map screenshots:

Screenshots for: Octavarium Ver. 4

Oh yeah, I made lasers with corresponding colors. That way the colors look like they belong there. I'm going to update the description and screenshots soon. This map is getting close to its release.

RELEASED!
Please host this map in your server with the sound. The map loses the 'Octavarium' field without it!!!!

I kept dying every time I loaded it up. I only could check out what I could see while in death-cam mode. Looked alright, but I couldn't tell what the place was. I don't know what an 'Octavarium' is besides a large open space with 8 sides I suppose.

the music made it though. it was really nice. -Did you make that yourself?

Looks like a fun large kill-box-ish type map, but I couldn't tell you if I enjoyed it or not cause I would die instantly.

[EDIT]: Let me put it this way: It's a kill-box, and unless it's given a major re-haul on layout or what-not, it probably won't become anything greater than that. For those of you who find killboxes 'fun' then here's another steak for the dogs. But for seasoned, cooked meat I would look elsewhere.

Consider this map a test, and maybe start a new one with more design-thought put into it. No offense, just killboxes aren't real 'levels' if you catch my drift. smiley

Not a KillBox. Has more than one section.
