I don't have any twist or theme and I can't think of a decent one. If I could think of one I'd enter the competition. Open to any suggestions!

Few more suggestions...



Hath thy map been cleaved asunder by the axe of doom?! I think you could use some stuff above the upper limit of the map.



You have done some here I see, but its barely noticeable from down below, I had to noclip up to see what it was. Also, I felt some of the techy textures looked out of place amongst your aged concrete ones. I think you should pick one "theme" and stay with it, they don't mix too well.



Definate spinkification needed. I know you know this, but I wanted a chance to use the word



This wall is an abrupt and unlikely end to the area - perhaps try something that looks less "s**t I don't know what to put here!". I'm inclined to suggest rockwork, but then I'm ALWAYS inclined to suggest rockwork. It could however allow you to mingle it in with some detail above the current top line of the level.



I was thinking that the upper level feels too seperate from the rest of the map, and when up there the only way down is through one of two distant exits or a big drop. To make it feel less isolated, you could link up the inner wall with your skylight, where the crosshair is (and obviously the same on the other wall).



If you did that you could change your grates to little water pools, to stop fall damage. It may be worth considering this anyway to be honest, as dropping is one of the best ways down from the top level.

Nicer changes anyway, but where is this "I Love Reno" sign Myrk mentioned, I searched for ages [addsig]

Thanks again for the feedback with pretty pictures!

I was going to go around the whole top rim with rockwork but the r's are close to 1000 up top already and I got 1150 in a hot spot on the bottom floor.

I couldn't find any un techy textures that I liked for that area. Just have to look harder I guess.

I'll try and connect the skylight to the top level, see how it works out. Very good idea, I was trying to think of ways to connect to the top of the stairs

Ps:

Since Zombie is on a computer which my brother literally stole from me, I'd be glad to offer my texturing services to this one. Some crazy architecture, and with such smooth lighting - I love it.

I wanted to say it was too dark, but in Reno's screenshots the lighting is pretty good (is there a tweak i'm not aware of?). Other than that, it's a very interesting architecture, but it could use some mechanical entities like elevators or doors. The map is too quiet

Good job A_S

I had my gamma and brightness pretty high - 3 and 4 respectively - so my screenshots aren't very indicative of the actual lighting.

I bribed- *ahem*

Cassius and I have decided to work in tandem creating this map for the competition like a pair of freakish but sexy co-joined twins. Check out the screenshots displaying his sweet delicious textures!

Good job guys, I like Replace that rust texture asap though, looks out of place against the old but not rusty other stuff. I look forward to seeing it in game! [addsig]

Holy s***! Good work. Only suggestion is to tweak that brick-wall; looks strange having brick end so abruptly at the top. Maybe put a trim there or change the texture around a little. Geeze... Cassius should make textures for other people more often.

Not if I can help it he won't! The top section is the last bit that needs real work, not really sure what we're going to do with it yet, but rest assured it won't look so flat for long.

Little niggle - the "base" brick wall, the one at the bottom of most of the walls, begins seemingly halfway up a brick. I'm guessing the texture is larger than the face, and you are using a 1x1 scale and aligning to top - it makes sense and all but I think it would look better if it was scaled to match the wall size. If it already is, then I'm a fool, but it really does look like the bottom bricks are cut short.
