yeah, smaller screenshots are the preferred ones, we have a contingent of 56k users ( i was one til a few months ago!) in our midst

theres a jpeg optimising tool here http://www.irfanview.com/ - good for resizing and optimising file size in Kb as well.

read me before posting:
Posting map screenshots? Please make them at most 800x600 in size, and as small a filesize as possible! Try irfanview for a program that'll 'optimize' your image size for faster downloading.

Hes the type of person that complains to the hotel hes staying at after walking into a door that has PULL written on it... hehe

Looks like a nice map, although as Reno said I think or maybe ferret, it does look stale. Theres something about the lighting too, its rather plain and mono, try adding some red bits here and there or something, or putting some red in the sky to contrast.

not really, i never complain really

anyway, i am very sure that red would kill the color scheme in this map (i'm an art school student, trust me on this one ). i am not changing this anymore.

i submitted the map for the contest, but it was a little late so i guess it has not been accepted. i wish good luck to all contestants, voted for paralaxation (sp?) as winner, runner-up reno's flatshaded map. have to admit, both are better than my map, but since i only spent about 12 hours totally on this map, that's no shame. so yeah good luck, and hopefully some of you will enjoy this map after all. try it. when i played it it was far from stale. everybody's circling around, jumping like crazy, gauss-boosting all over the place. the pool in the middle heals you a bit, so some people did try to stand there and defend the place but that's quite hard. beh just give it a try.... *please*

Very interesting architecture/layout. But I do think you want a tad overboard with the sprites. A few hanging around in inaccessable areas gives a nice atmosphere, but you sent it to a level of annoyance and it might even cause noticable performace problems in more archaic computers. <br> <br>Overall though, the texturing was done well and the layout was pretty cool.

I think the sky could be a blue-scale version of what you've got currently and it'd be a great theme.

I'll think about that, thanks guys. I will remove some sprites, just put that on my fixlist. I'll consider what to do with the skyline as well. Thanks again for the feedback.

Have you considered entering this into the contest? It just seems you've about finished it and the contest deadline is tomorrow (well, today now I guess) so it might be worth a thought if you have the time to complete it smiley
