I know the map is no longer new (though it is new-ish!). It just seems that the maps forum has gone a little quiet of late - probably due to the impending release of HL2. I don't normally like to pimp my maps but here goes Discuss, rip apart, criticise, praise - whatever I'm planning on a similar kind of map but on a grander scale for HL2 and would like to know what improvements I should think about implementing.

I don't know how you guys do it, My eyes would bleed after making that. Amazing!

Its a stunning map visually, so for style I can think of nothing to criticise. The layout is nice enough but I found myself getting lost and running in circles, but due to the symmetrical layout I was never sure if I was in the same room as before or not. I'd say on your next one make the layout entirely unique so people know where they are and where they are going at all times.

Quite good. Geometric art is always sexy.

Ditto. I got lost very easily.

It really helps in map navigation if there are several "set piece" areas that you can use as land marks

Part of the plan for a new version is to have more unique areas - definitely not symmetrical. Probably going to play on the contrast between the white and black areas - with the black areas being 'outside', and having more of them than the one 'corridor' in dm_pulse. [addsig]

I loved that corridor, it rocked Wasn't too keen on the floaty spinny things in it though, looked outta place to me.

I dunno, the style didn't work for me. It was way too bright for my poor eyes. Perhaps if instead of white there was gray, or more gray colors instead of having the white be so dominant. Another thing that bothered me was that it felt like you were floating instead of walking on the floor, and that was due to the floor being almost exclusively white with nothing there to accentuate it. This would have been fixed if you had extended those black wall supports across the floor, and it would have added some needed detail in some of those hallways. The layout seemed fine enough, and the moving things all over the map looked great. I did think that the r_speeds were way too high for this map, but it's not like that matters these days.

Heh, I had to tone down the 'white' texture as it was even brighter before. It looks white on-screen, but its actually a light shade of grey. Though if you take screenshot, it comes across looking a pastelly (that a word?!) blue! [addsig]

Sounds like you need to set your monitor to 6500k color temperature instead of 9300k. [addsig]

Wow, reminds me somewhat of the Tron game, or the upcoming uber cel-shaded game "Killer 7". Can't wait to see this running smiley

It's not exactly cel-shaded, though it does look it in places. More a use of very few colours (3 to be exact!)
