This is definitly your most promising project, so far! Looks like a fun theme.

Please post screens with lighting calculated as soon as possible. It's hard to get a feel of what it's going too look like in a fullbright compile.

Posting stuff in the maps forum only makes sense if we can at least forefeel what the map might become once it's finished. My comment was almost entirely about the description, maybe the texture theme. A quick light compile shouldn't take much more than a few minutes and is worth it if you want any feedback at all.

Lighting is an essential part of your map just as brushes, texturing and item placement. You should have an idea for what lighting to use (evening, night, noon... maybe torches for the medieval theme). And for screenshots the visual aspects are quite important. We can't guess what you have in mind, we need a lighting compile. It also gives your map depth so you can tell the size and shape of things easier.

It's worth it. Please do a lighting compile. I bet it's less than 15 minutes.

Well, this already looks a whole lot better!

The green-ish fog looks surprisingly good. But is this as dark as it seems? Looks like you have to turn your flashlight on to see anything.

Try adding more lights, and give them a color (warm lights from fire or torches would fit imo).

A screen that shows the bigger scale of this map would be nice also. These are very small parts and it's hard to tell how the map is built up as a whole!

Please consider adding more light to places like this.

As a rule of thumb: People will find your map to be about 2 or 3 times as dark as you do!

So if you already start with a pitch-black room, you're probably making a mistake!

I know that you want to force people to used the flashlight and such (very well done in Episode 1!) but never forget, this is a multiplayer map. It means people play it at different times and cannot really control when a server changes to it.

As a result people will be forced to play the map a daylight. Reflections in the monitor, badly configured too dark screens, ect, ect. People will leave the server and have bad memory of your map if they can't see anything for any reason at all.

Add some torches! You can leave two or three dark corners but you won't regret lighting the place up a bit. I bet.

Well, I have a suggestion: Make the roofs of that house hang over the walls a bit. I don't think roofs like that would ever seem up perfectly with the walls :/


Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it
