Any comments?
<br>Screens updated.
Whoa... calm down. Ever hear of a "wink" before? It looks sorta like this:
@ Orpheus:
Thanks, appreciated.
@ AtM:
I shall, thank you.
I actually can't think of anything else I've got to add. I'll compile it fully and see how it looks... do a careful search for any bugs that need resolving, or things that should be moved.... and that should be it. Might come out tomorrow.

That's the right attitude. Keep it up.

As does your whole map.
Honesty is one thing bud, bashing is another.
So far, this guy has been stand up decent.
I don't mind bashing when the author is being a prick but... I think you overstepped yourself this once.
course.. who am I, but the worse example of "good judgment calls"

If I meant "shelves" I would've wrote the word "shelves". They are deli display fridges. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. They also look pretty stupid being in a computer room. As does your whole map.

and we want to see doorframes next time " SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
You mean those "shelves" in the "computer room"?
I will release it... agreed, some may not enjoy it... but I wouldn't like to waste so much time working on it... if one person plays and enjoys it, that's good enough for me.
I also agree with this sort of being a test map; I started on it VERY
early on, and thus had to redo many sections where I screwed up. But in
making this I learned a ton about Hammer, and I'll be glad to put that
new knowledge to use on my next map. Again, thanks for the input.Posted by Spartan on Sat May 28th 2005 at 2:49pm
Why are there deli display fridges in the living room???

The first real thing I ever tried to map was my own house by memory. It's on my profile, but I never even considered releasing it. I treated it as a way to gain experience. I would have to agree with Orph. I mean -- this map is carried by props. And while it's probably really cool to run around your friend's house in HL2, I doubt anyone who didn't know zakk would enjoy playing it. Time to think about the things you've learned during this map, and then apply your new knowledge to a more ambitious project. Perhaps a true DM map, with an original location, and a layout specifically designed for DM.
I mean, you can go ahead and release it, but don't expect it to be played by many or in any servers.
I'm still interested in seeing updated screenshots reflecting the changes you've made to the house.
Good luck with your next project.

.You... are much to kind.
I firmly believe that we all need confidence boosters. It can go a long ways toward improving ones works. I also feel honesty is always the best course of action as well.
This map, (based on the screens alone) is not releasable material. It is obvious you put a lot of work into its creation but it should be consigned to the hidden places of your hard drive designated for "teaching tools"
Do not release this, you may regret it later.
But then again, look at my earlier works. I am not a good example, or am I? I did release 9 pieces of s**t after all.
