I see nothing wrong if this is the result you were after when you began.

I also see nothing more noteworthy than a decently made Duke Nukem map either. Still not a bad thing considering how much fun I had playing and building maps for that engine.

What I would like to see is several shots with the r_speeds turned on.. (I assume this is the HL1 engine? If not then I'll settle for the FPS)

My only comment, and this one is superficial.. Your street layout looks like you took a bunch of cardboard boxes and lined them up flush with each other and painted buildings on them. Even cartoon buildings rarely line up so flush. Stagger them.

I still think it's rather cartoony lookin' :razz:

The sky in particular adds that effect -- it's one, big, flat, color.

:razz:

Overall, it seems to be nice looking. I think the lighting is a bit too similar in too many areas (shadows don't look harsh enough in relation to the light, but that's just my lighting preference really)

The center of the streets looks a bit empty though. Once again: needs a bit more cover in my opinion.

I tried "Blunt" and "Hinting"

I suppose there must be a center ground. I will just quote you hence forth. Can't get much more centered than that.

I played Davroplex.. Can't say I see any resemblance. If anything, the buildings look Dukish. All flat fronted.

Anyone remember that mapper Davros? Made Davroplex and a Dr. Who map as well. Anyways this map looks like his style.

Slowly?

It seems I have no choice but to manage as best as I can. It is a decidedly different life style than I was used to.

I had 1.5mbs DSL until this year.

I cry myself to sleep every night. Speaking of which..

Nite-Nite everyone..
/me goes to bed.
