Map Description

This has been a real pleasure to build for me. I've used a totally custom texture set and I think the architechure also fits the surroundings nicely. I'm about a third of the way through building it, and would like some feed back on what I've done so far.

Update
Have begun working on this map again, hope to finnish and release it (!) Currentley upgrading the arcitechures and improving layout. New screenies soon.

I've made some real progress with it, its getting close to completion. New pics have also been added.

I hear what your saying, I always have troubl thinking how to make my architetecture more detailed tho. I don't want to rush and ruin my map, so it won't be an entry into the contest, even tho it is the last one.

I love some of your textures and hate others, particularly the outside wall around the van - what are those random blocks? I think you could do with some more detailed architecture at the ceilings in particular, they all seem to be flat surfaces judging from the screenshots. I also agree with Myrk's earlier point to a degree - some of the interiors could benefit from less coloured lighting, as at the moment a lot of it feels too yellow.

But those aside, you have done a good job on your custom textures for the most part, and the theme is certainly working. Is this going to be your entry for the contest?

I'm getting their now :smile: , but compile times have reached 90 minutes plus :sad: So I have to put alot of new stuff to warrant each new compile. Have a lookie at some new screen shots and tell me what you think:

This one above shows the teleporter room (not finnished yet) and joins onto the 'spinning jennies' room.

This one is of the libary, which will connect the outer and inner rooms together. Theres a secret in here.

The van, unfinnished as of yet, will have weapons and other supplies in it. Opinions welcome, as before.

I like the green lights in the stairs. Keep up the good work, matt, this is one to look forward to.

Thanks, that pic is real crappy compared with the rest of the map so far. I'm still in the very early beta stage, so It'll be a while until its done.
