Map Description

This map comes as a minimod since it features some voice-acting. The Playtest was created for a competition at TWHL. I had to make the map in 2 weeks, mostly during my exams, so it has some little flaws, but besides that the map plays well.

As for the competition rules, I had to make a map that featured two talking scientists. I've implemented their talking a bit different from what was suspected...

I know the -full command on VIS, wich I always use, but the -extra command on RAD is something I haven't really investigated yet. I might have tried it out a long while ago but well have forgotten it. Thanks. I really should investigate those compile commands some more...

Yea, on the light exe run -extra at the end, you probably already know this but[ i don't doubt your intelligence] -full on the vis is helpful aswell.

Run -extra.

It's right, architecture isn't really outstanding. I focussed more on gameplay and gameflow. If I had some more time I would've done it different but well, 2 weeks during exams ain't really that much time. But about that, anyone liked to play the map?

Oh, and any suggestions on how to keep the squariness low? Might be handy for future maps... :smile:

Everything in this map is a square, from the textures to the brushwork to the shadows.

Yeah, I think even a generic air vent texture would look a lot better than that weird concrete texture over that curving air duct brushwork. Looks okay though.

Looks pretty cool, although the lighting is fairly bland. I'll play it
when I get a chance, probably be a couple of days though. :smile:
