Great style and colors. Looking forward to this one.

Wow, reminds me somewhat of the Tron game, or the upcoming uber cel-shaded game "Killer 7". Can't wait to see this running

Freaky, Looks cool m8.

Cel shaded ... nice style.

It's not exactly cel-shaded, though it does look it in places. More a use of very few colours (3 to be exact!)

Wow, that looks very cool indeed, I cant wait to download it when its done.

this looks extremely cool!! I love it

I thought those were drawings O_O

Loving the cartoonish feel to it. Excellent use of three colours.

Omg..you won.

haha.

that is a damn grovey map for origionality.

Very nice. I would have liked to give 5/5.. but.. there is no longjump unit!

I like your map names first of all... They continually give me a feeling that you purposefully referenced them to Pink Floyd.

Also, just getting this map to be visible while using only 3 shades of grey is pretty awesome.

Hate to disappoint you but none of the names reference Pink Floyd (not yet anyway...). Pulse = Mad Capsule Markets, Rampart = John Frusciante, Resonance = Mad At Gravity, Sorrow = Bad Religion, Siberiankiss = Glassjaw, and Heartspark = Everclear

Despite using such few colours, the map remains entirely playable and avoids being confusing, which most interior flatshaded maps fail at. I love this level, one of the most unique and awe-inspiring levels I've come across in the engine.

I know the map is no longer new (though it is new-ish!). It just seems that the maps forum has gone a little quiet of late - probably due to the impending release of HL2. I don't normally like to pimp my maps but here goes :smile: Discuss, rip apart, criticise, praise - whatever :wink: I'm planning on a similar kind of map but on a grander scale for HL2 and would like to know what improvements I should think about implementing.

I don't know how you guys do it, My eyes would bleed after making that. Amazing!

Its a stunning map visually, so for style I can think of nothing to
criticise. The layout is nice enough but I found myself getting lost
and running in circles, but due to the symmetrical layout I was never
sure if I was in the same room as before or not. I'd say on your next
one make the layout entirely unique so people know where they are and
where they are going at all times.

Quite good. Geometric art is always sexy.

Those pics are really, really beautiful. :O:O

Ditto. I got lost very easily.

It really helps in map navigation if there are several "set piece" areas that you can use as land marks

Part of the plan for a new version is to have more unique areas - definitely not symmetrical. Probably going to play on the contrast between the white and black areas - with the black areas being 'outside', and having more of them than the one 'corridor' in dm_pulse.

I loved that corridor, it rocked :smile: Wasn't too keen on the floaty spinny things in it though, looked outta place to me.

I dunno, the style didn't work for me. It was way too bright for my poor eyes. Perhaps if instead of white there was gray, or more gray colors instead of having the white be so dominant. Another thing that bothered me was that it felt like you were floating instead of walking on the floor, and that was due to the floor being almost exclusively white with nothing there to accentuate it. This would have been fixed if you had extended those black wall supports across the floor, and it would have added some needed detail in some of those hallways. The layout seemed fine enough, and the moving things all over the map looked great. I did think that the r_speeds were way too high for this map, but it's not like that matters these days.

Heh, I had to tone down the 'white' texture as it was even brighter before. It looks white on-screen, but its actually a light shade of grey. Though if you take screenshot, it comes across looking a pastelly (that a word?!) blue! :smile:

Sounds like you need to set your monitor to 6500k color temperature instead of 9300k.

To all the people who are complaining about getting lost:

The blood stains and corpses will tell you where you are.

I like the map so much, nice name too,
