I think it is a pretty fun map - yet might take a beefed up machine to run well.

I would like to get some feed back after you have played it on additions or changes I might make - or constructive critisism

Hope you like

Post pics and your likely to get more tests, this is peeps like to see what they are going to test

The insides look real nice, the outside shot looks a little rough on
the eyes, though. Find a host. I see Alyx, is this a
singleplayer map?

Yeah, the lighting is dramatic and really good in spots, but sometimes rough and unfocused. Needs more lighting and texture variation, to boot - it looks like a Halo 2 map.

It is a multiplayer map for now - Alyx is just for fun

I know textures need work in areas, but that will be the last thing to tweak before final release.

Thanx for the comments - and go try it out! =)

Linkage.

Yer the inside is cool, the outside looks grim... Ever thought of getting a floor plan for alcatraz and making it from that?

the last pic looks really good, but the second one: is that a tv screen "hanging there"? it looks very weird. it needs atleast a border.

Ok I have download up so go dl it!! =)

MRE

Yes, nice detail work on the indoors. Good work for a first map...better than what I have to show, so far, heh :smile:

The environment light is quite "orange". If you're trying to
achieve a dusky look, the angle of the light (the pitch) should be a
lot less than what you have right now. Judging from the
screenshots, the angle must be somewhere between -60 and -75, which is
early afternoon. The light at that time should be very bright,
and mostly white with a hint of yellow.

Looks nice. I only have CS:S set up on my machine and you didnt have any Counter-terror or Terror spawns so I could only spectate :razz: I like the light outside but I don't get what the bubbles are in the underground sewer area.
