^Bwidge w/smexy water

^ on bridge with a view of the fortress

^ view of the sewers (yes i know it’s not textured)

^ inside the sewer base thing

^ the sewer stairs (which works perfectly)

^ the other part of the stairs (have to crouch under to actually get through, i’ll fix that though

^ the hall to courtyard

^ the courtyard

Now give advice and feedback and what-not

You should give the map a specific theme. For instance, the courtyard could easily become some sort of… Sewer place.

#88

I’d be more comfortable calling it a ramp-room, but Pyro’s right, HL2 has a lot of good concrete textures to give that place a sewer-like theme. Each area can feel more lively and interesting if you give it a purpose.

Once you start implementing a theme, you’ll find some artistic license to make the level more beautiful. If you go with a sewer-theme in a room, for example only (use your own imagination):* Does the floor need to be completely smooth, or could I make a gentle dip to simulate drainage?

  • Does the wall need to be plain, or could I add the end of a small pipe to make this feel more like water would go here?

The lighting is looking pretty good, very playable. As you keep on working, remember that every light should have a source visible in-game, like a lamp or fixture or something. That truly separates decent maps from the normal ugly “first map” ones.

You’re doing a damn fine job there, Den. Keep it up!

Since page 1, you’ve made a big progress. :slight_smile:
I can’t wait to see the end results

^ Video of my map, still needs work, but eh.

#93

That lighting seriously needs some work, I’d recommend you take a look at this.

#94

#95

Needs more uniformity.

#96

This looks great! It may be just the reason I need to reinstall HL2DM :stuck_out_tongue:

Keep it up! :slight_smile:

#97

So much… orange!

Looks awesome :3

#98

Why are there boats in a sewer river?

#99

Because its now a normal river >_>
