Note that the water is fake

It's my magical fake water

Fake water? Was is photoshopped? If so you then I think you should enlarge it and turn it into a real texture because it looks good.

Ferret, just let me host them on my photobucket account. It's much more reliable.

Waits for some new person to post a map to blow this away.

[Spas12]

not bad, nice texture use. Could be a bit brighter though.

[YokaI]

I like the lighting style

You should have changed the top part of the ramp, the glass allows you to see right through the intire thing.

To GeneralVivi:

Excellent excellent work.

And about Full Sail ... some people I used to mod with ended up going there years ago for game development. One rushed through his program and was done in two years and came out without having learned much more than some program syntax and is now still without work . The other I think is spending more time with his program . At Full Sail , I think it all depends on how much YOU put into it ... while that is true of any school and major , it definately applies to Full Sail . Be warned - it wont give you much of a 'general education'

I am doing it a little differently. I am in my third year at the Rochester Institute of Technology as a New Media / IT major. It was presented to me as 'the new game developing major' (when I started college 3 years back there were no game development 'majors' other than DigiPen and Fullsail) Unfortunately , even though I am doing New Media / IT with a concentration in Game Development , I find it wasnt quite what I was hoping for. The program just doesnt understand the industry at all and is focused on 'web games'. So I plan on attending the Guildhall @ SMU which is from my understanding a very good , industry focused postgrad education for game developers. (also very selective i think ...)

I know this is off topic, but I just want to present it to you as something to consider as well. A broader education can be a good thing.

Oh , and again . You screenshots are excellent . You have a great talent. Remember that school wont teach you everything and its going outside of the classroom and working on your skills like you are that will get you a hot seat in the game industry.

To Kolezan: Also some great work there! The spotlights might be a little too bright for me but its looking great.
