1. On image four, you cant have a staircase like you do it isnt logical. Break it down into more sections, if its two stories above the bottom surface then it should be four segmented staircases.

2. Fantastic Lighting.

3. Fantastic Displacments

Good map bro, cant comment on gameplay until its released

Bizarre lighting more like. Cyan? Seriously? And a distinct lack of consistent sources; even if they're off. Light props needs to be placed as in real life, not simply when you're adding indoor lighting.

Light coming in off snow is never that shade of green/blue either, it's a tinted grey/blue.

Otherwise, your mapping is solid if a little haphazard; weird ramp coming off the stairs, dull inside, weird concrete texture on the floor with the stairs. Dull buildings as well; picture one shows a cube of a building; bad mapping practice right there. Break it up into parts.

Overall, an excellent beta map, but it needs some seriously heavy detailing before you release. Assuming the gameplay is up to scratch.

Nice outside areas btw.

EDIT! Oh, and that staircase; tweak it 90 degrees and set it into the hillside. It'll look much better.

I've seen this about, it's great and everything but there's something just not right... apart from the snow I think it's the turquoise lighting.

Yeah i didn't think too hard about the lighting, ive changed to to a more desaturated blue colour.
ive also changed that building a bit made it more 3d



heres a working playable version with nav mesh overlay and props
banana seems to be screwing me around and not updating the file sometimes theres a delay when you change a screenshot or file in the new one showing up. If the file doesnt have 1_4_10 in it then check back in an hour or so.

haha, wow, what a difference from those early shots. Looking much better.

Assuming you've fixed everything mentioned previously (especially that odd staircase with the wee ramp thing) I think all it needs is some extra detailing dotted around the walls; overlays, decals, electrical boxes, fire extinguishers, ad infinitum...

[Zombie Dawgs]

Much better! Add some decals to the floor, and some props in the corridors.
