Very nice, my friend!

All you really need to do, is focus a bit more on detail. You have the main body of the maps done nicely, but it's the minor details that would really make your map good.

Played all these maps except for dm_clocks many times and I gotta say all of them play very nicely. As a guy who enjoyed DeathMatch and played on the competitive side when I used to have more time I always enjoyed this maps.

Looks good, I would practice your lighting a bit more to make environments feel more scenic.


Very nice though.

Looks like dm_clocks could use better 3d skybox if it has any, I have a feeling it's floating somewhere in the sky from the screenshots.

Ohterwise very nice.

I really like the screenshots because there seems to be no anti-aliasing. That's the way I like my 3D, keep it up! Also, the maps look awesome!

Thanks everyone, for compliments and criticisms alike =D

What do you mean by detail? What images are you referring to? I want to keep these things in mind in my future projects.

Yeah, lighting was my biggest focus on dm_groupfour. I went nuts with color and spotlights, trying to strike a definite foggy, dank, artificial mood. Too bad it's a HUGE map and the gameplay suffers from it.

Funny you should say that, I toyed with the idea of a floating castle/church, but I ended up making it on a small, surreal little island in the middle of the ocean. Also, the clock runs backwards and at an eerily fast pace.

Oh wow, you're that guy who made Dm_Groupfour.

I couldn't get my mind around how you made that damn pump machine, it was flawless and worked perfectly. At first I figured it was an animated model, but I took a look at it in Hammer and saw how you did it.

Anyway, fantastic work. I especially love dm_clocks. Your concept for that map is very appealing to me, especially with that backwards clock.
