Looks Decent 
Liking the gate and the terrain. 
Freeeeeeeedooooom 
a celtic cross!
nice detail on the gate. 
Did'nt Think About That 
just wanted something medieval in the map.
Sometimes saw similar crosses as gravestones.
Does it have a special meaning? 
 
Screens look nice, I like the different ambience there. 
Not Bad 
Not bad at all, it's simple, but it has a special feeling and it's something different. Try adding some more details (maybe some boulders, some dead trees) and make a map, it could be a really good one. 
Why Not 
have already something in mind, diablo like.
Means some crypts, undead etc.
Details will be added, when i finish and polish the map.

Here some screenies of my other maps:

Progress 
Still working on the sp remake of dm7 I started to give myself a break from my other map. A lot of work left (rocks, lighting, most of gameplay and polishing...) but it's taking shape, and the flow is figured out at least.

The original dm layout has been butchered quite a bit to make sp gameplay fit into it. The r_speeds are also pretty high since the layout is open. Then again, who cares about r_speeds these days?

Rocks! 
Wow than, that looks awesome! Personally I don't care too much about r_speeds in Q1 anymore, most modern machines can cope.

I am not sure why you are bothering with the rock walls, open it up so it is atop of a giant rock. Turn the sky to light cream colour and add fog so it fades into the distance. Place small rotating rocks in the sky space so it looks it was ripped from the ground and transported here. Could even put huge teleportation beacons around the citadel to show how it was transported to this strange void. 
Oshit Son 
That's looking really nice Than. Don't really see many maps using this theme, reminds me of Gloom Keep actually.

So, we can play it in 2019 yes? ;) 
Than. 
I would wipe my knob on that map :)

Also

Maybe because it's the Gloom Keep texture set?? :O

Nice shots ! Really nice architecture. As suggested, fog would definitely help to break the flatness of the huge rock in the back-ground...
Keep it up !!

Orly? 
Yepp, Good One 
Reminds me a little bit of Tomb Raider (please dont hit me).
Sock's idea is also great.
Would give it a little touch of Cardigans Estatica imo.
Anyway, cool idea! 
Lol 
There are plenty Tomb Raider fans around here...

It's kinda a Quake-era game. 
Nobody Uses Those Textures? 
I find them the easiest so slap shit together with quickly, so I use them a lot - not that I produce stuff this nice that quick. It looks really good Than.

Not sure I'm into the rocks though - they don't seem quite right to me for some reason. Maybe with lighting etc though. 2c 
 
conflagrant rodent had the orange bricks. 
Thanks 
yeah, I think when I posted the first pic a little while ago someone mentioned those textures being overused ;) They have been used quite a lot I think, but I never tried to use them and thought they would work well.

Sock: that's a really awesome idea! I should perhaps give it a go. Making rocks is pretty damn annoying, so maybe your idea would work nicely. Would really need a skybox or a plain texture + fog though.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with Q1 by the way! Your Q3 stuff is awesome and I hope you can get your way with Q1 too :)

Drew: the rocks in that pic are temporary rocks I put in to seal the map and provide a route to the silver key. I am going to change them :)

I hope to have it finished in the next week or two, then I want to go back to working on my main map, or maybe I will finish my 70% done remix of dm1. 
For Fuck's Sake, Than!!!!!!!!! 
 
Wakey 
Optimization tip: if you make the vertical poles of the fence/gate an individual func_wall, it'll probably save you quite a few polys. Check out the difference by using r_showtris. The idea is to seperate brushes (either world and func, or func and func) so they don't 'touch' and cause qbsp to split the faces. 
I'll Give It A Try 
 
Than 
Just to be clear: I love those textures.
good luck with the maps. I've been looking forward to all of them - every once in a while I'll go back to your page and look at the WIP shots, and get all bonery.
So yeah. super excited.

Oh - is Satan's Caramel Surprise still a possibility? 
Drew 
You mean this ancient page? http://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/than.quaddicted.com/index.html

I've actually got a real urge to map a lot lately, so I went back through those maps and took a look to see if they are worth finishing.
*APSP3 has a lot of flaws, but I really want to finish and release it, so I will at some point this year (hopefully in the next couple of months).
*DM1RMX is simple, but I want to make a full dm->sp episode eventually, so it's worth finishing.
*APSP4 (Satan's Caramel Surprise) is probably only about 1/6th done, but it has some interesting ideas, so I want to see if I can finish it. I suspect it's been done by someone else (Negke?) by now, but the gimmick is that you get route and weapon choices and can take entire areas in reverse depending on your choice of weapon. The spawning is supposed to be adjusted based on your choice. Could be a fun map to make.

Whether I'll get around to doing the other DM conversions or not, I don't know, but I hope so, because making them is a lot of fun. I also wanted to do a Rubicon 2 map (I LOVE BASE!). I wish I had infinite time.

Hope you are still mapping! Will we ever see a full map from you? 
Web-goodness 
Wow, Than you have a webpage! Must bookmark that, hopefully you will update it at some point. With your citadel thing, try deleting all the rocks and adding a white/create sky texture and fog. It might be a cool direction to try. 
Wow 
I remember that...
APSP3 - Bound by Oath (Quake SP)
Those 2 screenshots look stunning, please try to finish that map. 
 
Wish that RTCW map was for singleplayer. :(
