i think i like it... hard to tell because the high saturation looks wierd... but fairly nice brushwork nonetheless. ^_^

lighting looks bland, but i think that's due to the high saturation...

maybe go a bit darker anyway though? 

A long time between betas, but I hope this is near done.

Comments and suggestions please. Particularly weapons and ammo placement. 

Amazing screenies !!! The lightning effects are really cool, and the architecture of this egyptian-gothik temple rocks !! Great job... 

that looks infinitely better than the last beta. I'll let you knwo some comments when I've had a run around. 

Pretty hard to get the vibe of the map just from that small shot. However it shows decent build quality and theme so that's good.

I like the alcove in the distance, that works well and is quite effective with the lighting. However I don't like the texture combination over all, with the base + orange bits + blue floor - doesn't really work in the foreground.

Keep it up though - go map =). 

Looks pretty good however it doesn't really do it for me. Hard to get a grasp why but it's probably a combination of the arbitraryness of the architecture and the funny blue detailing on the textures. I prefer my Egyptian style to be a bit smooth texturally with more traditional designs.

Having said that it does seem well built, well textured, well lit etc etc. I find the blue lighting a bit strong but the yellow/orange lighting nicely warm and subtle. The first shot is the most appealing. Looks like it's pretty easy to get around too. 

I agree with SHambler, it looks OK, but not really good. Architecture seems random and usually out of place in an Egyptian map to me. The layout also seems random in places; take the third screenshot for example. THe stairs are at a 45 degree angle leaving the pillar in a very wierd relationship with them. It doesn't quite line up, so part of it is sticking out of a stair that it doesn't seem it should be doing.

I would try to make things a little more coherent, focus a little more on a particular style, and not spread thin on a mishmash of interesting-but-wierd details. GL. (good luck)

I expect comments from Shmabler! 

please don't post pornographic pictures.

in fact, please don't even post until you have something to add besides your idiocy. thanks. 

excellent use of corpses, scampie. ;)

I think slagging off Scampie IS encouraging the community =). 

for real now.

before I added the bridge:

after the bridge:

there's been a slight bit more work done to it, but nothing much more screenworthy. Going to be 2 floor, 3 room affair. Pretty standard DM fare really, just as a way to get into the editor and quirks of the game. 

awesome use of bees. What game is that for? 

that looks really bland, dont what it is exactly but the whole looks isnt too exciting. 

Yeah, screenshots looks good, and sure it's for DooM3 !!! (cause of UAC logo, etc...) 

...but as Nitin says pretty bland at the moment. But hell you know that and you know what to do to make it good, I'm sure =).

Quite like the "pod" wall lights. TBH don't find the bridge adds that much to it, kinda looks intrusive given the rest of the room is high. But if it's a proper bridge then obviously could be a good gameplay feature.

I think with such grey textures, very subtly coloured lighting could be good. 

Shambler: The bridge is part of the planned layout. 

GIVE ME DISCO

The blinking red and blue lights and yellow spotlights with cloud effects are what really make it. 

it's where the red and blue lights overlap to produce crimson; now that's class ^_^
