of screenshots on your site look pretty muscular. Solid build with well defined form and detail. I'll check your episodes out soon.

The jungle textures are... uhm... interesting.
I assume you used QuArK? There are many small "non-together-fitting" (excuse my denglish) brushes.

Plenty of rooms with lots of good brushwork and some really neat ideas: details like totems and drums add to the theme; monolithic sculptures in the temple; the raised, covered walkway through the jungle. Gameplay was a bit off-and-on, but those textures...ouch! (o_O)

the temple in the second map was kind of interesting (apart from the black area). but yeah, some textures just don't fit with quake. at all.

Make sure you grab the "hidden" weapons...
There is the ssg directy at the start and the ng on that wooden spiral annoyance. ;)
The third map pretty nicely shows how to build a "press x buttons and walk 10000m between each x times" map.
They are not too bad, but clearly not polished enough. Brushwork is nice in some places, but very annoying in others.

You all seem pretty uptight about the textures.
The way I see it, the textures aren't annoying, your just letting them annoy you. Yeah they look different and possibly intimidating, but your letting them get to you. Same with the brushwork. It's not annoying, your just letting it annoy you is all. Just go with the flow, it makes things go a whole lot smoother.

Lol. Surely that can be said of every annoyance, thus rendering criticism and standards entirely pointless?

Are they converted from anything better than 8-bit Q1 palette? They're definitely interesting, but some have problems with the std palette. I haven't played the maps yet, but I will.

specifically the end of oms23 calls for oms24
but you've only included oms24beta in the zip.
if anyones going to try this, change the filenames ahead otherwise you'll lose all your gear.
Had some strange areas where entire walls would vanish, I dont know if this was due to the complexity of things like the rock bridge in the first map or what...wasn't game breaking.

...I first draw it and color it in Macromedia Flash. After I'm satisfied with it I save it and convert it as a .mip to my wad file in wally. There, I make necessary color changes and sometimes emboss it, to make it look better. Then I may clean it up a little bit so it looks nice and there are no out of place pixels. Once I'm happy with it, I save it and put it into action.
So to answer your question aguiRe, yes.
