Good, Scampie. 
 
Progress... 
Nice. 
So layout is done and on to the visuals? 
 
Pretty much, Drew.

It's not going to a massive map, but hopefully it will be a better end-to-end experience than my jam1 map (large parts of it were really unfinished and it didn't end like I wanted it to). 
Ionous 
That looks great. My mind turns to mush trying to work out how you kept all that floor detail looking correct while curving around. 
Tronyn That Looks Insane! 
Cool progress everyone! Here's a fresh batch for mine. The way from the start to the silver key is 95% done. 6 secrets so far too. :p

Hey Dude, Where The Fuck Is All The Pollution And Poverty ? 
Okay, just to equilibrate a bit those (nice) pictures a bit :

" The ikwhite theme is a disguised way of showing off brushwork with lighting. The texture set finds a thematically appropriate way to step backwards in contrast and importance, making even subtle changes in color and brightness into showcases. Some people will grasp this (although maybe fewer, since even the original ikspqs don't provide as clear an example as honey and saint), and others will take it to mean only 'use that white brick everywhere.'"

It's a nicer way of saying ikwhite's blandness promotes shitty visuals unless you're good at lighting and angles instead to bring some contrast out, because the textures won't do it. But at least ikblue is in there, I like ikblue. Dislike ikwhite. Can't help feeling that skacky's screens would have looked even more awesome with some different tones/colours in the textures instead of all dirty grey. ie unreal, q3, heretic, dkt textures.

Has anyone tried layers, one level ikblue, then above it ikwhite? ikwhite with ikblue trims/details clearly didn't look right.

I've been to that place, have more pics too. Just need to find some time to upload them.

It's a poor country. We get that. Traveling there is still an experience I want to have before I die. It's a country with incredible history and depth.

I agree with you, India is one billion times worth it. I actually LOVE India. Been there two times, and want to go back there during the following years.

Everything is beautifull there, **even** the pollution and the poverty.
You could took some nice pictures of the shit on the floor (no jokes!). Here's an example :

Traveling through India is like an awesome road adventure movie.
Everything you see is extraordinary. For example, I came across these guys on the road. Only in India you could see things like this :

I could post literally thousands of pictures of incredible India here.

Just to stay on topic :
