:) i think map is pretty easy on hard :) of course first runs are nightmare but is possible to survive at first run on hard! 

dont like it much, looks fairly bland, particularly the lighting and brushwork. Gameplay is so so, I found it pretty boring and tedious personally.

But worth releasing for sure. Whats your next one trinca? 

a Maya map if ever finish it... 

screenies?

although add with only egyptian textures in a mayan setting. Have you tried converting the textures sock used in this q3 map :

'odd' not add. 

Im using those -_o 

speeds you that saw .bsp does it look that odd? 

no. but doesnt look very mayan either 

since when do style, origin and setting have go together in Quake? 

i was pleased that i could survive 2 vores and a shambler with 7 health and not take any damage. The large pillar in the room made it possible :) 

i've just finished it on normal and i was pretty hard for me. i play all maps usually on hard but this was hard enough on normal. but nothing unfair..you just have to pay attention to every single fight :). the cental area with sidewalks looks nice..especially in darkplaces with all eyecandy (bloom/blur...) settings on.

i used some external textures from qrp and other sources to improve graphics..but personally didn't help much due to many custom textures which stay the same. as i've said there wasn't to much time to examine the layout and look for details...fight was intense. which is good 'cause i think q1 is not good for this type of levels - big rooms with big computers etc... q1 should be more klaustrofobic experience. therea are only few big base levels in q1 which are REALLY good and i gave up all hopes for another insomnia-like level pack long time ago :-).

so...at the end it isn't bad level but is quite "empty" and there is too much open space for me. enemy placement is also strange. frankly..it is base level. i found shamblers and vores quite out of place in level like this. would be much better with quoth2 bestiary. but don't take it personally and keep mapping. screenies from that maya level looks really good. hope you will finish it someday. 

Good map again Trinca! I liked the fights and the map itself. Many ambushes and some nice design. Kep it up!
I have recorded a first play demo on hard skill. Died once at a vore ambush:

Finally played this - I mistook it for wbase since I was on holiday when it was released.

Good solid quaking, although I missed both nailguns on my first run and so had to replay from the start - useless save.

The grunts in the large tiered areas got annoying, otherwise gameplay was nicely done.

Cruel ending ;) 

nobody read the lovely story i wrote?
chif chif.... 

Can spot your classical education there Trinca ;) 

Lighting's a bit bland for my tastes. Other than that, the map's pretty good, with nice setups here and there. As for the demo...
