"This place bears history... a history not worth repeating. It is an archaic exhibit of medieval horrors, preserved for human curiosity... preserved in hopes that the massacres would not happen again. The architects of this morbid memorial had not a thought of the future use of this place, where more personal massacres would take place in deathmatch events.

With it's foundation of human bones cast amid clay and soil, the hall's reverance grew as centuries passed on. Each tile was formed from a mix of bone dust and metals. Each tile, bearing a remnant of something... of someone. Thieves would laborously remove them - sometimes for personal decor, but mostly for money. Atrocities capitalized.

Who knows what new atrocities these halls may witness again? Perhaps somehow, it lives through others, a gloating evil staring down from every skull bordering the halls. Waiting evermore, and ready."

And thank you for trying/playing :D

I took the liberty of mirroring the .zip just in case angelfire gets overloaded.

Glad you finished it Phait, I'll look when I get home tonight.

Nice

Congrats on finishing it. I think I'll load it up in DMSP later.

Oh, and your link to my site is to an old address. If you wouldn't mind, the new address is http://rpg.spawnpoint.org/

Should have been beta-tested before release.

Layout has potential and there are some cool architectural touches (metal pillars, floor tiles, windows to outside).

But, aspects of the layout are cumbersome, the theme doesn't quite hang together, the sides of the stairs could be annoying, the weapon loadout is bare minimal and I doubt anyone will like it, the secret is naff bollox.

Basically a rush job, but some aspects do show plenty of potential - this could have been good.

Nice

I had a quick 5 minute blast with a reaper bot and the gameplay seemed quite good, there seemed to be a good balance with weapon layout, althogh there seems to be alot of ammo/weps laying about. Ill have a good go of it later. Good work and well done on finishing it.

Umm, wheres the layout? Connectivity is extremely bad, did you think about it at all? It has dead ends, bad stairs placement, bad item placement (no rl too??), pointless areas.
Apart from that it's ok, it looks pretty good with lots of different texs. Very old school. Tho some walls are really thin which looks odd.
Next time beta test your map!

A Good First Shot

Definitely need to work on a solid layout before getting so far into the details and such, the lighting seemed to me to be a bit inconsistent, and the scaling seemed to be awkward (a bit too snug in some places) as well. But the details and textures were nice enough. All I can say is that it looks hella better than my first dm map =)

Hmm

For the first map it's quite ok. Looks like I returned back to the 1997 or something. Reminds my very first map Cold Halls somehow :)
Phait, continue growing! ;)
