that is the most bizarre screenshot I have ever seen 

That is so... Lovecraftian. 

looks ..wonderfully twisted.

make it twisted. like the tree-like thing in the middle of the screenshot, on which i really like that deep dark red color. 

necros: you truly have a florid imagination :)

Kinn: are you taking the piss? :P 

no, i'm not taking the piss. it looks to me just like the sort of mix of arcane architecture and alien wierdness that HPL would describe.

although i think the overhanging curve thingies might look better joining at the middle perhaps, like ribs joining a spinal column.

not going to make the deadline, but here's things lit up a bit. 

What custom engine is that? Is it Fuhquake? And will it be a single player map? 

It's John Carmack's Quake 3D engine or something like that. It's botmatch. 

Gotta love those textures! finish it scampie :D 

I like that scampie, but I think the lightcasts would look better red. 

there's enough red lighting, a little dab'll do ya. 

Nice, quite impressive. It even looks like a BG map. 

On those Head Hunter 3 textures, it looks really sweet (not in a pinko commie way, but in Ferrari sort of way). 

Looks nice scamp, although the support pillars for the walkway in the first shot look too flimsy. How about making them thicker (and Y shaped single supports to avoid the tiny gap left in between two thicker pillars) 

I need some betatesters for my new Q1SP map. Everyone interested mail me at pulsar_2001 -=at=- mail -=dot=- ru for more info and download link. 

Hey, nice looking map you have there. You always seem to have funky big cool looking maps.
Just a comment though: I'm not too keen on the repitition of the hexen2(?) brick runnign around the back edge. Though this could just be because I used it quite a lot :)

The organic looking stuff is tres tres great. 

did you get my mail? 

Uh, no. 

check your mail now 

Oh there it is. Sorry I didn't see it, but it's way at the bottom of my inbox. It would be easier if you weren't sending e-mails from 1997. 

I also noticed that there seems to be something strange with some emails from you. I recall seeing year 1997 somewhere and my ISP seems to have problems with them as well; emails are delayed.

Can you please check what's wrong?

There's a badly written science fiction story in there somewhere. 

1997 is my PC's time right now.
It's been even 1991 two years ago. That's because I needed to use shareware program with 30 days time of use. Then I found it fun:)

I didn't know it has any effect on e-mails 

I still need some more betatesters for my map.
RPG, don't you want to betatest it? 

Alright. Can you upload the file temporarily to your website for me to download and then e-mail me the URL? Files generally do not pass well through my e-mail.
