wow, that blends in really well 

That's what I'm talking about!

That might be the only progs for me...... 

 

looks epic. I'm imagining that some skylight, fog and a suitable skybox would give the outdoor area a great sense of scale, distance and atmosphere.

Since you apparently haven't done much texturing yet, what if it was all snowy? 

Like the scale and design, keep it going. 

Ricky can't map small, huh? Marcheresque BSP2 map. Have fun with the fullvis. 

Holy crap, a non-base map by Ricky! Wow 

Experimental Pixels 

just terrible. 

the doorway and window shapes remind me of unreal engine maps. 

Love the floor in the middle being sunken down with the pillars and walls looming above. Feel very oppressive. 

just terrible.

is how I feel about the name 

I like the wooden steps leading into the lowered floor, that looks really nice. I really like your use of wood textures in this scene.

I'm not so sure about how the wooden support beams inside the door arches just end in the wall without any kind of fixture. I would add a vertical support beam on the wall that would carry the beams within the arch. 

Yeah... Made me think of the pain maze, even though the floor isn't wooden... 

HTH 

@Drew, what is terrible, can you be more specific? Lighting, brushwork, screenshot angle etc
@OTP, yeah the name is a bit cheesy but the map does feature a lot of mirrored architecture. The original name was "The Horde of Zendar".
@SleepwalkR, yeah the strong brick edge does bother me too, especially with all the nice marble door/window edges in the background.
@Shambler, the next maps does have non linear routes but it is more compartmentalized to reduce the lost factor. 

Horde of Zendar 

I love your sense of scale. 

And +1 for Zendar.

Also I agree about the comparison to E4M6. I'd love to see an elder style texture mishmash with Sock's level of detail and polish! 

Light�s, scale and textures combination are perfect. Nice work 

Looks just sweet, my anticipation keeps growing.. 

come on.

I think that the shot looks super nice. In fact, and perhaps unfortunately, I have nothing to criticize.

I also vote for Horde of Zendar. So good. 

This is the one where you're obligated to include a button under a lift, or not? 

Soaring architecture is always one of my favorite settings. That mountain church in Nehara was probably one of my favorite user made levels in any game out there that I've played, visually speaking of course.
