Its your first map and i can tell you put a lot of hard work into this map. Its ok for your first map but just keep practicing..

No I don't like this map, the textures are horrible when I played this map in Generations. the good place is much better

It needs to be bluer. DM4 was mostly in that bluish scheme that was my favorite in Quake.

Well if it´s your first map, it´s not bad. And yes, the size works well with the Q3 physics, some older dm4 remakes were too cramped (but Powzer´s Remake for example has also good scaling)

You misunderstood my comment with the floors, I mean they look too thin when you look from the side (not from topview).

You need better beta testers ;)

The floors are too thin? In the original you were lucky to get 2 people side by side on those floors. The proportions should be a bigger than the original, and that's what I was going for. As much as I loved the original, I always felt it was too small(I also felt this way about the remakes I've played... although their remakes look about 10x better, heh).

And yes, the architecture does look plain. I will admit that... this is, after all, my first map; It will also be my last. Anyway, I won't expand on my feelings about curves and fancy map objects because that'll just lead to a bunch of rants. :)

To finish this already long post, I'd actually prefer criticism. My map testers showed none, so I couldn't really do anything to make it better. I just went by how I felt and what I thought needed fixing. :)

In my opinion it neither looks or feels like the original. The architecture doesn´t look solid and has very different proportions than the architecture in the original (look at the door´s shape for example, or the shape of the atrium), floors are too thin and the stair is sloppily constructed etc. It also doesn´t makes a big use of the Q3 features, there is a curve here and there, but overall the architecture looks very plain.

Unlike the original, there is a complete lack of ambient sounds (sounds have a great deja vu factor).

Texturing is quite nice, it doesn´t have that blue-ish Bad Place look but it´s ok.

Sorry for the harsh words, but it doesn´t shine because there are a number of better remakes out there.
