Hehe, I did told you to be carefull with combination of overgrown style and bts area. You did it the way I was the most afraid of. Player wakes up in a room somewhere on the ground - it's possible to see a tree and star sky in the window. Then we go up three floors and get into an overgrown chamber, but it's still ok, I can suppose the foliage grown through the broken roof. But as we go further we get to bts area and I found it rather wierd to have it over the ground when it supposed to be deep under the surface.

As for the rest, it's a good work.

P.S. Are those heavy toilet doors supposed to stand a nuclear blow.

Heh, thanks!
Actually the "night sky" is fake, if you look closely (or fullbright it), you will see they are made out of elevator video panels
Oh, did you manage to find the easter egg?
Now is the bts area still out of place?
Cheers!

The ball jumping thing in the BTS area was a bad idea. Also, the door leading out there has a bit of a collision issue. The first time I went through that door I got stuck and had to noclip. The second time (after dying trying to get across the gap with the ball) I managed to force my way free of the door.

Is it just me or this red sprite looks a bit misplaced?
The idea with the ball itself is okay,but you should work on a little bit more.
First of all,i think it won't hurt to add autosave it the BTS area.Also,sometimes the ball just flies into the void instead of falling on the walkway.For some reason this happened a few times in my first walkthrough,so at first i was a little confused about what to do,but after that, i couldn't reproduce this glitch,so i guess it's just a rare occurrence.
And i also fell into the void a few times during the ball jump,maybe add some playerclip there.
And, nice easter egg btw,it took me a while to find it.

Ah, okay. I'll try to move the trigger further away from the door to prevent that from happening. Thanks for testing!

Hmm, I think its just you
Of course I'll add autosaves! I just forgot to put it in
Sure, I'll add some playerclip. Thanks for testing! Cheers!

You can fizzle the CD you have to use to open that door. If you do, you're stuck.

Really?! Won't it spawn again? O_O
Have you checked carefully? I'l look into it.
Thanks for testing!

It does not respawn. I double-checked.
No problem, I'll see if I can find anything else.

Oh, okay. I'll turn off the fizzler when the player touches it.
Thanks!
Did you manage to find anything else? (And the easter egg? )

Two videos of awesome-ness

Awesome videos Lp! Thanks for the videos, feedbacks and commentary! I'll follow your recommendation and improve it further more
Its a shame that you didn't manage to find the easter egg, especially when you noclipped at the end. But oh well
Cheers!

Challenge accepted!

EDIT: FOUND! It's very very well hidden; and even when you find it, it's not yet clear it's there

Alright. I found out you can go on the railings and get around those closed railing doors and go behind the "inaccessible" area where the railing ends. Just make an invisible wall next to the doors and it's fixed.
I didn't find the easter egg, I believe. I will have to check it out later.
