That's not true. If you'll look into some maps (and Valve's maps), that's what you have there.

No, I think it's a valid excuse.
Plenty of custom maps use modern catwalks in overgrown styles, as does Valve, and you are the first person I've ever heard say that there's anything wrong with it. While innovation is good, common trends can't just be blatantly disregarded. Saying, and having proof, that it's commonly done before is a perfectly reasonable argument.

What do you think? What could I do to improve it?

Wow man, looking very neat and nice Keep on the good job! The only real missing bit is the indicator lights for that laser catcher, but since it's a wip map, I guess you simply didn't get to that point

I already noticed your mod the other day at moddb, interesting mapping, looking very good and nicely detailed, and the brush work is remarkable too Will stay tuned to your stuff

I really like the detailed brushwork you did there. Looks really realistic and fresh. But I think there are two things that could be improved:
First, your textures are too colorfull. The red, blue and yellow textures combined let the place look like a big playhouse for kids . Try to choose two colors for a spot and more grey-ish colors, that's what aperture is doing too.
Second, your overgrowth areas are not dirty enough. Especially in pic 2 the lights are too clean. Maybe use a dirty texture on them or use different models which are more common in the overgrowth theme. Also some water dripping from the ceiling would fit there too .
Looking forward to it, I like your idea .

Being creative and creating something new that doesn't already exist is a good thing. Saying that theres something wrong in your map because it differs from Valve's map is the most crappy reason ever.

Looking good, Caden!

What do you guys think? Any opinions?
I'm gathering feedbacks first so I don't make the same mistakes when making the second and third chamber.

I'm currently working on a small project (or rather, map) called "Damnation". The map will have 3 chambers in a destroyed theme. So far, I'm only halfway (actually three-quater) done with the first chamber. This is what it looks like right now:


Ignore the fizzlers. They're messed up.

Hmm...that looks pretty good actually. I can't spot any major mistakes, although it feels like it's...missing something? I think it might be a bit cramped, and the lighting is maybe a bit dull.

these are updated screens of that room i posted earlyer:

I'll post some more later, hope you like it.

I don't really fancy the triangle-shaped brushes in the middle of the walkways.
And maybe use a different railing model, one that has edges to it and doesn't just have pointy bits sticking out!

As for the door frame under ENTER: is it supposed to not have any textures in the sides?

Other than that it's looking pretty neat

woooh! fancy!

One thing though: your fizzlers look stretched! make a brush 128 units high; and cut of 64 unit edges on the sides. texture it all with nodraw; and then apply the (I don't know the exact name right now), but the fizzler_l on the left side; the fizzler_center in the center; and the fizzler_r on the right; and align them all with fit. That will make it a lot less stretched!

Otherwise it looks very interesting!

No worries, this areas are still WIP, for now i'm focused on making custom materials and models.
Thanks for the feedback.

This is absolutely beautiful. I wish more people made non-stock levels like this.
