@Accensus: it was mean for Howe, as he said he played it, but glad you liked it. Wanted to make sure the lifts are okay, before I move to finish it

@Howe: the look of the lobby is intentional And thanks for feedback

*suffers severe HL1 cargo jumping flashbacks* FREEMAN, YOU FOOL!

haha Your map is great so far! It's cool to see how other people work. I'd go insane if I didn't throw down some textures, lmao! Love the end room, very cool.

Also, CBM, thanks for the love, brother! I'm already working on a couple new maps for the challenge, one is like a car factory from Hell? lol That first map I probably won't touch again, it'll be a good time capsule a year from now when I'm real decent dere, bud.

Stay greasy, boys!

Looking forward too see more of your work! Welcome to the team dude!

- Standing on this door frame kills you instantly. It's a bit hard to pull off but it totally happens.

That's about the only thing. I really like this map. I'd say it's good for release unless someone else has any ideas.

Fixed. Also fixed a couple more little things.

That's it then, my last map is complete I will go through all of them now and fix what I can find and reupload new builds as a single pack.

And then I'll just lurk here, watching the progress and getting psyched for the release

Thanks... using the magic of gzdoom

one tag for a floor 3d sector and one tag for a liquid 3D sector,
a sector can have multiple tags that each grant something special to a sector

- Let's start off with a portal issue at the very entrance.
- You can skip the lift past the entrance where the SSG is by just sprinting and jumping. Using the portal to return places you inside the raised lift, essentially trapping you.
- Lots of warnings.
- Missing texture/HOM here.
- I don't know why the inner edge of the pyramid even exists other than "just because". A lot of areas seem to exist just for that purpose.
- The outside area is way too bright. Also blood ceilings make no sense, nor does the red wall texture you've picked for the walls surrounding the pyramid.

For some reason this map feels much less polished and playable than the castle one. I like the concept but the texturing is all over the place, consistency is simply not there, and I gave up after nearly 10 minutes of running around trying to find the red key. The other keys were fine but navigation gets wack after you get to the second "floor". All in all, I'd say this particular map isn't up to par to basic standards. How to improve it? Well, honestly I'd start with something smaller instead. From the screenshots the map looked pretty good but actually playing it is a whole different story. You could try one of the earlier slots since those maps are smaller by design.
