The Unknown Castle (My First Ever Level) - Linus Ågren - 01-29-2011

-The Unknown Castle-

Alright. I started off with absolutely NO knowledge in either the editor or scripting. I want to thank all of you on the forum who helped me with the scripting! Tongue

NOTE! The reason it's called test_map and test3 is because I named it that at the start since I didn't think I would make it a real project, so just don't bother about that.

I know there is some graphic bugs and that some rooms are poorly designed, but if I make another map I will focus much more on the level editing rather than the scripts.

Leave feedback so I know what to improve next time (except the level)

Pretty nice for your first map!

There are many overlapping textures and holes which could be covered by a welder. Most places are pitch black and I didn't find as many light sources as i had tinderboxes. The hole in the ceiling is covered by another texture. You could have used some particle effects. The planes were too small and looked strange, you could've set the tile amount to something like 0.5 or lower.
The environment could be more enhanced to get a better atmosphere.
Don't put too much keys in a map, or it will get monotonous.
Make puzzles and parts were the player has to think of what to do next.

Use lower values for impulses, for example at the part with
Spoiler below!
the "exploding" cabinet/door.

But i gotta say, I enjoyed your map!
I really liked the part with
Spoiler below!
the patrolling brute.

I didn't know what to do first, but i managed to stay undetected.
The ending was different from the usual endings. Short, but finally a map where you

escape from the castle.


I think you have potential to make good maps.
Try to improve your map with all my criticism. Wink

Sincerely,

Ongka

@Ongka
Thank you for your criticism! Will make my next level better; more textures, items, light sources and some particles. I'm still learning Tongue

@thomsone
I added 3 mirrors. ^^

Thanks for the support! Tongue I've planned to make the next level better designed, more decals and particles etc.. More sounds + scares and of course, more kinds of items ^^. (It's already in progress Big Grin)
