				@Sprog-sama
 2 things I notice consistently throughout your maps/screens is that
 a) The boxlights are very bright
 b)you don't detail walls
 
 The former is simple enough, just lower the values. The latter I'd like to go a bit more in depth on.
 
 You have some pretty good design, its definitely one of your strong points as a mapper, but you hardly detail walls which is a very big part of the game.
 
 Think about it like this: the player is going to be looking forward for roughly 90%+ of your mod, not at the ground nor at the ceiling (both of those you've detailed fine enough). You should use the hell out of various decals/welders, just be creative. There shouldn't be an empty/plain wall, especially in a well lit place -- that's just a waste.
 
 I rate it 3 memes. |  |

I look at the original one.
 
I like the design of the rooms where you, in the original story, pick up laudanum, and the monster spawns in the end of a corridor. 
I've used the design before, and it works pretty good.
 
I use wooden floor, wooden ceiling, detailed corridors, and wine shelves.

				It might just be me, but I don't like the lighting at all. It looks as if you have a very strong boxlight. The spotlight gobo looks odd too. The borders are "too sharp" and the gobo itself is too small.

				It looks to me like he didn't actually use the gobo, he used a normal shadow-casting spotlight and placed it behind the actual grating, hence the sharp edges. I would suggest using a non-shadow casting spotlight with that same grating gobo (I know it exists) and place it UNDER the grate. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it actually looks better and players will never know the difference.

				Ok, I'll make the boxlight a bit darker. Actually, the spotlight does have a gobo and it's placed under the grating so I'm not sure how to fix that, I'll probably have to play around a bit with I guess. 
BeeKayK, what do you mean by that?
 
Thanks for the critisism guys    |  |
