A nice enough intro level, but I feel the caves kind of lack drama and mystery as they're relatively small in terms of scale. The gameplay is nice and it looks okay though, and I like the legless Krall moment.

Another one??

You've heard all this before. This map was originally built for Kenophobia before it became Spatial Fear, but was dropped when they decided just to work on the Prologue. This is the main reason why the outdoor area uses a new design of hut and features none of the standard plant decos.

These days, I have to agree that the map kinda falls flat. There is no real sense of scale, the build is primitive (spherical caves ftw :P) and the lighting is weak. I kinda like the atmosphere of the candle-lit part of the map though.

Tashara's Cove > The Landing.

Your Kenophobia stuff still came out better than my failed efforts for that project. :tup:

I enjoyed The Landing much more than Tashara's Cove, it had much more imagination.
Loved that cave with the ledges.

It must be "Month of the Scrag" or something :P

I'll be honest and say that I have actually not played any Scrag maps besides his contributions to Deja Vu :/. maybe I should try them out sometime...

This is actually something that annoys me a little, why would all Nali have exactly the same hut design? Houses are all different, and on earth different places have different types of houses. In my opinion, the original Nali hut design is extremely over-used and people should be more creative :D
