Hellscrag@: I'm not pre-judging the map. I'm only criticizing what I'm seeing from the shot and what probably I'm mostly going to see in the level - the lighting style should be the same for the entire map/pack, as an obvious note.

Well, as sana says, contrast is good. Kaka's entry will also be a welcome contrast to the bleakness of the lighting in mine.

The map looks exactly the same in game, and i made it this way on purpose, so some of you might feel disapointed because I won't be changing the lighting style :tdown: :lol:

Yeah, I like the lighting. It doesn't look real at all, but so what? Not everything has to look realistic. This is clearly a good fantasy style going on here. Keep it up.

I want more screenshots, but don't give any out any more, or the whole surprise will get up and run away.

You've really wet my appetite & now I want to eat your level.

I can't wait to see the winner of this competeition, there are some fine maps going. :D

Actually I had to change the lighting a bit - see shots below - that kind of intense saturated light didn't mix well with some parts of the map which a little bit different approach when it comes to lights - but i think it still looks good ( the hell it looks fucking awesome lol, but more natural ).

Nice. Would it be possible to make it a tiny bit darker, so that the torches have more impact? (it may just be the gamma / my screen brightness)

This part is lit by two blue moons so that's the reason torches don't give much light but in the other side of the map there's less light from the sky and torche lights look a lot warmer. And it's still WIP so i probably will enhance lights when I'm done with the build.

Much better :tup: Love the look so far. That's why I don't use alot of low saturation lights, the colors usually clash, especially blue vs red.

I am really looking forward to this one, and am in full agreement with the others that have said it has a great style.
