stuff where it takes some thinking to figure out how to get to the next area. Like a hidden code that you have to piece together or something

So true.
Everything looks great, except the tip of the barrel looks a little bland.

I really love the washed out atmosphere of the outside.
The yellow looked good, but as long as we know it rained, maybe some dripping ambiance, its perfect.

It will look better in game once it has a slight specular map. Its been updated.

The render speculars make it look more washed out than it really is.

It gives the texture ambient occlusion, meaning that when you shine a light on it, not all of the areas facing the direction will be lit up. Only the ones in front.
The ones in front cast shadows on the ones further back and etc.
Thus called self shadowed bump maps.
The bump map casts shadows on itself.

My guess is parallax will be sparingly used.
