My name is James Nolan. I live in an old apartment in Saria, a nice city where people live happily and peacefully. I was born in 2011, a year after World War III ended. My father, Maurice, was the commanding General of our army, and we won thanks to his strategic intelligence. He lived happily with me and my mother, a woman he loved very much, and held her very dear. Then she died in 2018 due to a severe heart-attack. My father became depressed and was enraged easily and often. After a couple years, he vanished, leaving me alone. I had to live in an orphanage until I turned 18. There, however, I had met my best friend, Harold Dasher. We grew up together and planned what we were going to do when we got out. We went to college, Harold was taught in the ways of science. I tried it, but it didn't appeal to me very well. I decided to join the military, and learn how to protect people, just like my father had. However, that was one goal I had in my head since I was a kid. To find my Dad.
Harold has the weird colored room with the computer, whilst you get the tv and pretty little radio!
This is quite good for your first mod but there are some areas for improvements:
-Some details on the walls would be nice (posters, cracks since its an old apartment etc)
-The texture for the counter/table (under the radio) is not really suitable, may I suggest you use a prop or another texture?
-The lighting in both rooms are white. White is a colour that doesn't really bring any emotion/mood to the play, so I would recommend that you change the colour of the lights into something more yellowish (to fit in with the old apartment theme). This website has a lot of information on lighting (and level designing): Developer.valvesoftware.com
Of course it is up to you whether you want to use my suggestions, however it is these small little details that differentiate your mod from the others.
Awesome, thanks =D And yeah, the rooms themselves aren't very...crappy looking in terms of old. I'll have to fix them up, so thanks very much for the help =)
What the hell is up with the texture on that counter/table/wall-intrusion thing?
Haha. Yeah, that was fixed. I have no clue what the heck I was doing =P
