After 10 months of learning a lot of stuff and working on this map, I'm ready to share a demo. Feel free to leave feedback along with any footage you capture. Playthrough videos will help a lot, letting me see common player mistakes and possible issues with ai etc.
The map itself is probably 90-95% done, mostly just missing a few details and a real ending to it. However in the final project I'd like to add a level that comes before it and possibly a follow up as well.
When this is your first mapping etempt, and you only have 10 months of experience then this looks really good.
The world you build does feel a bit empty and like not much is happening. But, i only base this idea on having watched your video, so that doesn't say much. More detail would be a good thing, although i do hope you did optimaze the level well because a lot of Hl2 players have not such powerfull computers. But if your own computer isn't a high end one then it seems you did optimaze it well enough.
will track your project, much success,
a fellow mapper/modder,
