As i saw the rest of images that aren´t shown here, i can tell that, although is a bit blocky, it looks good.

I really hope the gameplay is good, because the scary factor is up.

Hmmm, still too blocky. Spice up the geometry. Add pillars, sides...

Horror maps are always a lot of fun. I like the custom fonts and textures, but the map itself looks like it has way too much unused space. Some of the ceilings also seem a bit high, but that might just be me. Otherwise, looking forward to how this turns out. :)

i prefer crowbars but considering the map places you in an unkown underground place, itd make sense youd tear of a pipe in order to have a weapon of sorts.
so good thinking.

Not bad, although there are too much space yet that is empty. I recommend to you take a look some GoldSrc maps (doesn´t matter what game/mod), to learn about how to improve the brushwork.

I kinda agree with Meastro, its looking good but lots of space seems to be there with no intended reason, try to think what is the reason and construction method behind the building (metal framing etc), usualy does the trick for me ;)

Hello there ladies and gentleman am Back I been working on some things....that apparently cost me lots of time (maxiumly 2 months or more)

But I got some progress at least I having problems with a few textures and lighting but I got somethings to show to proof that am still working on the bloody map.

Image

Also the second screenshot with all the guts and the blood and all that needs really big work so basically the second screenshot basically not a full result or even close to it..since it looks a bit umm.....bad displacementlying, hopefully more work will be done...

(Also why the bloody hell whenever I uploaded any pictures they quality is bad) Anyhow more work coming soon

Finally you are giving more detail to the geometry, good.

Protip: You can avoid that those barricades sunk on the floor if you disable their motion (check flag). Also, if you don´t want that the players can break them, on the "minimum damage to hurt", put a high value like 99999 so it cannot be broken.

I see now what you wanted to do when you showed to me those photos. Is "ok", but the texture titles (repeats) too much. Try adding a bit more of detail to reduce that effect (don´t ask me, i´m not a profesional 2D artist). As you said, the displacements needs a bit of more work (since you want it look organic, make it more irregular, making it wider on some parts and narrower on another parts).


About the photo quality, maybe is due Steam, that it put it under jpg format. Bind to a key the command "screenshot", so you can take high quality photos in game (but put first at maximum your specs, of course).
