    Big up to these posters for actually taking me seriously and being constructive:

    People who should just GTFO of this thread and sit in the corner for the rest of the day:

    killertomato

    There, now I just have to ask you, killertomato, where did you find that pic? Also, i must disregard that comment about the picture being of myself. I chose it for its ugliness (and a strange fascination for ugly hats), and as for mma and marihuana, I've quit both. I'm a member of too many communities to keep them all updated, so I can't really see where you even got that one.

    ANYWAY!

    I feel that what most people have done in this thread is look at the screenshots and think "this map is ugly, so it sucks". That is okay with me, but makes me think i should rather focus on creating set up scenes for cosmetic perfection and post screenshots for the forum-dwellers to like me.

    I do enjoy the gameplay of my map, and feel that it contributes about 50% to the core gameplay of cs:s. So all in all, i'm not satisfied, which is why this is just an alpha to let you see what I'm doing and give me some comments to work with.

    I am under the impression that this is what a WORK IN PROGRESS section is meant for, but this experience has started me wondering if that is really how things work around here.

    So i'll try again. Please tell me what makes my map unplayable, what doesn't look good, what does work when it comes to gameplay, and what doesn't. Please do at least take the time to try it out once before you tell me how much it sucks because you looked at the screenshots. Basically, I'm looking for constructive crits on what I can do to improve as a level designer, I do not need you to look up pictures of me on google. ^^

    Cheers!

    Alpha Release: FY_NINJA_ALPHA

    This is my first map release ever, and as such I want it to be as perfect as it possibly can be. It is not my first MAP though, just my first release. Please leave a comment with thoughts, suggestions, bugs, feelings and annoyances, and I'll try my best to meet everyones requests before i make a beta release. The reason for the name is that you are supposed to be a good player to get the colt. ^^

    Issues:

    * Trying to hide geometry sorrounding the spawnpoints, should i use one areaprtal per spawnpoint (14 total), or one per spawn area (2 total)?

    * I'm having an ambient_generic 1 second alarm sound set to loop when the m4a1 is picked up, but it refuses to loop. How do i set loop points in a wav file, or what else am i doing wrong?

    My original TODO list:

    Compile log (there's obviously something going on with the portals, my theory is trigger brushes that are intersecting the portals.):
