Here a bit of feedback:

1. The trees look a bit too repetitive and do not look very good from the angle you're looking (from below). 2. You seem to use the fence model a lot and it looks pretty wrong in front of the wall. I would get rid of that stuff there. 3. I would change the texture for the storm drain area to something that looks more like concrete, this one gives me too much of an italy vibe, especially since it looks similar to your map de_coast. Same goes to the floor trims. 4. The double double door entrance looks really wrong. I would definitely remove one of them (and replace them with a window you might be to jump through?). If it is two entrances to different parts of the interior (with a wall between) then I would replace the doors with single doors instead so you have some space between the entrances.

Also the balloons are too repetitive and too uniformly clustered. I would spread them out a bit more in some parts and move them closer in others to break things up.

Gameplay wise the whole map is an absolute mess and no fun at all to run around in. Prove me otherwise by giving me access to actually be able to play it

I think that movie does not quite fall into the girl's movie category

I'm using chrome on android as well and it looks fine to me

Correct, it's "Good Time". Robert Pattinson plays his role really well in it. Pretty good movie overall. Your turn now @Radu!

yeah, I really enjoyed it as well, even though I've already been spoilered about the end... Anyway, I'm pretty confident that is the movie so I'm just going ahead with the next picture:

10 Cloverfield Lane?

A lot of the characters felt pretty pointless (the actor from Get Out had a fairly stiff, not very believable/boring role in the story).

http://# Reveal hidden contents At one point he rides a Rhinocerous, which kind of summed up his character for me. Needlessly unbelievable and with motivations that don't really compute in the context of the narrative. We're told that he's very upset that his father died, but we 1) never saw his father 2) his "upset" isn't really shown in any meaningful way, he's like this stoic guy who all the sudden goes from complete loyalty to the protagonist to strong antagonism in virtually no time. All because a villain drops a dead body at his feet? It doesn't work.

There were a lot of characters who probably should have been cut in order to focus on the ones that were really interesting (the Uncle/Brother character for example got really short shrift despite being the most interesting person in the story. His entire plotline deserved way more depth and screentime. They probably cut it to de-emphasize the "real world" politics aspect of his character, but that was easily the most interesting unexplored area of the story. The film opens with him stockpiling weaponry and then abandons his whole plotline, pretty basic violation of "Chekhov's Gun" with predictably disastrous results for viewers sitting there wondering what the deal is with that for the entire rest of the movie, and they never really give you any more action than that with his character. They just say "he was going to overthrow the government" or something. Too vague.)

The really intelligent sister character was basically a Mary Sue, I liked her character but where was her backstory, how did she get so smart, where was she educated and what are her goals and ambitions? They don't say a word about it, she's just kinda always amazing and doing amazing things without any humanizing flaws or realistic challenges other than what her brother is experiencing. A little bit of a flat character there.

T'Challa himself was intro'd with very little background himself, you know virtually nothing about him other than that he loves a woman and can't behave properly around her. Which they then abandon as a plotline as well, never to return to that particular character quirk.

So many interesting ideas that are basically just abandoned for no reason other than to put more action/fight sequences with rapid cuts that don't really do much to satisfy the viewer. (There was absolutely nothing positively memorable at all about the action scenes, but a lot of goofy stuff does come to mind.)

Overall, worth seeing but not the best of the Marvel films.

It's great, really like the live updates to the 3D model and freedom of choice you get. Only two or three things stood out to me:

The space between "Hide Option Cubes" and "Total" is too small (i.e. non-existent) and the display of dimensions in the summary isn't very sexy but I think that's one of the things that is still WIP. Also the Note underneath might be bit unfortunately worded. Maybe this is better: "Note: You may rotate the 3D furniture by holding down the left mouse button and dragging it around."

While the site looks very clean and slick (which I like) I feel it has a bit too much dead space going on between the different segments, but I guess that's just how websites are built nowadays to be more mobile and tablet friendly.

Anyway, great job overall!

The mail address got hidden, could you maybe share it again but with a space in between, would love to play around with it for a bit? Would love to play around with it

Thanks for the new copypasta! No, but seriously, you got some really solid advice from an industry professional there. You should really give it more thought instead of going into full defense mode about people trying to push you down. Many of us have been in the same shoes as you and learned to not bite more off than we can chew. Now we try to relay that experience to you so you can avoid wasting not only your precious time and effort but also of those who work with you,... but I guess that's something you have to learn on your own?

Anyway, that's just my view. Of course you're free to ignore it and go about your day. Just remember that it never hurts to listen to feedback and review it. In the end it's all up to you and what you make of it.

Happy new year to you as well!

Now we can actually steal maps from COD! Cheers man

As far as I know only two maps were disqualified because of it. Both of them had missing models when I looked at them at the deadline, which was a certain exclusion criteria for me when judging, since they made the maps largely unplayable. So I don't think there is that much of an issue in this case as it may seem when reading this thread.

Anyway, in hindsight I agree that the wording was a bit too ambiguous and could've been better,... certainly something to be improved upon in future competitions.

Lol, you're right, in this case it would actually be good

Pixel Camo was a massive failure, Multicamo is having its comeback.
