[HL2:DM] DM-Permanent released!

[markishome359]

Hey guys! I just finished my first map and I thought I'd share it with you.

It's called DM-Permanent for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and it's a remake of a user-made map for the original Unreal Tournament, DM-Permanent][ by Frostblood.

I stuck with a simple, preexisting layout for my first map so I could focus purely on learning the tools. I stayed as faithful as possible to the original, although I changed the outdoor environment (which I'm quite proud of) and added a little extra detail in some places.

Please check out my blog post for comparison shots and some "behind the scenes" information! For now, I'll just leave you with some stand-alone pics:

Looks Nice!

But it needs more details and variations for the walls.

With maybe screenshot 2 exempted, the rest of the lighting is very very flat. You should rework it and make your entries and exits come out a lot more. Particularly in a MP level where exploration and research is not exactly the name of the game.
