• If those are the actual visuals you're planning on having on the map, I'd recommend making your own. Not only that, I'd try to make the geometry a bit more realistic in its architecture.
• I don't know about that lighting.
• I'd try to make the routes on the left side of the map a bit more interesting, as in something that is possibly more vertically based.

(I think you mean the pictures that i've posted you are talking about) no those are from my map, just to let you see how it is coming along..

[Twan_Neppe]

I've looked into any possibilities for more vertical difference on the left side of the map. I came to the conclusion that MID had some potential in this case.

So i started trying something and it came out pretty well i would say. Here is the result...

The shadows look pretty harsh.

Well your ambient values in the light_environment can easily be like 150-200 with a lighter color than you have now (ambient color needs to be a little what the skybox is, so light-blueish could do the trick).

This is what the numbers are in the pictures, brightness is 520...

Also 3kliksphilip made a video of it how bright textures improve the brightness of the level. I've tested it in some areas and it worked, but the level would feel less realistic with all those bright textures..

Maybe brightness color would make a difference to make it more yellow instead of what it is now?

Small update before the playtesting tonight.

Version 1.06

- improved the lighting so the shadows aren't as dark anymore
- retextured some buildings with brighter textures so the map would be brighter
- added an elevated part for T's to peak MID

Not sure how to do it myself, but perhaps if you edit the original post it allows you to edit the title somewhere.
