I think it's done...

Thanks for the feedback. I've taken most of it into account and altered what I could from the beta. Hope you find most of it has been improved.

By the way, here are a few photo references I used as a starting point for the map. I thought they were pretty cool. Not sure how popular these are exactly, you might already know about them...

Dubtown

the sand looks excellent, the roundness and texture make it look great, it looks as if you factored wind into it and say if theres a wall here and if wind hit it the sand would pile here etc, the grass ties in in nice, and the fog just finishes off the atomosphere, its excellent

[von*ferret]

lookslike a nice polished level to me, congrats!

[Evert]

Looking really nice.

[mikezilla]

what did you light your level with? The hand of God?

Looks stellar.

[Mazy]

Looks great, really like the desaturated bright look

One thing though (and keep in mind that this is without having played the map). It looks VERY similar all round, and especially with this kinda colour choice it would be pretty neat if you had some areas that really stood out. I dont mean that you should put in some flickering purple and green light, but variation in lighting is usually a good guide to making people learn maps faster. But as I said i havent even played it, and regardless then it looks great.

I agree a 100% with mazzle

Now that looks like a solid map! Great work!

[JynxDaddy]

I love the little RPG nest I could see this map being great fun.

I liked the little puddles of water too, nice touch.

[csharp]

that is awesome

[jaardsi]

Easy with the fancy terrain! A bit on the monotonous side but good never the less.

Can't say anything about the gameplay and flow since I haven't ran it ingame.

Looks very solid indeed. Now make it CSS map and people might actually play it...

[Zacker]

Looks really good! You do however seem to have some minor problem with the smoothing groups on the round stuff.

[ReNo]

Too sexy looking not to take a closer look. Downloaded, will comment later

Just ran around the level abit. Generally looks very good in alot places. Few things I noticed...

- Your fps problems are caused by point_spotlights being set as dynamic lights.

- Too many ladders (and for god sake mappers! use old ladder method (func_ladder type thing. In HL2 its "ladder" textured brush))

- Too grey, needs more color imo, atleast in few "indoor" areas.
