Glad you took my advice and switched it to dev textures. Looks a lot better then before. When the fast download server is up again ill add it to gg10s map rotation

Looks fantastic man. Nice work!

Told ya designing wasn't that hard :P

I will do a proper review when I get home.

Pretty nice for a first map. Figured I could give some criticism.

1) Spawn points seem easy to spawn camp.
2) Wooden Boxes don't really fit the map theme.
3) Some textures not lined up properly example.
4) Visible nodraw texture example.
5) Black texture seems 'unnatural'.
6) Lighting could do with some more work.

Solid first map though, good job.

Ok So i had a look at the map.

Pros:
- It is well designed (not just a cube).
- Balanced.
- Good game play potential for GGDM and normal GG

Cons:
- The textures don't look that great together. I would only use dev textures on a dev map (using different coloured textures). They don't look good with anything else.
- The lighting at the top of the map doesn't look good - recommend using light_spot entities at the top with high brigtness (600?) and put a small light entity towards the bottom (80 brightness max).
- The wall textures seem a little bland - might be nice to change the texture to something like brick (which has lines that break up the walls and makes it look more detailed) or add some trim at the top and bottom.

Improvements:
- What I said above in the cons section can be easily improved on.
- Move the Spawns from inside the Octagon to the outside of the Octagon. No one likes to walk backwards in a GG map.
- Either change the wall textures or change the floor/ceiling/crates.

All in all its a great first map (a shit load better than my earlier work) and you should be proud.

Its also hard to put your maps out to the public for criticism so congratz on that as well.

If you need help with textures let me know and I'd be happy to do it
