IMPORTANT: also grab the updated .bsp and .aas that fixes the overbright lighting, here:

Hello. I've come to a good stopping point in terms of detail, so I figured I'd get some more feedback on some things before charging forward. I tried to incorporate people's feedback from last alpha, but if something remains that you still think I should change definitely let me know!

Things that I'd like to improve:
r_speeds - highest is 18k or so, I might upload the .map file if people want to give me some suggestions on vis'ing.
lighting, some of the models are splotchy looking

Feedback I'm looking for:
Suggestions for making it feel more like you're "underwater?"
Item placement?
Bot play?
Layout?

Thanks for any suggestions/comments you might have!

more blue in the lighting? maybe some water running down the walls in places, or use puddles/water as noisemakers on given routes around the map? a few pressure gauges/pipes to support the shipping/submariner theme. that nifty 3d skybox thing that ydnar did could be really cool with an underwater theme - e.g. showing other objects further away on the sea bed.

Anthem: Thanks for the quick feedback! I'll respond to it soon, but I'm wondering if it's somewhat bright for everyone? I just got home to my big monitor where I'd been developing and the compile in the .pk3 seems way too bright to me. I'll upload a newer version whenever I fix it.

edit: yeah, seems like my compile was incorrect last time, I'm uploading a fixed .bsp and updated .aas now.

[Anthem]

Yes, the fixes are much better.

I really like those texture, and the rest of the way it looks. It looks really original. I thought that it played really good as well.

[.:Z:.]

add "in the water" fog and some fish
the animation on windows make it a little bit faster or "noisy"

nice map

[Anthem]

That's great, Especially I love railgun area I hope you are planning to add some details, because now are all corridors almostly same.

Whatever your new versions may look like, here's something that bothered me and that most probably still exist in more recent versions:


1st pic: try to seal off the space under the stairs, it's possible to get there (legally, no cheating necessary, although you have to try a bit) and for example camp out others coming down here.


2nd pic: raise the upper part of the door frame I bang my virtual head every time I jump down there. No more aspirin!
