edit: i'm retarded, here's the link:
http://student.cs.appstate.edu/freemanc ... _beta1.zip
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.

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.

It might have served him better if you gave HIS level some feedback =)

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!
