For a first beta, it looks ok. It is a bit empty, but i think you will add things with the next betas. And you should add a few colours.

Good luck for a nice beta 2.

It was connected to the wall on the other side.

Post by: jitspoe on August 28, 2008, 04:37:31 AM: I've uploaded the map to the beta server. See PM for details. As others have said, it looks very empty. Kind of like a shell of a map that has just been started. The lighting is also very bland. You should look into sun lighting as Garrett suggested. The ramp at the base is annoying - you should slant it so it can be walked up. The planks for the bridges look weird. Planks should be nailed to something, not suspended by the ends. I think making slats out of solid wood grain textures and resting them on top of the metal strips would look better.
