I didn't mean cel shading, I meant actual cartoon stuff, child-friendly things etc. not bloody monsters.

There's Diver, a game about fishing and looting underwater treasures trying to avoid aquatic predators, should be quite child friendly, haven't tried it.
If someone would want to, there's nothing stopping you from making a child friendly game, even hl mod could possibly be child friendly after all.

There's also QuakeCraft mod, it's more of a test if Minecraft-like gameplay could be possibly done with QC. Tried it, mod creator proven that back then it could be done.

Texturing is done. Gave it a gray, washed out texture so it'd better fit it's purpose...
tries to cross a river by jumping on a stone in the middle of it chomp! turns out the stone was an aquatic predator that just bit his leg off

Dark fantasy != Grimdark
The fish on it's own won't be an enemy and won't even attack. It'll just look derpy and follow player until the timer runs down. Then it's flesh will explode spraying blood all around, and from their fish-bones, these little motherfuckers would reanimate and run to shred player into tiny pieces....

Nice enemy for a dark forest environment. It also fits various tombs/crypts. I like this model. Reminds me of a one of STALKER 2 mutants:

Alright, I've decided to, finally, finish de_kobbl.
And, I went mad about the detail:
Yeah, if this doesn't hurt my GPU, then I'm a good mapper. 
I also put this up:
And, since the 'hall' was very boring and dull, I added some decorations:
I'll add a light or two there, too, so don't expect darkness there.
Man, I'm so excited because I haven't been mapping for a while now.

Those arches look a bit dust-like. I'd suggest you to replace them with generic ones. You also said to me in the shoutbox that the map shouldn't have a lot of detail. But looks nice overall.
And yes, a few more questions:
-Do you use any custom textures?
-Are those windows actually a part of the texture?

Well, Slade (the co-owner of GSU) said that it's OK if I put detail in the map. Whatever happens, I'm OK with lowering the detail. I mean, I'd then just make a separate map.
Custom textures - yes, a WAD given by Slade and a few made by me
Windows - well, the window:
It's actually more than one texture. 2 wall textures (brick and indoors), 1 window texture and 1 white colour texture. And of course, Null. XD
Mm, also, you're right about the arches. I should use a different texture for that...

PI_GRNMETALT from de_piranesi.wad will look good on the arches. It's also good for the pillars.

I don't make maps for them. This is my first time, lol.
Hmm, he did show me some screenshots inside J.A.C.K., but even if he does make maps, he could probably use the expertise of an external agent.

Those glows around light sources look a bit out of place, maybe you should reduce their sizes?

I found a good texture from chateau.wad, did some colour-balancing, and forged it into this:
It needs a few slight adjustments, but it looks OK for now.
@Snehk
Actually, it looks much much better in-game:
(those are old screenshots, but you get the idea)
I basically put 4 sprites around each lamp (one for every edge) and it works very well. Render Mode is Glow too, so it gives an extra layer of awesomeness.

Well, they do look better, but that's a matter of taste. I prefer smaller and more subtle or balanced effects. Those screenshots remind me of a map I was working on like a year or two ago. It was a seaside docks city closed off with alleys and castle wall, using only custom textures I made. I recall that at that time I just started using VHLT. Too bad I never finished it.
@Windawz
The thread will move on, it's seen longer periods of inactivity. Your map is definitely going to rock. Amazing job!
I worked on scaling and UV Mapping today, no screenshots taken though. The model was a bit tricky to UV Map, but I found a way - double sided planar mapping on hand-selected faces. It worked and gave me an UV Map that'd be good to work with. At current scale the model should reach thighs or at least hips of player model. Things left: texture, animation and code. Also: scrapped the fish. No need for aquatic enemies right now.

Thank you. The map, though, is only 55% completed (approximately). The hardest part is placing the sky brushes and wadincluding these CS textures.
You could send that fish to me though. Would be an amazing easter egg!
@Amder456
Dude, it's only my humble opinion, but that blue light looks really out of place. A yellow one would look much better. Great job overall.

A "boner" is when... ah well, I'm too young to know that, so I shouldn't say it. It's related to mature things in the bed, you know.

Anyway, let's see what I've done with my map:
The blue lights indicate the bomb spots.
I added this thing. And I've recently added another one with 3 boxes or lemons.
The least-detailed part of the map, i.m.o.
It's available for download (open beta), too, and I'd love to find out the framerates of others.

Ah, sweet... This map needs more russian words. Cliffs are a bit flat though.
And about that "boner": believe me, I can find you (at least I can try) hundreds of alternatives to that word in russian if you really want. Didn't get it because of a different language. I know english much worse than you do.

I wouldn't get it if it was in russian (espeially in cyryllic). It's one of those languages that I may actually try learning one day. It's not that far away from Poland too...
No progress today so far, would probably get something done by the evening.

I have that in mind, I'll add "Ðе на Б, иди на Ð!" just to confuse the players. XD
I was actually playing on this map with a Russian friend of mine, and he always rushed towards bomb spot spot B. Hahahahaha.
Also, Bosnian should have around... let me just put it this way:
If 1 alternative for that word has the mass of a peanut, then the amount of all the alternatives in south-Slavic would be equal to the mass of 4 Suns.
(I'm actually being hyperbolic on this one, but we have a lot of such words too)

Your latest works really are what I had in mind when thinking about levels for my project. Sunny yet cold ruins on the outside, with dark, creepy temple with heavy atmosphere underneath. Think that I'll work on part of Deadlands, endgame spot, some ruined keep and just wilderness.
