Showed this to my mother. She said: "What can I say, it's like you're in there".
Every mapper touches a point where using the skills acquired he gives something beautiful for the world to see. Eventually that point goes higher and higher, but for now I think you conquered a new peak, Kasperg.
It is not necessarily what you see that "makes" a map, but the whole ambiance is responsible for the feel it creates. Your accomplishment surpasses our everyday mapping chat-talk, and the criticism it should receive wouldn't be fair if it stayed in the same land of discussions.
This is a clear display of hard-work and dedication, and I'm not even referring to the modern architecture you implied which left me in awe. I'm talking about those minuscule details that create atmosphere, that usually only affect the subconcious. The numerous objects within the house, be it books, vases, desks, or even culminating with the vinyl player( wonderful jazz choice, you hit the nail with that one) are a mapping nightmare, yet they help create a unique setting that is this map.
The surroundings are participating in creating that "real feel" and I have nothing to comment about them.
Although you chose a winter setting, the ambient sounds are a weird choice. I feel more like in summer with those sounds! The texturing is good, but the lighting is a bit harsh in my opinion. It like that shade of bright yellow...yet it is a bit too.. bright!
I left out the gameplay element since it doesn't apply here, I also left out the "story" element since this is not a Dear Esther'eque map either.

I wouldn't say it's a normal case, they mentioned I was one of three students who were getting one, so it must have been a combination of luck, and the fact that two hours in labs per week isn't really enough for us to do the coursework so I was in a bit of a pickle.

Your University bought you a computer? A new teacher which introduced us to his course today( he looks like Dave Grohl) talked about how different are western universities, they're more open.

I really like what you have done so far, i will be watching for updates! (also found a Red book, but it wouldn't open for me) ='(
He was not kidding I guess...
I hadn't heard of those other games, I'll have to take a better look at them later.
you get cannons that launch hordes of microzombies into your enemies lava castle
OR we can just have headcrab cannons.
ohhh if only i had enough time to code.
SCHOOL WHY WONT YOU ENDDDD
You can also control NPCs, but they are just builders with very low damage.
