Don't forget this fact:
As the world's population is approximately 6.7 billion, China represents a full 20% of the world's population so one in every five people on the planet is a resident of China.

After watching the first 4 episodes, it's a bit unfair to call it a series without a plot. You need to watch it 'til the end to understand it, or even watch them again, to get the full picture. It depends on how much attention you pay to the details.
It's a series, where you need to think after watching it, and you don't get everything handed to you in terms of story in the first episodes.
As for the animation - it's minimalistic, but I wouldn't call it horrible. I for example, like it. It fits with the mood of the whole series.
Lain is strange and isn't your usual anime, but that's why I like it.

What everyone else said, especially about lighting being very poor ('cept for screenie 4, it's pretty nice there).
Arcitecture is pretty decent, though could use some more detail in screenies 5 (good to see you're paying attention to ceiling detail) and 6 (more vertical stuff like beams and pipes to break up the horizontal detail).
Texturing's alright, though I personally find that metal trim texture applied to the sides of that hole in Scrn. 3 pretty unfitting. If you were to extend those vertical supports through that hole, it'd look so much better imo.

Ok i played it. im going to be harsh but its because of pure reality.
- no hev suit - no crowbar or any other guns form the start (i had to pick up dead barny guns when they died) - very short - one of the buttons opened both of the doors, and then the one at the end when pressed closed the last door so i couldnt get out. - those doors are too fast for big metal doors. + you made a cube. yay!

Oh god, ce centre serveur est horrible!
Skals, i would lower that water trench to make it more obvious. There are some fine HL textures in halflife.wad to simulate corrosion. I see no corrosion at all on the third screenshot.

@saw: "Number 3 looks really strange. For how straight even and linear that green water or whatever is, its weird that there is nothing containing it, i think you should lower the ground where its at to make it look like its flowing through a canal type thing."
Dude. the water is 2 units lower than the floor. better yet, it has a 8 unit trench wich creates the effect of acid errosion. whats wrong with that?
@AT: Ty, and why horrible? you havent seen the whole room.

Also the way it turns, maybe drop it down like a short waterfall there its not as weird.
I enjoyed playing this map... It truly recreates (or pre-creates) Black Mesa. I especially liked the boxes and glass. (Plus you made the glass breakable like in the original map)

Yes, but you cant warez it when your a company.
Rim, i indeed look forward to flash 10, 3D'ish stuff and all that jazz is going to make a big leap in the casual games market. Unfortunately its immensely overpriced.

That's what I have read.

he's a newbie , everyone was like that at the start !
and the animation is horrible
You can't call me an adrenaline junkie, I like calm series, I hate Naruto and all this kind of common shit, but this serie is just bad.
More people speak Mandarin as their native language than English.

Keep up the good work.
- no hev suit
- no crowbar or any other guns form the start (i had to pick up dead barny guns when they died)
- very short
- one of the buttons opened both of the doors, and then the one at the end when pressed closed the last door so i couldnt get out.
- those doors are too fast for big metal doors.
+ you made a cube. yay!
hey, are those light_spots? well ill check this out anyway
I rest my case.
Skals, i would lower that water trench to make it more obvious. There are some fine HL textures in halflife.wad to simulate corrosion. I see no corrosion at all on the third screenshot.
And yeah, it is short, but long enough to confuse the shit out of me, with quite a few protagonists having multiple alter-egos
EDIT:
Spike: It's not for everyone. Especially not for adrenaline junkies. Just because you don't like this kind of stuff, doesn't mean, that it's shit.

But I absolutely agree with saw, that water in screenie 3 looks horrible at this stage.

@potatis_invalid: ...probably because of all that blunt head trauma i think satchmo was talking... no, trying to talk about.
I asked a few questions when I first joined, and look at how long I've been here now.
Fireworks alone is priced at over $400 full iirc, which is crap considering what a lot of FREE alternatives offer.
