Due to past mistakes in the government, they lost all of their credibility. Even if a new guy steps in, people are still going to be sore against the system as a whole.

Geometry: Has nice construction value to it. The windows are of a clean style, and the modern glass wall around the pool makes for a nice touch I've rarely seen in maps. I like that part. It fit well with the map. However, the 'ramp' like glass and floor could be tweaks. I would rather see the glass removed from the natural part, and stairs added to the path along the sides. The room itself is generally blocked out. Thats ok, but it needs more angles, pillared walls or collumns, or other archetectural interest.

Textures: They are fitting. Color choice is ok given they all stay within a cool tone. Can't say I recognize them from anything which is good. (Custom?)There is a decent mix between the defaults and the custom ones. Nothing really clashed against the existing quality. I didn't see a problem with scaling since marble and materials like that can easily get away with a little tiling. The down scaling made things crispy and clearer than the normal settings.

Lighting: Could use some color to accent the fountain and the water. Pools often have little lights around the endge, or perhaps lights around the room itself. The lighting coming through the windows was ok, but it seemed like the only source.

This map would greatly benifit from lighting sprites ;)

Ambience: Its good for what it is. Nothing special or complex, sound in Goldsource is iffy anyhow.

Entities: Friggin awesome how the fountains worked! I can't imagine how they were made.

Overall: Impressive, well made, and nice to look at. Given its for the Rooms competition, gameplay is out of the question. For what it is, its really nice, and knowing how far you can go with the entity work, I wish to see some of the same effort applied into the design of it. Its not hard to find a nice looking room or building and copy some of the features. Its all about time and effort in the end. I would love to see more maps like this in the future!

Sorry for the brick of text, I just like this map. I do get a slight feeling of hastiness from it though. Seems like all of that effort went into those fountains :D

probably wasn't done uploading when you downloaded it. Who knows whats wrong with it. Also, fountain.wad wasn't included. All should be good now... unless I forgot something, there is a ton of crap in this map.

Stunningly beautiful.

Sprites could be set to glow, but its minor versus the rest of the map. Everything is cleanly done, well lit, and finessed with great textures.

Creativity is like sex, too much too fast and yer balls turn blue.

A good idea is to either do smaller projects, or a larger project in smaller sections. Either way, you have to break it down and make things possible. Also, do not be hastey. Do the artist's dance and step away from the project and look at it the next day. You might have something new to bring to the project if you go slow. Another thing is to tease yourself with it by limiting how much you work on it, like give yourself only 2 hours a day or something. Doing so could force you to think about it more and perhaps make wiser choices.

At least that's what my student success class roughly taught me a few years ago. Hope that provides some insight.
