I experimented with taking some extremely high-res screenshots of some locations in The Core. Whatcha think?

Can't say much, looks pretty awesome. I'll give my thoughts about the pictures, just my opinion of what could be improved.

Also, won't that green stuff in picture 3 look better if it were translucent?
Keep up the good work! If there is any need of criticism or testing, ask, it would be a pleasure to help you.

Really awesome feedback, thanks!
The only thing I disagree with is the "too bright/yellow" bit you pointed out. I'm trying to direct the player up to that area, and from most angles the yellow light really contrasts the surroundings.

I was thinking about the light, that you made it on purpose to direct the player, I was right, YAY :). Well it's fine if there is a light source which I just can't see from the angle at the picture. ^^ Is there any stuff in need to be viewed? Because I have time at the moment which I often don't.

I disagree with that yellow light. I thought first "What's going on here?" then my eye went to the yellow light part and thought "Go there perhaps?" so I find it to be rather effective aesthetic guidance.

Stop teasing us with pretty pictures, I want to play The Core already.

I have to agree with that annotation for the last picture, that looks a bit odd. But if that's the biggest problem there is to find... you're doing good.

Legit question, is there fog in this mod. It looks like there's some in that second screenshot from above.

I think they're running Spirit, which i think supports fog. So it's plausible /speculation

OR they just followed the tuts around the web to add fog support (not quite hard). Also they want to stay native HL as much as possible.

You should make comparison images like BM:S team made. I mean, to show the difference between the old version of the shot and the new one (with a thumbnail in the corner of the old shot.)

That would help see the difference between the two imho.

Nice improvement, by the way! And I fucking love the new logo! :D

There are currently thirty maps in The Core. Thirty. This is what they all look like:

Is the Core ACTUALLY soon to release?

Can you believe it? Black Mesa Source, Duke Nukem Forever, Freeman's Mind, and soon the CORE will all be finished before HL3 comes out!

Those screens look very smexy Archie, soooo pretty! :D

I look forward to this release much more than BM:S, since it's gurlsource and homegrown. I STILL haven't played BM:S yet(don't yell at me!), so maybe it would be apt to play these epic remakes sequentially :)
