Ghull: Generally speaking, this community doesn't really like fy maps and the like, unless there's something truly different about them. Don't let the bad comments dampen your spirits though: keep mapping.

thx for the info, anyway this might be my last hl1 fy map

Some neat stuff imo.

FY maps are traditionally under-detailed and generally boring killboxes, but yours has lots of interesting elements.

+Spawns--neat that you come out of shoots
+Looks like it could be fun to play
+some neat albeit weird detailing
+generally a pleasing layout for this type of map
+neat concept with the healing fountain
+The env_beam sprite choice--the ones that look like a oxy-acetylene torch--, were weird but still cool

=maybe more varied routes too the fountain.
=Textures aren't the greatest could be a lot worse!
=The "hedges" comprising the maze/cover in the map could be more interestingly concieved.
=Lighting is adequete but could be better
=r_speeds aren't great but it's playable.

-Water under the chutes is strange. I think you did it to protect the starting players from falling damage, but you can render the water invisible, construct pools for it so it looks better.
-sounds?

Anyway, a decent FY map, but certainly room for improvement!

thx
