Apartment

Okay, I played this, not half bad.
++The idea - It's creative how you attempted to place this on the moon.
--The Suffocation - It makes no sense at all how when all the doors are broken and there are several large holes, that you don't suffocate.
--The Doors - At first, I thought that the doors moved, but after finding that they were breakable, the map became easier.
--The Spawns - Along with the Door thing, I was spawned in the bathroom, the door wasn't working, and I couldn't fit in the vent. It really confused me and I had to commit suicide to figure this out.
++The Area - The map did make me feel like I was in a regular home, you did really good designing the rooms, only you did get rather lazy at some points.

I'll give it a 3.

Not horrible first map! very blocky all around, but at least it's consistent. (i usually make exterior walls 16 units and interior walls 8, but do whatever looks the best for your map)

Not really a whole lot to the map, and i know you are a beginner, but here are a few things i noticed:

-lights. nice that you had switchable lights all over, but put up some fixtures to have them "shine" from, and not just naked pointlights. =)

-your breakable boards were fine, but to get rid of that weird "stretched" look, select a face of one of the boards and click "face" in texture properties. Having weird texture scales might do this too, so try and keep the scales between .25 and l.00 for starters.
(Also if you want it lined up correctly--the grains of the wood facing the right way--, select the edge of one of the boards, and ALT-Right-Click to the face of the board.)

-you can see visual errors around the cracks in the floor due to brushes not being snapped together. Use Vertex manipulation to snap the vertices around the perimeter of the holes to grid points. (lower the grid size using [ and ] buttons.)

the point of the suffocation is to prevent people from camping the back-pack of death and the outside in general, if that at all explains it...i originally decided to make acid rain or something every once and a while. Having a house in space was more random and awesome sounding, sooooo...

Also thanks for giving constructive criticism. I appreciate it.

I think there's a better sky than 'black'. try 'space'

A question, if I may?

Why did you name this map apartment when clearly it is just a house on outerspace?

I dunno... ...it started off as an apartment but grew into whatever you call this. Also about the black sky... ...it's supposed to be space, but whenever I try to compile it it switched back to black. It doesn't do this for any other sky zone...

Did you type it in right? You may want to see the tutorial on environment. At the beginning of the tutorial, it lists all of the skyboxes you can use and a guide on how to use them.

Yes...yes i did...
I checked. The spelling is correct. I changed the sky to and from every environment I know, and everything but space and neb6 work...

._.

Add the RMF, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks ^_^

...waiting to see the RMF.

I put it up...
...also sorry about the long response time, I'm working on a cs map.

You didnt edit the download yet...

It won't let me update it... ...I think it hates me.

I got the map.

Apparently, you didn't compile it right. I used Atom's Compilator and it worked the first try.

This is a first map which means it has some leeway when it comes to the score but at the same time it really shouldn't have made it to Map of the Month for March. There were many maps submitted that month which were stunning to look at but for some reason this got six votes. The closest runner up got one vote. This got six votes and made it to Map of the Month. How does that make sense? Guhh.
