Awesome stuff

I am glad to have you back again! Have you already uploaded your latest work to the SVN?

2nd screenshot is my favoryte

I like it so far - though it does not seem to have as much detail in some areas as your other watery map. Still, I like its unique theme!

Also, this map overwrites the previous H1M6 that I moved to this H2M5 slot, to start MY H1M6. I guess Torm can dig up an earlier build and move that layout elsewhere, as it hasn't been touched in years.

Yeah, agreed. The problem is that I'm lacking some creativity and inspiration to add extra detail for this map. I must say it was easier to add detail in H2M2 because of the layout of that map.

Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome...

Attached the old H2M5

Added some new screens. Currently the map's layout is about 90% done.

The last screenshot caught my attention and I'd like to give a couple of notes on it if I may:

The setting of the screenshot looks like it might fit better in an episode three or four map, IMO. It has a kind of red-ish atmosphere; with that fire burning in the back and that red glow coming up from the pit? (It's a pit, isn't it?) on the left. On the other hand, you got the first screenshot which looks to me as a classic E2 Heretic-styled setting; with the distinctive marine-colored textures and blu-ish cold atmosphere, which is what this map style should be, if I'm not mistaken.

The other point that I'd like to mention is the ceiling lights. This being a Heretic map, I feel that they are a little out of place. When I first saw the screenshot, I was reminded of UTNT and Doom, but not Heretic.

I don't know if my opinion even matters or not, since I'm not involved in the development of the project in anyway or another but I felt like mentioning this. So, if that is working for you and the rest of the team, then that is all that matters I guess.

Anyway, keep up the good work and good luck with the rest of the map(s).
