The Katacombs

Yes, this one has a definite Quake 3 Arena look and feel to it. If you have played my map "Puzzle Box", then you will notice a similar feel and look with it as well. And yes, another map with liquid to fall into and get cooked, another map with walkways over said liquid. Lava in this case. And flame pots. This is another map that I saw in its nearly complete form in my head. It was (simply? lol!) a matter of translating it, as always. This one actually came out surprisingly close to the exact map that rolled through my head. Since I think "in little movies" (similar to those who think "in pictures"), most of the time, a map will come to me in my head, and I will be in 1st or 3rd person view initially, doing a free-flow drive through the map. Most of the time, As I move about, something might not seem... right. My mind will then either correct, or adapt to what I am "viewing".
IMO, this map, like many of mine, is about the ambience. I create all of my maps while working with an r_gamma of 1.5, and if your monitor is calibrated properly, then, in my opinion, using an r_gamma of 1.5 will provide the best experience. I really ike my altars. Please take the time to die on them please.
