Awesome, super cool to see new maps being made!

I like the water on the ceiling, giving me some E4 vibes. 

Thanks, glad you like it. I'm planning to use water as an alternate means of transport, replacing lifts etc. 

Whole map feels like it's upside down (in a good way). Looking forward to seeing what you do with the theme :) 

There are 15 levels(plus a skill/episode select) and everyone was designed with hipnotic entities.

Does pretty much everyone have "hipnotic"?

Cool! It's one of the things I loved in Liquid Despair and I wish this kind of stuff was made more often. Looking forward to playing this. 

Pulsar and I are almost done with our collaborative effort, Leptis Magna, and hope to have it released in about a week.

I know this isn't really the right thread to ask in (but when has that ever stopped anyone here?), but what do people do when they're collaborating on Quake maps? Just take turns working on it? That's all I can think of. 

Ionous always did like it big. Can't wait to get lost in that "edgey" world. 

Looks cool man, hyped! Gonna put some black metal on in the background when I play it. 

So tall, I can't wait to get lost in there! 

Looks awesome. Love the textures - are they new or sourced from something else? 

(but thinking "damn! That's gonna be a very long week...") 

waht does it mean, anyway, i like the skybox tho 

It's the name of a carthaginian city.

[b]are they new or sourced from something else? [/b] i believe it's a heretic2 texture set 

are they new or sourced from something else? i believe it's a hexen2 texture set 

Pulsar and I worked on this map 'chainmap' style, handing it off after working on it, sometimes multiple times in the same day. We each had our 'main' areas, and occasionally pushed forward into each others area when inspiration struck.

Ha, BIG indeed.

A fine way to enjoy this map. You'll probably need more than one album.

Our vertical building styles are on full display here.

The textures are mostly from Hexen2, with a lot of augmentation from custom textures from Sock and Pulsar.

Ha, MFX. 

go map

@Ionous Did you guys take some architectural inspiration from the actual ruins of the city? 

That title was actualy selected at the stage when the map was almost built. I googled 'stone city' searching for a good title. And I think it's really a good title for such map.

*spunks* 

Is it normal that I want to lick my screen? 

discouraging new mappers everywhere and disheartening the veterans.

That or its inspiring, not sure which.
