Some Shots 
 
Questionable texture choices imo but it sure does have that Doom feel :) Cool shots. 
Wait 
That's not Doom is it? :O 
 
Hahaha. Yeah, I was thinking it good for Quake but if that's Doom - HOLY CRAP! 
I Thought It Was Obvious 
Stop Trying To Sexually Harass That Cyberdemon! 
I just assumed it was Quake with Doom textures ~_~ until I noticed the lighting didn't look like Quake lighting and then I was like "Whoa that's not Quake ~_~ at all" and I posted about it :o 
Negke 
lol 
Negke 
looks awesome, glad you're following your heart. 
Resurrection Of Evil ? 
Nah: It is Resurrection of Doom !

Anyway: looks promising ;) 
Coincidence 
I recently reinstalled Doom to play/replay and catch up on a ton of wads I missed out. Looks neat, has just the right amount of details and a good texture scheme going on there. I'm worried the first room might be a bit too tight, but that depends on the approach to gameplay. Hopefully it comes out before I get bored of Doom again, looking forward to it. 
Some More UT3 Work

I'll probably keep posting these every couple of days for feedback and general comments until I finish it (which should be pretty soon, so I won't spam you into oblivion with these :)) 
Oopz 
Not sure that link will actually work...try this if it doesn't...

it's cool, but the 3 buildings to the right are completely devoid of lighting (beyond ambient). drop some in there to get some nice shadows going. 
Does Ue3 Support Baked Lighting? 
i thought it did, but i'm wondering why every other screenshot i see looks so shitty in the more diffuse areas where you need global illumination. And then, it even does support one or two bounces of dynamic gi, does it? At least there were some videos that showed an effect like that. 
 
Unreal Tournament 3 doesn't have a global illumination solution, but the UDK does. UE3, the engine, does but it was added after UT3 shipped. 
Likely Won't Be A Masterpiece 
Combining several recent mini-projects together into a prototype test and decided the best type of test would be a small single player release.

FitzQuake 0.85 (which supports .alpha) + rotation support + mp3 playback + Nexuiz texture set:

Whoah... 
baker maps! 
Oh No! 
I was real close to finishing the updated "Well of Wishes" and now, because of Negke, I've gone and wasted an entire morning playing my old DooM levels. I even downloaded a DooM level editor! (I hope I can find a copy of that last DooM map I never finished). 
More Wip Shots 
Some more shots of my level

Really starting to get into this...I could definitely see myself enjoying working on some more Unreal stuff in the future :) 
Something... 
...from me, for Duke3D if anyone (!) cares. Still early stages.

Blitz: That's looking great, but the road with cars in the side of the mountain looks out of place with the Shinto temple theme.

quakis: Holy shit that's Duke 3D? Is that like a custom engine or something or does Duke3D just look better than I remember it? 
That Exactly What I Thought 
on both accounts 
 
blitz: i'm not trying to be an ass, but it's hard for me to comment on it because i'm not sure what you created and what was original ut assets... on the surface, it looks really nice, but, for example, did you make the rocks/mountains and the temple? i guess the status on top of the building is a stock model?
i think you really have to know the game to be able to properly critique it because otherwise, you don't know what's new and what's part of the stock game. 
Necros 
With newer engines, it's not so much about what you made yourself as it is reaching a certain level of detail and polish, which takes enough time as it is without having to worry about making custom assets.

You could very easily dismiss someone posting screenshots of a Crysis level and say "oh it only looks good because the engine makes it look good" or "the artists did all the work for you" but that'd be missing the point of what kind of skills it takes on the designer's end to make it look that good. They may not be the exact same skills that it takes to make a cool Quake level, but they're still skills nonetheless.

So yeah, nothing in that screenshot is anything that I made in 3dsmax or anything, but putting the scene together, lighting it, creating the terrain, scripting it, etc. etc. takes a good amount of work :) 
 
that's cool. i guess i was waiting for you to define the boundaries on which you wanted critique. if you're after feedback on the overall composition, i'd say it's pretty good, although i agree with zwiffle in that the tunnel filled with busted cars seems out of place with the temples. if there was a stronger thematic connection between the two, that would really help.
also, why are the windows on the two temples in the first shot different colours? it's kind of distracting, like the further, dimmer one, is less important.

btw, is it possible to upload larger screenshots? they are wide, but not tall which makes seeing details pretty much impossible.
