This is all id1 ijed, no mods here :) 

map shots look really good, but you should get a better engine! 

Can't see shit on the first and third shot. But the second one looks nicely weird. 

Are you suggesting that I use a certain engine of the Fitz variety, instead of the one that I have loved and grown accustomed to? :) 

Looks terrifying!

The second shot was inspired by Prometheus, no?

Looking seriously cool.

when you�re done with this map, I think i will know it inside out.
Nice to let us follow your progress so detailed...
Shot is nice though.. 

I think you should go crazier with it, make it taller with turrets and everything. 

and expand on it... Also, align the textures under the curved ledge bit! Otherwise people will lose their mind! 

Maybe put a rock structure inbetween... 

 

will the Quaketastic info be updated here? 

someone please do it and also mention that the maximum filesize is currently 128mb, and if someone needs to upload more, contact me

but OH MY GOD YES I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW SOMEONE NEEDED TO DO THIS!

Shesp1 is one of my favs.

We can always use more IKWhite! Also, love the coloured lighting. The thing I love about white/light grey texture sets is that they are sort of a blank slate for your lighting. shadows are immediately apparent and become part of the texture, and even the faintest of colours can change the mood entirely. 

My discomfort may be misleading. Coloured lighting could be used so well if used tastefully and with restraint 

That yellow light stands out like a sore thumb. Even if it was a "shoot me" secret, I'd recommend changing it. 

...we meet again... 

the yellow light is good, i think it would be to drag without it, but there needs to be more than just 1. don't make everything yellow lights, there needs to be a mix, done in a way it would make sense to make you have certain tall lights that are yellw and the rest are white. or maybe the yellow lighting comes from the sunlight, which means change the sky. that way that top dome can have a ray of yellow lighting. it would mean most areas of the level where need some sort of peek into the outside so the sunlight can get in. 

making the color more subtle. 

I'm still experimenting with lighting, since IKWhite is a very singular theme. I figured having a few warm lights would be a good idea, but I'd like to keep the thing mostly light cold blue (the only white light is the one from the sky so far). I'd like to keep the night sky.

The yellow light might be too strong though. 

I'd agree with taking the yellow light down a touch - when it's surrounded by all that blue you'd probably even get away with not colouring it and it would look warm. Also, if you want a copy of http://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/dome/ that's been palette-swapped from ikblue to ikwhite, just drop me an e-mail and I'll hook you up!
