Still simple. Didn't want to leave that first one without an update :D

Some really cool stuff especially later on, I do think some breakables need a higher HP though. Marvelous! :)
Also, not gonna lie, those candles on the floor as light sources made me tingly. So, so good. All of it. Great stuff... oh cool, i love that monsters can brake brushes on their own, especially that melee attacks can do it. awesome.
@shambler what is so genious about it? I mean, breakables already been made in hexen.
yeah, it looks cool and, as it was noted by necros, I like that monsters can destroy those specific brushes on their own. But I wouldn't call it genious anyhow. But I wouldn't call it genious anyhow.
Don't worry, you won't ever have to worry about anyone mistaking you for a genius. but how the video shows that feature has been implemented, both from an AI sense and a mapping sense!
My one complaint is that it sometimes lack a little clarity in the visual language -- i.e. these brown bricks are breakable, those ones aren't -- but I'm sure sock will sort that out before release.
Yeah, and the way the AI interacts with it is cool. Makes it feel like a native feature rather than an add-on. Them pathing to a boarded over window and busting through looks great!
Needs some slightly different shade of brown for the breakable rocks perhaps. Or make the cracks more evident.
I know I'll miss it otherwise :D can the breakables be made weapon specific... axe for wood, grenades and rockets for bricks, everything for glass?
if we're talking a modern game, it would have a giant arrow pointing at the breakable, then perhaps a qte such as spamming the space bar to break said breakable.
I'm just talking about clarity of design. If some brown bricks break and others don't, that's going to turn a cool feature into something annoying.
And I don't pretend that sock doesn't know this I need some feedback for the "final" version of my Quoth map before I can host it on Quaddicted.
It is a short map and was made so I can have more experience in Quake mapping and making maps that aren't recreations, which is why it's kind of blocky. screenshots: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/25/1434630724-escape1.png http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/25/1434630726-escape2.png http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/25/1434630713-escape4.png http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/25/1434630765-escape8.png download link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/449awkn0ijiw8kx/escape.zip I enjoyed your map. I think it has a strong Doom feel, so you can say it's blocky by design. You're right, it's short, but it's consistent and looks good. I couldn't find any of the two secrets, but maybe it's just me.
I played it with the MarkV engine, without the Quoth mod. But don't realease it yet. It probably has leaks, because all exterior surfaces are visible. You didn't just put the whole level inside a box, did you? Two things about this room in escape8.png you posted:
1- The open corridor above this room leading to the end is a nice touch. This corridor should have rails instead of solid walls, so the player can see the room below. It shows off your design and add to the "accomplishment" sense: reminds you of a fight you already had. Wich leads me to... 2- The room seems too big for too few/weak enemies. You feel like "what was supposed to happen here?". This is a big room with a valuable item, the YA. The battle here should be memorable. Maybe a Fiend room, not Enforcers'. Or maybe the enforcers would be in a level above, surrounding the room, giving them advantage. P.S.: yes, I didn't play it with the Quoth mod, but hope these comments worth something.
