A very nice map.
You did some especially interesting things with the particles.

Only thing that bothered me was that it's not linear at all... Kind of hard to find the next place to go.

Anyway, 5/5, keep up the good work!

wow rock it´s a very nice map!

the amount of hours you've put into this map really were worth the effort :)

Like always... pwns!

One problem: some areas are simply too concentrated - I think that monsters should be more spread out = more binding gameplay. Another thing is that the layout is pretty confusing (after a dozen rounds around the building, wouldn't be) - I kept going up and down, up and down, for every single door.. ;-) But I guess that non-linearity is present in real life, too. So that's perhaps why I found it more challenging than just fighting in the front line ;)

Update these and you have yourself a well deserved 5/5 ;)
For now - 4/5

Please don't hate me for that :P

Oh, and I would have loved to have heard your music in the official release - just repeating would be absolutely fine!
I do love some of the elements like the window that shows the outside world and the spaceship-like feeling in the middle of gameplay: very lovely!

Despite my sad criticism, it OWNS! (I do take the fact that the layout is pretty old into consideration :) )

level9 was developed with superior skill and precision to bring exceptional singleplayer experience!

I have been waiting since you told me on monday :)
Downloading...

Layout was a bit weird but after you get used to it its really fun to play :)
My only complaint is that in one of the parts outside i died because i tried to jump into a teleport but it had glass around it that was hard to see.

Pretty awesome 5/5

Very solid map, which strenght is the non-linearity.
Compared with others, this map adds more spice to the gameplay, by taking advantage of every single area of the well designed layout (cool details and ideas, very good use of textures and particles). I like the fact that even the doors are used in a "non-standard" way, compared to the other SP maps I've played before. Monsters are well distributed as well, and not difficult to defeat, with some strategy: the best part is that the player has to think, and to figure out where he came from and where's the next area, each time he hits one of the wisely hidden switches. My only complaint is the complete lack of visible respawning-points, but besides that, it's an excellent map, with a cool Sci-Fi look and feel.

5/5, of course.

I hope this is included in the next release of sauer, this map is just excellent, the lights are well placed, the monsters are a pain (and in a few areas it's a bit crowded). The lack of respawnpoints is definitely a bother. but all in all, I love it.

5/5

nice map 5/5. youre ideas have inspired me, now im gunna make a sp map ;)

!if to be, than be the best!

Wow! This is on par with "An Army of One" ... definitely release-quality material - this should be included for sure!

Drakas said he was confused by the layout ... hehe, yeah, so was I ... and I even remember this from wayback, when you showed me the humble beginnings.
But the finished job, boy, astounding!

The whole ambience you've created with your unique architecture - there's parts I'll definitely take a longer look at than I did while hunting down those monsters ;-) ... never seen combinations like that - but they definitely work!
And yes, your usage of the (still so new) particles definitely made this map worth the wait!
All this combined with your exquisite use of lighting ... as I said : the whole ambience!

I also enjoyed your ending very much ... Surprise! :)

BTW: I never did use any of those quad-damages ... and there were some "floating" monsters back at the end ... that last group where there's at least 4 Bauul's in that corridor - that last group was ... well obviously not sitting ducks, rather floating ducks, but for Sauerbraten that's just the same thing ... but this kind of issue usually doesn't occur every time, there's a bit of variance in monster-spawning!

Awesome! Thanks, dude, I'll have hours of fun trying to beat my own best-score :) :)

rocknrol, how about adding a short storyline to the description?

-This map really gave me the feeling that I was in some other world.
-The throughout the level it kept the same theme so it really fit together well.
-I loved the way you put together some of the places.
-I can tell you had this planned out and all.

-A problem I had was the way you named the doors.
You should have named them differently like...

-Control Room
-Engine Room
-Storage
-Watch Tower

-By replacing door numbers with letters it would make it alot easier to remember where each door is located.
-I spent more time finding out where to go then actually fighting monsters and making progress.

-add some more monsters.
I found the level to be much to easy even with skill set to level 10.

-But hey man...
-Despite the fact the door names were a bit dull and the fighting was a bit easy...

-Great work-5/5

-If you installed those things I suggested above It'll be a 6/5 for sure!

I just crapped my pants for sheer awesomeness! I like the way you use cubes for purely visual appeal. Light effects too. looks like duke nukem or something. Very much liked the non-linearity and the puzzling. We need more of that. Less spoonfeeding the monsters to you bit by bit. especially liked the quad in the middle of the room. Good work!

Thanks for the great level!

While playing it over in different ways, I did get stuck behind door 1 before it was open. Not sure if that is by design..

Going to play the update now...

Thanx for the new door names!

Loving this new version hehe.

:)

Finally had time to play it through, and I love it :) Tapped the "E" button before the last door *DOH!*

I swear im soooooo jealous on your particles hehe still gotta learn how to do that ;) Guess my next map will include some too :)

5/5 for gameplay, architecture, and design :)

Very, very well made map. The particles were spectacular, and fit in quite well with the overall theme. The 5/5 I am giving it is well deserved.

I have no words..... WOW THIS MAP IS PURE AWESOME. THIS IS NO DOUBT THE BEST SP MAP IVE EVER PLAYED. I guess I had some words :)

!if to be, than be the best!

Subject says it all, congrats rock, you did it again!

Edited by Admin (Quin): Censored bad language, please be more considerate of the varied (young and old) audience Quadropolis attracts.

i really like it.
one word: atmosphere!
5/5

on a side note: i think it is about time to have some map oclusion in sauer.
my old computer is suffering on every sp map released.
that portal thing i saw somewhere in the docs is not implemented yet?
anyway, it is just a humble wish.

good work!

good
more to come?

<><><>Always someone above you :) <><>

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Map is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry it took me so long to get 'round to rating this map!
Finally got to play it with the new release of Sauer...
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rate this 10 out of 5 stars!!!

AMAZING!!!

Here's what I really liked:
1. the open locker
2. the security cameras!!!
3. EXCELLENT monster placement!!
4. GREAT use of windows
5. VERY nice to have the doors all labeled!!!
6. nice to play a map that looks as good on the OUTSIDE as on the inside!!
7. super good suspense/pacing of action !!

This map literally BLEW ME AWAY!!
the particle FX are so well done!!

the only thing i didn't care for was the constant white light strip that runs thru the main hub of the map - i found it a bit distracting....

but even that can't take away my rating - 10 out of 5 !!

GREAT JOB -
KEEP IT UP!!

Quite the map; I very much enjoyed playing this, especially the lulls trying to figure out where to go next. Non-linearity is a large component of the SP map I'm currently working on, and I was very much glad to see it here.

Yeah, the non linear aspects of this map was huge - certainly something I am trying to achieve too, yet it is difficult thing to do as you try to lead the player to the objectives in the map...

I was totally lost in this map - going around and around in circles at times until I started to recognise certain 'landmarks' I suppose. I didn't complete the map, admittedly, as I was busy trying to finish my own map and learn more, but it certainly inspired me with the use of textures and geometry - like the locker door for example, I was convinced that had to have been a mapmodel and was surprised to find it was just cubes and texture.

Personally I am not one for using all the monster ents as it can give a fragmented feel to the narrative - difficult to create the illusion with so many unrelated monsters after you. But, I guess out in space who knows - maybe that's what you get! Cheers.

Everything has been said: great map!
But yeah: that white strip is what I don't like very much
But other than that - nice textures and particles
lol, the open locker impressed me too :)
