kz_bkz_lostbase

Status: Denied

Reasons:

- the jumps : Until you get to that big climbing room, the map reminds you of kz_kzsca_reaserch. Also, the bhop parts and the last climb part have nothing special. The bhop is to repetitive and about the cave’s jumps, we’ve seen it all before. Basically, we can’t find anything new or special in some way in the map.

- the textures : Seems like you suddenly had an urge to use Source textures. It's pretty “dull”. Also, it’s to clean for a lost base. A lost base needs to look rusty and rotten.
And the texture transition doesn't really fit to it.

- the architecture : Like we previously stated, the way you structured the map, looks like research. As for the inside parts, if you’ll look carefully, you will realize that the architecture is pretty square. Ordinary rooms with no fancy architecture to boost the idea of a lost base and to make the monotony go away.

- the environment : Again, the light kills your map. It's all too bright. The last room is not fullbright, but the light just looks strange there. It’s too bright for a lost base. The environment doesn’t look like a lost one.

- shortcuts

from dLx :
If you start on the top of the timer you save many many seconds
Another obvious sc saves 2-3 seconds

Suggestions:

from dLx :
Trying being more creative.

from puppetz :
Instead of "mass-producing" many maps which are basically all the same, you should work on ONE map and try to give it some life, cause it feels like you’re a machine building one map after another, without putting no soul or heart into your artwork.

from dEMolite :
Darker lights!
Better texture transitions
Rusty/Rotten textures!
