So I abandoned kzj_unique to make this map instead. Maybe I'll submit the other one but it probably won't get accepted.

On to it!

I've gone for something completely unique. I have taken elements from the original Prince of Persia 1 & 2 games and combined them into a map of pure awesomeness.

You begin in a replica of the first dungeon of PoP 1:

You fall from the gate and the beginning sound of the game is played. You then simply follow the hallways. Here are some more screenshots in order:

(At the end of the first level hallway, near the end of level door)

(Looking down the staircase after you enter the end of level door)

Then you end up in the magic carpet area of level 5 of PoP 2. I've stayed true to the room as much as possible. And yes, the magic carpet will go up and out the ceiling hole through the sky to the next area. And yes, you will get smashed just like in the game if you don't keep on going past the room to hit the tile/button to open the gates:

(Through to the next room. I've got a neat effect for if you fall in the lava. If you've played PoP 2, then you know what I'm talking about. ;))

Everyone, let me know what you think and if you have played the game(s) and have some ideas/tips for me, please let me know. :)

Update (08.11.07):

I've retexured everything to use the actual Prince Of Persia textures. I've also finished the old room and created a new room in the ruined palace theme where the magic carpet drops you off just like in the original game. Lots of time was spent in this room making the textures fit perfectly and creating the detailed brushes. Oh and yes, that is a flying head in the far back on the right side. Unfortunately you can't fight it. =p

I've finished the ruins section and beautified the magic carpet ride pathway.

Major overhaul! I've added much more detail to the rooms and added so much more content. As far as I know, the map is complete. Before I submit it, however, I would like some people to download it and do some test runs and let me know what they think. All input is helpful even if it's a flame, but you have to tell me why it's horrible if you choose to flame in your reply. :)

I'm using actual textures from the original games.

Here are some screenshots of the second PoP game for comparison:
