Hephaestus-1

now THIS is a fine alkaline map! played it on normal, got 6/8 secrets and all the kills. loved the flow, aesthetics, enemy variety, and secret placement. the underwater combat section with the diver enemies was really fun too, probably one of my favorite parts of the whole map. my only problem was that it got a bit mazelike at the end, but i eventually figured out where to go, so i can forgive that

Awesome map. Classic ZetaByt map with the early SNG, constant flow of enemies and aggressive combat, and clear but thoughtful level progression.
Nice work, as usual.

Great Alkaline Map. Completely polished. Many exciting encounters and a perfect level of difficulty for me. Thanks a lot.

PS: Beware the mines

Great looking details achieved with cr8 textures. Layout is good with just a couple of unsure moments where to go. Encounters are decent with Alkaline roster, but one specific moment with grenade drones can really throw you off. I've discovered a new found hatred towards these enemies.

I Like the variety that different paths take and keeps the playthrough fresh through its relatively long playtime. Maybe couple bigger arenas or sections would've been nice to see. At one moment I felt like I was going through some linear corridor maze so there a room or 2 would've been great.

Amazing! Keep up the good work!

What gorgeous map! Combat and play are superb too. Well done ... just well done.

My playthrough:

I got a lot of pleasure playing it.
Thank you.

Very good. Pls carry on like that!
Thanks for all Your work, and thanks for sharing!

Really fun!
Makes me wish there was another alkaline jam

A nice tech-y CR8 map that's decently open with some nice loops. It must have been due to personal fatigue but backtracking is actually facilitated with some really nice neon light strips in the hub area lol, only noticed it upon a 2nd brief revisit of the map. I like the scale and unlike most medium to large CR8 maps, getting lost is usually not a thing. Fun setups and some really great details + 45 degree alcoves. Water area also rocks, and that orange sky fits, gives it a Q2/Doom 3 aesthetic.

Yes, that was fun. Fast and not too confusing.
Also not too difficult for me, playing skill 0, as mostly.
I'll give this another try soon, as always with your maps.

Fast, frantic, amazing high quality experience.

Great enemy placement and selection, kept me on my toes the whole time.

Highly enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing your work

Very well made map with great progress. Got lost few times near the end, though.
6/8 secrets

Neat map; I appreciated the full mod being included here. I did get a little lost here and there, but not for too long.

The encounters were fun. A focus on underwater combat makes a return.

The "re-routing power" idea is always neat to see in maps and other games. I do think there was a bit of a missed opportunity with the lighting and cr8's switchable light textures to communicate even more of an idea of re-routing power to different areas visually. These are small things in the grand scope, however.
