Quite impressive for a 'first'!
The sheer amount of work to make a multi-map pack... my respect.

The maps themselves: well, i can see the learning curve. In general, the earliest maps are blocky, have bad lighting, bad texture alignment, are a bit oversimple, some have the same plot line and so on. But they are gradually improving, and the imagination is there!

Allow me to suggest that You find 2 - 4 beta testers; then go through the maps, one by one and get them improved and/or debugged. Some input from friends can really move stuff.

I'm very happy to have You in the mapping community, and i look forward to see ver.1.0 ! :)

Thanks for all Your work, and thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! It means a lot to hear that from a member of the community :)

You’re absolutely right about the learning curve, but happy to hear you see some improvement and the imagination, that means a lot. Someone here send me some detailed feedback which will really improve the maps, so I completely agree with the suggestion for beta testers :D Hope to collect more feedback to keep improving and learning.

Many thanks again for the review and I hope to share an updated version of the maps soon.
Charmingly 90s, the environments can be quite atmospheric at times considering their simplicity. I liked the comedy and story telling. I haven't played too many maps using Drake / Keep etc, but I see a trend in them being generally a bit too hard, especially on Nightmare, I had to use god mode a few times and I almost never do it. There are possibly some progression woes too, such as in episode 3's map, either due to me missing something or maybe sequence breaking, it's hard to say with the grappling hook, so noclip also got unearthed for this. Looking forward to future updates, especially since I think a map is missing? (the one after beating the final map).

Hi many thanks for your comment, glad you liked the comedy and story and many thanks for your feedback :) I will look at the points you raised and try to improve. Could you perhaps share what sections were to difficult (on Nightmare)? I will then check how I can simplify. I can imagine that episode 3's map can lack some direction, will try to add some more structure there. If you have any suggestions feel free to share.

Indeed, the last map still needs to be added. I have one in draft, but needs some touch up, will come in the next iteration.
