The Complex

Hey, I am working on a level with an industrial / tech ambiance. First quake map I ever done, I used TrenchBroom + a selection of Makkon textures.
I wanted to get some feedback on what I've done so far. It's one third of the level, fully playable with a start and finish. Each part of the level would have a slightly different gameplay, the one you can play here is slower, in a more narrow architecture.

Just id1? Not Copper? Not Alkaline?

Also. This https://www.slipseer.com/index.php?threads/betas-playtesting.180/ thread is specifically for playtesting

Oh. It was id1 compatible at least
1. Looks very cool. No comments at all. I like it
2. Looked like pixel density is not consistent. Some may find it a problem. Didn't bother me personally
3. Layout is cool. I wasn't ever lost. And that loop when I returned to silver key door was pleasant
4. Encounters are very simple. Just enter a room and shoot. But if it's 1/3 of the map, then maybe it should be this way, so later battles will be gradually more challenging. Multidirectional and in waves. idonno, will see the final map...

5. Was low on ammo closer to the end. You'll see
6. Some areas are pitch black dark and mobs were there. Shooting blindly is not fun

In short - do it. Cool map
Here's a video. It's private of course, so it's visible only with this link

Thanks a lot for taking the time and for your feedback.
I'll update the ennemies once the entire map is playable. It's kinda static at the moment, I agree. I'll balance it over the whole level. Same for ammo.
The plan is to have a much more classic gameplay before this part, with larger rooms. Faster, with more routes and vertical options. Then for the third part, some train / platforms / jumping oriented action.
Thanks again !

I like the map a lot. I like the architecture and the structure very much. I found the battles quite simple and monotonous in places. In some places it was very dark for me. Also at the point where you fight the Shambler. But it added to the tension there. Towards the end I ran out of ammunition. I have attached a demo.
