When I say bright and dull, i mean the refelectivity on the sand/other textures is really high, I suggest toneing it down (editing the texture file will do that).
Gameplay wise, it don't see anything fun, there is a wall you can walk on, and 2 platforms with spawns... all held withing a rectangular box of brick. It just doesn't look intersting. Where are flank routes? Balconies? Things like that.
It is overly bright, you need to tone the lightning down, not to mention what he means by dull is fact whole map is just blocky and flat, i understand this is minecraft themed map, but compare it to pl_minepit or minecraft itself, they don't have flat surfaces and square roofs everywhere, it needs more variety in shapes.
I agree with all of the above, the map indeed looks way too dull and lame. Minecraft themed map should look more like natural minecraft, so Id like it.
As long as those colossal blocks that Minecraft calls stairs has no clip on them so we don't have to jump from stair to stair to get up them, I'm fine.
I find it interesting that you're doing this and will keep an eye on this thread. I would offer my services for modeling; however, I highly doubt you'll need them knowing the theme of the map.
