i feel like posting feedback and so i will the cave idea is cool and the water reflections are awesome but the disp walls look damn near fullbright and boring you should make them more interesting instead of being uniformly lit you could for example make blueish lights and yellowish lights for teamsides, make some shadow details especially from those constructionlights and make more darker ceilings for example because as i said the walls feel somewhat plain and fullbright

Occult

Aesthetics

Final Aesthetics Score: 78
  • The jungle cave theme of Occult is unique and well executed. The central area is fantastic and there's a lot of detail here. You have light reflections from the water on ceilings, water dripping from the stalactites and tree roots sticking through the ceiling.
  • There are some issues with team colouring at present. Since all the floors and walls are grey, it's not as obvious which side of the map you're on. You have used some coloured stone walls, but there needs to be more of them. Using team coloured props would also help.
  • While the map is well lit, the lighting is very boring. It's underground, so it should be a lot darker since the only light is being cast by lamps and the hole in the roof of the middle area. You could create so much more atmosphere by changing the lighting.

Technical

Final Technical Score: 73

  • Got some red in the console when I booted the map; mostly props and particle systems that need your attention.
  • Framerate is good; wireframe was a little bit difficult to use without being blinded by the void, but everything seemed straightforward.
  • Clipping was pretty good. Players can get caught on some of the bricks that stick out of the wall.
